Introduction

Self-developement can seem scary. After all, it’s full of guru’s and conflicting advice. One tells you meditating is for pussies, the other one tells you masculine man meditate. One tells you you should go to the gym everyday, the other tells you you should go to it 3 times a week. It’s conflicting, and on top of that, just by itself, self-improvement is already a difficult journey.

If you’re in the situation of wanting to get onto self-improvement but you’re struggling because of a lack of motivation, a lack of discipline, or simply because you’re lost, this article is here for you. We’ll discover how changing your life step by step is actually easy, and how you can do it today.

But what is changing your life step by step, fundamentally? Well, it’s slowly adding good habits and slowly erasing bad habits, so it’s almost effortless, and a year later, you would have made incredible progress. For example, if you began meditating everyday for 1 minute, in 2 months, you probably would want to meditate more, since it might seem way too short. Then, you will upgrade the time you spend meditating again and again, and you will slowly implement the mindset of self-improvement in your own mind, which will lead to you being disciplined enough to changing your life two steps by two steps, and soon enough, taking huge leaps in the void.

In other words, it’s all about progressively overloading the work you do. If you meditate one minute today, do two tomorrow, until you reach the mark of 10 minutes of meditation a day comfortably for the rest of your life. If you go to the gym for 10 minutes this month, next month try 15 minutes. For people who are too lazy to do anything productive with their lives, this is a great way to start bettering yourself and becoming a better human being.

Changing your life, one step at a time, enables you to make progress effortlessly. It’s not the best or fastest or the most efficient way or effective way to make progress, but if you’re struggling to even get onto meditation, or fitness, or dieting for one singular day, if you lack the discipline as to move your ass from the couch as a minimum, like 90% of people, then and only then, this guide will help you.

So, this is who I believe you are: someone who wants to change his life and build good habits, but who doesn’t know where to start or how to start and who doesn’t have the motivation or discipline to work hard on his self-improvement goals. If you recognize yourself in what I am describing here, this article is for you.

Here are the five habits we will try to instill through the techniques I’ll give you in this article: exercising, eating healthy, sleeping well, meditating, and reading.

So, let’s start with exercising: how can you instill the habit of exercising? The first thing you want to do is decide wether you want to workout at home or at the gym (the best is at the gym, or in a sports club if you don’t care about weight-lifting). Then, go and sign up to the gym already, or prepare a place where you can workout everyday at home. The goal is going to be to workout at least three times a week minimum. If you’re at home, you can practice HIIT on YouTube or on a HIIT application, or you can go and run or jog outside, or you can go and make push-ups, it’s not important. Simply exercise NOW, NO EXCUSES. Do it for only a single minute, no trespassing the minute, only one minute. Do ANYTHING. Your maximum of push-ups, jumping jacks, ANYTHING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. It might seem stupid, but if you don't do it, you already gave up and it shows you don't have the strength of character.

Did you do it? Fine. You only worked out for a minute, which isn't that much, but this already puts you ahead of 90% of your competitors in life. Now, I want you to add 30 more seconds at each workout you do, everyday. This means, I want you to workout a bit more every single time. Add a few sets of an exercise, add more running, add more push-ups, whatever. Just add more, a little bit more, each time, until you can exercise for five minutes. Once you reached five minutes, try to add 1 minute each time, and get to 10 minutes. Eventually, continue the process until you’re at around half an hour three times a week, and from there, decide on wether you want to build muscle, go to the gym, lift weight, or go into the rugby club or football club or do this and that and about your workout program, etc.

When I started exercising in November 2022, I would workout for 10 minutes at first. I was just doing HIIT on an HIIT app. Now, when nothing interferes in my life, I workout six times a week, and on these six times, five times are as long as an hour. AN HOUR. OR MORE. What I’m saying here is that when you progressively overload, it becomes your routine, and once you move from loser to average or from loser to winner in the fitness space for example, exercise is not as hard as before as you build a strength of character and an identity that immediately counterparts your lack of desire and discipline and motivation that you might feel at this moment.

So, if you worked out for 1 minute today, tomorrow try 1 minute and 30 seconds. Too hard? Do 1 minute and 15 seconds. Unmotivated? Do once more 1 minute. The goal is not to become ripped or jacked or muscular or thinner, it's instilling sustainable habits. Could you sustain one minute of exercising for your ENTIRE LIFE? Yes. Probably. Or else you simply are a piece of crap, in all honesty.

Now, for eating healthy. Same principle: become a little bit better, everyday. Add healthy foods, everyday. Remove unhealthy foods, everyday. Change your environment so healthy foods are easy to find and accessible, and throw away unhealthy foods or hide them or lock them, so they’re inaccessible and hard to find. Educate yourself a little bit more on dieting every day. Change your diet to a 100% natural diet. Eat a little bit better, each day. Add one leaf of salad, each day, until you have a whole salad everyday. Add two broccoli each meal, until you can finally eat 15 in one meal. Eat one steak and a quarter, and then another day one steak and a half, and then two steaks.

Eat less junk food. Change your ice cream consumption from thrice a week to twice a week, to once a week, to never. Or, at first, eat your ice cream like usual, but don’t finish it. And then, finish it less and less, until finally, you don’t eat it on a particular day all together. In this way, you will be able to build healthier habits, and break bad ones. It might look ridiculous from the outside and you might have your ego telling you « I’m better than that let’s go on the super hard diet that I’ll not be able to sustain », but if you’re like the vast majority of people, and if you’re like I described, and if you don’t have enough strength of character, it’s way better to go with this approach, even if you feel almost stupid for doing it, and actually getting results from it, rather than being extreme and then returning to your bad habits.

Think about it, is it better to let your ego speak for yourself, and go on a diet you know you can't sustain, all of this to act like if you were "super strong" only to fall back into your stupid, weak human habits, and therefore castrate your life from fulfillment, or is it better to put your ego aside, say "fuck it, I'm a piece of crap", and get to work already? Tell me, what is better? Acting cool and failing, or stop deluding yourself with your massive ego, realize you're no-one, and work from the start? Boom, I bet I hit a realization in your brain here. Good luck sleeping tonight.

For sleeping, it’s also the same thing. Go to sleep 5 minutes earlier tonight. Wake up 5 minutes earlier or wake up at the same time everyday. Go to sleep at the same time everyday. Maybe let yourself one day in the week where you can sleep as much as you want. Slowly optimize your sleep by reducing the lights in your room everyday, by trying to make your home more silent everyday, by making the temperature of your room a little bit better everyday. It’s about slowly upgrading until you get tangible results. And, one day, you might have a breakthrough because it’ll annoy the fuck out of you to be slow, and you’ll suddenly get your ass to work. But for now, use this techniques.

For meditation, same thing again and again, add 30 seconds at each meditation session until you can meditate 10 minutes correctly everyday.

For reading, read a little bit more each day. Read one page every single day, and then two, and then three, and then four, and then five, and then one chapter everyday. In this way, you can become better daily.


















Conclusion

To conclude, it’s all about becoming 1% better each day. James Clear said that if you become better 1% each day, it means you become 365% better each year, meaning you become 36.5x better than you were the year prior, and that is, each year.

And as time will come, and as you will become stronger and stronger, exercising, reading, meditating, dieting, and more, will become "easy parts of your life". And so one day, because you're human like the rest of us, you'll let your ego get the best of you and you'll think to yourself "I'll stop optimizing this, I don't need it anymore, I've already got success".

And, if this ever happens, remember that beginner's technique (changing step by step) also works for advanced master. Things are skills, and if you don't train them, you lose them. If you don't workout for years, you might have a pretty good physique, but you don't have a great one. You might have built the foundation when you were younger for example, but what about now? So, put your ego aside, and even tho you might have been to the top when younger, re-act like a beginner.

Most people don't have the balls to do this. We live in a world of castrated men and masculine women. However, if you do have the balls, you'll understand the wisdom behind this philosophy of using beginners techniques. If it worked before, it works now. Period.
