Self-Discipline Tips That Have Helped Me in 2023
<p>Yeah, It’s the half of 2023 already and I am super excited for what the other half brings. If I could rate this half from 1–10, it would be 7.</p>
<p>One of the things I have learned for a long time now and practiced so well this year is <strong>self-discipline</strong>. It is an absolute trait to inculcate into our lives. What’s a person without <strong>self-discipline</strong>, <strong>having boundaries</strong>, <strong>goals</strong>, and <strong>working hard</strong> into achieving them?</p>
<p>To build up these characters, one needs to be consistent and motivated which is the hard part. <em>Yeah</em>.</p>
<p>Earlier this month I challenged myself to a workout routine for the whole month and I did it! We all know how staying consistent with a particular task is hard right??? I will tell you how.</p>
<p>We often feel unmotivated because we haven’t generated momentum. You are not lazy, you are just momentarily stuck in a loop and your brain likes to stay in the comfort of that loop.</p>
<h2>Set a Low Baseline</h2>
<p>Set a goal to do at least 5 minutes of that goal every day, like exercising, studying, reading, and cleaning. Just 5 minutes. Make it 2 minutes if 5 feels like too much and you will see progress.</p>
<p>By setting a low baseline, you make your goals more attainable and you generate momentum. Before you know it, 5 minutes turn into an hour of productive work. It’s not about motivation, it’s about momentum.</p>
<p>“<em>Discipline equals freedom” and “Discipline begins where motivation ends.”</em></p>
<h2>Positive Affirmations</h2>
<p>I have learned that I am my motivation. If you tell yourself you’re not motivated, you won’t be. But if you change the language in your head to be positive and instead say “I am super motivated!” Your options are endless. You are in charge of your thoughts. Choose wisely. Starting my affirmation session this month has been a game-changer. You should try it too, I wrote about it <a href="https://mimiminispace.medium.com/speaking-positively-in-june-15-powerful-affirmations-7240370bd906" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
