I haven't yet read the full "Tiny Habits" book by BJ Fogg, but went to a seminar about it and intend to read it after another book I am working on. One interesting piece that made a lot of sense about building/destroying habits is that you cannot rely on motivation and willpower. These are fleeting feelings. We all know how we slip up over time when our motivation eventually fades for one reason or another. Our willpower is stronger at certain times than others, and in the beginning of a reboot usually very low.
I feel like I am close to finally breaking free from PMO for good, but have a couple pieces left to figure out which cause me to fall after some time.
One of them is that I have rode on my immediate motivation after a slip-up, motivation from my goals, motivation from those I let down when I fall, etc. But eventually, I forget why porn is so bad. I can list out all the reasons in my head of what its done to me, those I love, and whatnot...but I still forget the pain it causes regardless.
So, I'm curious as to what people think about this and how to overcome the fleeting, undependable nature of motivation and willpower.
