How to structure your life to maximise your self discipline
Become Your Ideal Self Newsletter #1
Self-discipline is always a function of one’s willpower.
The secret to self-discipline is exerting your willpower over your emotions, every single time.
You have to develop it.
How do you develop self-discipline?
By not doing indiscipline.
If you don’t do indiscipline, you do discipline.
By deploying what you do and how you do it - you develop discipline.
Here are some of the effective ways to develop self-discipline:
1. Resist Impulses:
Resist ALL impulses to check social media
Resist all impulses of automatic habits
Resist all impulses to buy something
Resist all impulses to grab a snack
Resist all impulses to switch tasks
2. Be Organised At All Times:
Keep yourself clean
Keep mess out of your life
Keep your desk, room, house, laptop, etc. clean & organized
3. Stick To A Plan:
Plan your days/weeks/months in advance
Be deliberate & stick to that plan
Say no to anything that isn’t a part of that plan
4. Be Persistent:
Don’t give in to drama
Don’t give in to the fear of failure
Don’t waver in what you want to do
Don’t give in to emotions (they are temporary)
5. Endure Pain:
Confront difficulties
Take up challenges
Love the pain that comes from not giving in
Don’t try to dodge the discomfort, in fact, seek it
Confront difficulties that arise from the struggle
Really endure the pain that arises from resisting day-to-day impulses
Practice this religiously for 2 weeks.
You will have a completely different life, guaranteed!
