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.
One of the things I have learned for a long time now and practiced so well this year is self-discipline. It is an absolute trait to inculcate into our lives. What’s a person without self-discipline, having boundaries, goals, and working hard into achieving them?
To build up these characters, one needs to be consistent and motivated which is the hard part. Yeah.
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.
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.
Set a Low Baseline
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.
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.
“Discipline equals freedom” and “Discipline begins where motivation ends.”
