The first thing I do in the morning is turn on my screens and see where everything is.
The second thing I do is ask myself whether I am mentally sound today. That I will be able to accept the outcome of any situation and resolve it quickly according to plan.
I have a strong intuition. The little voice in the back of my mind speaks to me and will say one of two things:
1. "You have tremendous mental strength and discipline today and you will fight off the demons that scream impatience and anxiety."
2. "You are mentally and physically drained of energy and your discipline will falter. You are not 100% today. Do something else."
I listen as best I can but occasionally, I get in my own way and those are the days I lose. I'm getting better at understanding and listening to what my body is telling me. I admit that sometimes I just don't want to hear it (read: breaking rules). The problem exists that if you break any rule once, it becomes 10 times more difficult to not break that rule again, hence the "bad day". Simply put, ask yourself if you have 100% confidence in your ability to not do bad habits. Purely a behavioral choice that requires strong will power.
