How to master self-discipline
In this episode, I discuss techniques that I have used to combat my own desires and become a self-disciplined person. Motivation is not enough in order to achieve your goals.
"I am not in the mood" or "I don't feel like it?" we often say this to us when we wake up in the morning. In those instances, you try to be motivated or you can try the techniques I have discussed in this video.
That's why discipline and motivation are not the same. Practicing self control by exercising your willpower is important. This means you still work despite of being tired, and to lean into resistance and welcome it with open arms.
That's why emulating these steps in your life are paramount and dependent on you becoming disciplines and, subsequently, successful in any endeavor in life.
