Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
