Sure, thanks to both of you for the great question. Attaching pain is different for everyone, you have to try different methods, but they all start the same, you have to identify the reason you are doing something first. Once you have that...
What is at stake if you DON'T do it?
Let's use the gym example. There are two primary reasons one goes to the gym, health and vanity (not a negative thing).
So once you identify which it is in your mind (and honestly for the gym, once you start going and see how it sets you up day to day physically and mentally your body takes the habit over, vs your mind and will power anyway) ... you can figure out what's at stake if you do not.
Trying to improve your look to get a significant other, if you don't go, you are no closer to that goal then when you started, you will be a fat loser sitting on the couch letting life fly by in no time! Sweet right? That's the guy/girl you've always dreamed of being right?
Let's use social leverage here too... what do your friends, family, potential mates think and say about you? Are you just the fat guy sitting around not doing shit in life? That sounds like the type of dude everyone wants to date!
@G-Man Keep in mind I am not talking about you here, just using your example .
On top of that, once you have your reasons and what's at stake, you can set up with a friend or even web apps that use escrow to increase the pain, You miss the gym today? send $100 to a competitor via a buy, or an opposing political party, or Scientology , or whatever it is that you don't want to win in life.... because let's face it, if you aren't trying to beat them everyday, you are helping them anyway so might as well speed it up right?
This is the foam on the latte in terms of strategies and tactics, part of the reason I do this as a coach is because I tailor fit it to each client. That being said, if you are committed to the process, find a few methods that you think might work, and start .... literally today.
The reason this is the only bold part of this post, if you leave the site of a plan without taking action, you already started failing it.
@G-Man you know what this means for you.... get that $100 out and send it off. I bet you wont miss the gym the rest of the week.
Wanted to bring something up here specifically, your target "talking to pretty girls" What does that do for you long term? what is the ultimate goal there and is that the best use of your time to accomplish it? (no right or wrong answer here)

Stay strong!
