How do I stop my mind from making excuses and keep my vows?
Do not obey the lazy mind
The mind says "from tomorrow" or "just five more minutes", and if you obey it, it learns you are weak. Keep the mind in control and keep your vow, and you win.
One who keeps his mind in control, who vows to wake at 4 and, once up, does not go back to sleep.
