Willpower loses to your environment every single time
If you've never heard of the marshmallow test, that's ok ill fill you in.
Basically, no child can have a marshmallow in front of them for 15 minutes without eating it.
The same goes for you with screens, junk food, and entertainment, and near occasions of sin. If it's within reach, you'll reach for it eventually.
That's why, before we do anything in the temple builder program, we fix your environment. We take away the marshmallows (sometimes literal marshmallows) and replace it withthings you actually need: protein, prayer, and penance.
If you're tired of being a slave to your environment, comment "marshmallow." And I'll help you clean up your environment, step by step.
