🔥Forge Discussion🔥 - The Habits That Make or Break a Man

I’ve learned that who you become is shaped by what you do daily, the small habits that either make you stronger or keep you stuck.

For a long time, I had some terrible habits holding me back. I’d stay up late scrolling on my phone, wake up groggy, skip workouts, and let my mornings slip away. It wasn’t until I got intentional about my routines that I started seeing real changes.

One of the biggest shifts? Replacing weak habits with powerful ones.

Instead of staying up late watching random videos, I made a rule, no screens an hour before bed. I started reading before sleep instead of scrolling, and just that one change made my mornings feel completely different.

Instead of hitting snooze and rolling out of bed last minute, I committed to waking up earlier than I needed to. That extra time gave me space to think, plan, and actually set the tone for my day.

Instead of skipping workouts because I was tired, I made training non-negotiable. No matter how I felt, I showed up. And the more consistent I was, the easier it became, because my identity shifted from “I should workout” to “I’m the kind of man who never skips workouts.”

And the biggest one? Cutting out mindless distractions, doomscrolling, useless drama, wasting hours doing things that didn’t move me forward.

1️⃣ What’s one habit you’ve built that has completely changed your life?

2️⃣ What’s one habit you had to cut to finally level up?
