Discipline.

What was your first thought when you read the word…discipline?

You may be thinking…

😐I don't want to be disciplined. That's no fun.

😐I want to be able to eat whatever I want.

😐I don't like rules in my life.

😐I prefer to go with the flow…

Sound familiar?

I have a question for you to contemplate.

Why?

Why do you want to live a life where you have no self-regulation?

Think about the amount of time you've spent overeating, procrastinating, and overspending (how we do one thing is how we do everything).

Lack of self-discipline.

When I answer that question, I realized I was afraid to feel the discomfort of being uncomfortable.

Self-discipline is not easy.

It's much easier to “live in the moment” and “go with the flow.” #yolo

That thinking wasn't providing me with the life or the body that I wanted.

😔Being $236,000 in debt isn't fun.

😔Being 25 pounds overweight isn't fun.

😔Worrying constantly about what I had to get done, isn't fun.

When I decided I wanted something more for myself, I looked at others who I admired.

The common theme amongst them is?

Self-discipline.

Rather than “go with the flow” I recognize that self-discipline yielded my success.

I'm not perfect.

I'm still under construction.

But I'm much better than I used to be.

LIVE YOUR LIFE BASED ON YOUR GOALS AND NOT YOUR CURRENT MOOD

When you decide this is how you want to operate, the practice of self-discipline becomes easier. 

 

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION

How can you begin to practice self-discipline when you think about your goal? 

Goal: Lose 25 pounds

Thought: I can practice self-discipline by deciding to stop eating at 7 pm every night. 

 

Goal: Eat less refined carbs

Thought: I can practice self-discipline by filling my stomach with more vegetables and eating complex carbs. 

 

What if you could believe that self-discipline = your success, friend?
