Examples of how Owen does this?
He probably means make it a BIG deal when you put something off you know you should be doing. When he says punish he doesnt mean "Make yourself sit in timeout staring at the wall for an hour." Owen

He strives for 100% consistency with everything he does. He said he didn't go to the gym one time so after bootcamp he worked out all night instead of sleeping. It communicates to your subconcious that if you get lazy, there's going to be pain so you get more solid and consistent and don't take any days off. You should probably ask him.Owen

A concept I like that I got from Eban Pagan is to make your success inevitable. Committ to doing something everyday. Give one of your friends a check for $1000. Tell him: "If you don't get a call from me everyday saying that I did what I said I was going to do, cash this check immediately."
One really solid university prof. gave a speech about how he was comitted to workout everyday. He was allowed to take any day off that he wanted, but the only rule was that he had to show up to the gym, then he can go home. He said he never missed a workout.
Probably two months back I was in a really shitty mood, terrible state. Didn't have any of buddies to go out with. I was coming up with all these excuses on why I shouldn't go out. I told myself that I don't hve to approach any girls, I just have to show up at the bar. I made it to the bar, and then I was there so I said fuck it and started approaching. Got blownout 4 times in a row, almost got into a fight. Fifth girl I approach I ended up fucking later that night.
It's weird how the brain works. Your brain just wants you to rest and not challenge yourself. Trick your brain. Take baby steps. Get a lot of leverage on yourself to pull through the times when you "just don't feel like it". That's how you get from good to amazing.

No, they didn't record it. It was a spontaneous thing because Owen was running on 2 hours sleep and was too tired to do the newbie seminar it was originally intended to be. He gave it his all and I still learned a shit-ton. It was a mindfuck. I quit smoking weed the same day.
From what you wrote it looks like this seminar was badass. Does RSD put out videos of these seminars?
You're an appreciating asset. She's a depreciating asset.

It figures that the one Derek is at doesn't get recorded. I cant find anything with that guy except for the Mastermind disc.
