What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
