Hi Shaun,
Sorry to say, there's no special trick. You just do it. And when you come up against your resistance, and the voice inside of you that says "NO! I'm sick of this!" and you do it anyway, 40 days cause you made the commitment - that's where the power comes from.
Having said that, you might want to start small to build your confidence. cut the times in half for nabhi kriya, for example, commit to 11 days instead of 40. Or pick a mantra to do for 3 minutes a day for 40 days. . . the important thing is to start developing commitment to your own process - so if you say "I will do this mantra 3 minutes, morning and night for 40 days" - that's 6 minutes out of your day, but if you follow through you've gained some points of self confidence and the power of your word. Then you can deepen.
You gotta find a balanced way to develop your discilpline, as if you were training a muscle in the gym. Self-tyranny leads inevitably to self-rebellion. Pick a realistic goal that will challenge the status quo a tiny bit, and stick to it.
Godspeed
