/fit/
Tonight you have learned the final and greatest truth of being /fit/: that ultimate mastery comes not of the body, but of the mind. Together, there is nothing your minds cannot accomplish. Help each other, draw upon one another, and always remember the true force that binds you. The same as that which brought me here tonight. That which I gladly return with my final words: I love you all, senpai.
I already know that. The problem is how the fuck do you train the mind effectively? I've tried so many things, and it's extremely hard to change your thought patterns. I've done cognitive therapy, meditation, mindfulness... Sometimes I feel like I actually accomplished something, but a few days later I'm back thinking the same shit. Nothing has the same noticeable effect as lifting a heavy ass barbell.

Force yourself to do the things you don't wanna do.
Sit in an ice bath. Eat healthy foods that you hate. Go run 5 miles in the rain at the drop of a dime and don't stop until you finish.
as far as thought patterns go, it sounds really corny but it worked for me...load hours of motivational videos on your phone/ipod and listen to that shit while you work. 8 hours a day of positive mental attitude kinda stuff does rub off.

this. I always listen to metal when lifting, then I do half an hour on the treadmil and listen to tony robbins videos on youtube, works great
