Better to get rid of illusions right away. The force loves – not a given, which others have and which you do not have.

This is why limiting your choice will help.. Let's admit, you want to drink less unhealthy soda and more healthy water. Light! Always keep three bottles of water on the table., and then you don't have to run to the refrigerator and choose.

Or another example: you want to be more economical. Move your credit card away or do this, so that only a limited amount can be debited without additional confirmation. Then you will surely think twice, before deciding to buy.
2. Don't leave that for tomorrow, what can be solved today
Decide in the evening, what will you wear in the morning, what to eat for breakfast and what for lunch – and don't forget to cook your meal. Having dealt with such small tasks in advance, you will save mental energy, which will come in handy for the really important decisions of tomorrow.

The third tip comes in handy here.…

Want to lose weight? If your psychic energy is running out, you, probably, so you will "start from tomorrow". Mental fatigue will tell you the easiest way out., which will actually lead you astray.
