Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Seriously.

How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?

strength over time.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

2. One More Rep

Another great way to boost your mental

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
