You need to first change who you think you are before you can become who you wish to become.

Think of yourself as a garden: just as different plants require specific nutrients and care to thrive, your body and mind require high-quality, positive habits to perform at their best.

I understood the power of habits

The plan to apply and break all of these habits is really simple:<ol><li>Scan through your daily habits and write them on a piece of paper.</li><li>Remove every bad habit you find and replace it with one of the good ones listed above.</li><li>Stick to the new schedule day in and day out.</li></ol>

The plan

You spent all of your life doing these bad habits. You can’t expect to change all of that in a few days.Changing your life starts with changing your identity.

It won’t be easy, and it’s ok

Not taking care of your body:<ul><li>Eating processed food</li><li>Drinking alcohol</li><li>Smoking</li></ul>Not taking care of your mind:<ul><li><a href="https://giovannispezia.com/how-to-break-phone-addiction/">Scrolling on social media</a></li><li><a href="https://giovannispezia.com/how-to-overcome-procrastination/">Procrastinating</a></li><li>Negative thoughts</li></ul>

Negative habits you should eliminate

The biggest turnback in getting out of depression for me was to start exercising.Starting to hit the gym will give you tremendous benefits (more than any other tip you will read in this guide), including:<ul><li>Boost your confidence to the roof</li><li>Give you purpose and a goal to achieve</li><li>Incredible physical and mental benefits</li><li>Teach you delayed gratification</li></ul>

I started exercising

Depression isn’t an insurmountable obstacle, and it is often confused with weakness.What I mean by that is: if you spend most of your precious time scrolling on social media, fapping, drinking, smoking, playing video games, etc. Then of course you’ll feel sluggish, sad, undriven, and without purpose.

I built mental toughness
