Change is not easy. Breaking habits and patterns is not easy. Yet, they must be broken. Break those and you break the bonds that hold you to all the things that keep you back. Deep, no? Yeah, but saying it is easy. Doing is the hard part.
I love routine. Routine is my homie, but she gets me into a lot of trouble. In routine lie those dumb-ass patterns. Now, time and time again, personal development experts, and even prominent business leaders such as Ray Dalio, founder and CEO of Bridgewater Associates (the world's largest hedge fund), former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and Russell Simmons, just to name a few, reference at least 2 of the 4 fundamentals that will lead anyone towards personal success.
1. Exercise
2. Diet
3. Meditation
4. Discipline
And, guess what. They're free! Would I like to have a personal trainer? A dietician? A private chef? A guru that will guide me through yoga and meditation? Hell, yeah! But guess what, I can't. And in the end, don't I know what I should and shouldn't eat? Do I really need a dietician for that? Unless you have some issue that requires a specialist's attention, then common sense is enough of a guide. Also, you can actually have your own trainer on your laptop. Big names such as Tracy Anderson and Jillian Michaels have free workout videos on the Internet. The same goes for meditation tutorials that are easy enough for the beginner. If you're like me, and you feel too "practical" for meditation, then Gabby Bernstein (sign up!) is perfect for you.
Now, discipline is a tricky one. That is the one thing I lack and the one thing that will make all the above possible. Because without discipline, I will not find the motivation or the time that is needed to keep on the path I've laid out for myself. Ugh, just saying the word makes me tired.

So, there's my list. Now, you can hold me to it!
