The one reason you aren’t disciplined enough

Whether it’s making the bed, eating healthy, or putting in hours after work to grow your side business, self-discipline is the bedrock of all habits.

Without self-discipline, you operate on bouts of inconsistent motivation and burn out when the motivation dries up.

But with self-discipline, you reach a state of flow with little resistance to your progress.

So where do you find self-discipline? How do you practice it?

You can’t.

Like I said self-discipline is the bedrock of all habits, but how do you develop a habit that’s good for you even if it’s hard to do?

You fall in love with the journey.

You have to love how, why, and who you want to become. If it’s a better relationship, the freedom to run your own business, the weight of debt lifted, the thought of living in a healthier body, whatever your it is, you need to be helplessly in love with it.

If not, figure out what you love instead, and break up with it.

If you love the thought of being healthier but your love of Sherlock is taking too much time away from exercising, cancel your Netflix account.
