From Lazy to Disciplined: Level up & Get Into your Productive Era

what's up guys welcome back to my channel I hope you're having a lovely day today and I hope it gets even better from watching this video today we're talking all about discipline this is one of my most requested videos you guys always want to see something about like how do I stick to things how do I commit to something how do I you know become successful and really put my all into something and keep going even when it gets difficult when I face challenges failures whatever like in order for me to succeed I know that

I need to learn discipline and I've definitely been there like I really had to learn this I was not good at it initially when I started my career and I think that's coming from like school I always hated school I was never disciplined in that department at all and I never learned that in my life I feel like I always kind of got by by doing like the bare minimum which is fine but sometimes you know when you have that feeling where you're like I feel like I can do so much better and like I'm

meant for more I'm just not doing anything about it that's where discipline comes into play because that allows you to actually do the things that you set out to do and the things that you see that you could be doing and you're just not because you might be a little lazy or you know a little wishy-washy indecisive whatever it might be so I feel like I am qualified to talk about this because I had to learn and the last 10 years that I've been working in this industry I had to learn how to work for

myself motivate myself keep myself in line keep doing what I set out to do and it's been a learning experience I wasn't always good at it but I feel like I've gotten to a place now where I think I've got it so these are my best tips the things that really really helped me no like to-do list style this is what you can do and if you like that kind of advice that kind of self-development content I hope you stick around I hope you subscribe if you like this video and check out my social media

also I've got Tik Tok Instagram I'll link it all down below and we can continue these chats across different platforms without further Ado let's get into some of my favorite discipline hacks and tips tip number one you need to change the way you view discipline a lot of us if we're not good at discipline we view it as this like prison sentence like I will be stuck doing something it will be this horrible thing it would be hard it will be difficult and we will chat about the resistance that you start to experience when you

have to you know continue doing something and commit a bit later it's probably the most important part of this video but changing how you view discipline is a huge first step and it really does impact your actions later on so we need to change that negative View to a more positive one and one thing that really worked for me and makes a lot of sense to me is that you view discipline as self-love as an act of self-love and self-respect because you are pulling up for yourself you are not going against your word you are

doing what you set out to do what you promised yourself you will do and that builds confidence I made a whole video about confidence and this was one of my tips like if you want to be confident start doing the things you set out to do because imagine someone invites you somewhere they tell you to invite someone and you have to be on time you're going to bring Sarah let's say because you are confident that Sarah will show up on time she's done it so many times before that you're confident that you can rely on

her for that you trust that she will show up on time and that is what you need to build for yourself and the more you do it the more your relationship with yourself improves the more you trust yourself the more confident you become and the more you can replicate that in other areas of your life like oh I was able you know to pull up and do the things I set out to do and Achieve what I set out to do in this area obviously I can do that also here because I trust in myself

I believe in myself that I can do it because I've got proof I've done it before if you have trouble with this take a piece of paper your notes app whatever and write down examples like you're like a scientist trying to prove a theory right so when have you been able to really rely on yourself when have you done what you set out to do if it's for yourself for the people around you just write as many examples as possible and how has that made you feel it's probably made you feel a lot more confident

it builds character and you feel powerful like oh I was able to do this I can do it again I've achieved something that feels amazing so refrain discipline from something that's like oh it's like a punishment view it as this is me pulling up for myself this is me building confidence and Trust in myself and the love I have for myself and no one can take that away from you ever step number two make discipline your identity I will give you examples in a second but the reason why this is important is because we as

people act in line with who we think we are and our brain then just finds proof of that everywhere to put it simply your reality is reflected in the way you think and especially in what you believe in so change that identity act as someone who has that identity the more you do it the more it becomes a pattern the more your brain offers you proof everywhere that that is true and then it becomes a belief so let's do an example let's say that what you want to achieve is to become someone who's super fit

and lives a very healthy lifestyle that is something you've always wanted to do you set out to do it a huge part of that will be changing the way you see yourself so that identity so instead of saying I am the healthiest person on Earth I'm super fit you probably don't believe in that your brain is not stupid it goes like that is not true and then it finds proof of why it's not true so choose something that is believable like I am someone who never Skips a workout that is something you can believe in

because you can start to never skip a workout that is a lot easier to achieve than you becoming the healthiest fittest person in the world world you know what I mean then you need to ask yourself who is this version of me that never Skips a workout and really make it as real as humanly possible like what does this version of you believe in what does it think about what are their their daily habits how do they approach their life in general like just really have a full picture and then start acting in that way

another important step is to then reflect that in your reality we're making it so that it's the easiest possible thing for your brain to come up with those clues of like oh this is who we are now and it then becomes a pattern and a belief so make it super easy for yourself that will also make it easier for you to stay on track with it so if you want to be super fit and you're the person who never Skips a work out have your yoga mat and weights in your room surround yourself with people

who are like that if it's not in real life you've got social media you can curate what you see completely create a workout playlist have a section of your closet that's full just workout clothes so make your new reality your environment reflect this new identity and it will be so much easier for you to stay on track and also for your brain to create that pattern and that belief that this is who you truly are now once it becomes a belief it's so much easier because it's your new Norm it's just your reality it's just

what you do I'm sure you've done things in the past or you've learned new things that are now just like it's like nothing it's like breathing like I of course I do that you know what I mean step number three build resilience and learn the art of Catch and Release what that means is something goes wrong you make the wrong decision you think something's going to do so well and it doesn't to put it plainly you fail at something you have to change the way you view those failures and the way you deal with them

because every single successful person that has done something that you admire whatever area of life that is has had to learn that we see their success we see you know the top of the iceberg everything that they've done right all the decisions that have panned out and we usually don't see or hear about you know the climb that it took how they've made some wrong decisions how a lot of the things they've tried haven't worked out and one of the really important things that makes those people as successful as they are is they had to

learn and they got good at not dwelling on those mistakes on those failures learning from them and then taking a more informed step forward and they had to keep doing it and doing it and doing it until something works and of course it sucks to make you know mistakes it's not fun for anyone it's not fun to dwell it's not fun when your mistakes and failures reaffirm those not so nice beliefs you might have about yourself it's normal to experience those feelings but what you need to do instead is look at it again as an

opportunity okay I've took a misstep why did I take that misstep what exactly is it that didn't work out why didn't it work out you learn from it you take that in your again little backpack you leave the dwelling out the door because why are you dragging that weight with you it literally does nothing once you've learned from it you have to accept reality like it is what it is you move with it or you're going to struggle going against it your whole life so take what you've learned put it in your pocket be like

there's nothing else for me to learn here it doesn't help to dwell it's going to drag me down when I'm climbing this next step that's going to be way more informed and you keep taking those steps and you keep learning what works what doesn't and you just get really good at that that's going to help you stay disciplined because a lot of us give up when something doesn't go our way and especially if it reaffirms like a negative belief you might have about yourself and I want to make a whole video about negative core beliefs

let me know if you want that I feel like it's an important topic but it's a pretty big one so it's hard to cover it all in one video so let me know so again it's not a failure it's an opportunity for you to now take a new more informed step and add some more knowledge in that arsenal of yours tip number four clarify your goals and break them down I feel like we've all heard all about the right way to set goals so I'll keep this very brief so your goals need to be very

clear realistic trackable I like the smart method and then your why needs to be more meaningful more emotional so you have to write down what achieving these goals will give you personally also write down what you can give once you achieve those goals how you can be of service whether that's to the people around you to your community To The World At Large that really really helps it to make it more realistic so let's say I want to earn six figures this year what I can write here is I'm going to pay for a course

for my brother because he's always wanted to switch to a different career and he needs a little bit of a push he can't afford it I will gladly do that and it will make me so happy to do that do you see what I mean it obviously can be smaller things it doesn't matter this is just one example but that gives you so much more motivation and that more emotional reason for why you're doing the things that you're doing so again we're making it very easy for you to keep going then you have to break

down your goals so much to the point that it feels easy so I like to work in like shorter increments so I choose 3 months instead of like my yearly goals I have my bigger goals that I want to achieve and then I break them down into 3 months and then I break those down into monthly goals and weekly goals and daily to-do list and all of that once you have those small small steps laid out it feels so much more manageable and you can focus on your next step instead of this huge mountain that

you're facing and you you just feel overwhelmed if you've ever been forced into hiking me all the time because my boyfriend loves it you know what it feels like if you keep focusing on that Peak you're like Jesus Christ this is dragging on so long if you just look at your feet look around where you are and just focus on your next steps it's so much easier and it goes goes by quicker you know what I mean if you have trouble with this imagine this goal and that you have to work towards it this week

so to make it very realistic what is the biggest step you're willing to take to achieve this goal realistically this week and then don't make those steps bigger than that that is like your limit okay so in that way you're creating a schedule for yourself and it's a sustainable schedule sustainable plan that's not going to lead to burnout or to you giving up because of the pressure that you feel because it's just all too much achieving the goals that you set for yourself those bigger goals is challenging in itself you don't have to make your

every step a Monumental hard experience make it manageable for yourself okay okay okay we've made it to what I think is the most important piece of advice in this whole video persist despite the resistance we've already kind of covered this a little bit but I really need to go into detail because I feel like this is so important if you're someone born in this generation gen Z especially you've probably encountered like this new age whether it's spirituality or just the belief system of like your emotions are ruling your life like you feel upset you need

to lay and take care of yourself and that has its place for sure but it can also be really unhealthy and just frankly an excuse so let's get into that so someone who is not disciplined misinterprets the resistance that they're feeling so let's say one of your goals is to become a runner so you're going on a run today that's what you set out to do and you start of course thinking about all the reasons why you shouldn't do it right it's going to be uncomfortable it's going to be so hard I know that 10minute

Mark is going to be unbearable I'm going to have to run past that area where there's a lot of people that's going to be so uncomfortable like you list every single thing that might make it difficult and what you do if you're not disciplined is you make that resistance mean I just shouldn't do it I should just stop doing it or you go a step further and you're like I guess this just not meant for me I guess I'm just not supposed to be a runner I guess that's just not my Sport and if you're

really bad at discipline it means you're really good at this you're really good at misinterpreting resistance you're letting your emotions control you when they should just be a little waving flag your emotions are constantly providing you with information about everything and that information is not always correct just think about the times when you've reacted out of pure emotion in the moment and you've regretted it or you've been able to see another side and you were like oh wait that was the wrong thing to do so when that little flag is being lifted of I have

an emotion it's an alert you need to decide what to do with that information what you're doing now when you're letting your emotions govern your whole life is that flag gets lifted and you're like oh I guess this is uncomfortable it just means I'm not supposed to do it if you're in the self-development or the spiritual New Age World you've heard that your emotions are like a compass what a compass is is not here's the outline of your whole journey this is the start this is the finish this is where you're going to stop to

have a little break blah blah blah blah blah this is the journey it's just like hey girly North is over there that is it there are so many things in life that make us feel uncomfortable that make us not feel good sometimes especially when you're learning something new when you're pushing yourself past a point where you've been before imagine anything like becoming healthier eating healthy losing weight becoming fit learning a new language public speaking putting yourself out there everything will cause you discomfort and to not feel good at some points because you're learning you're going

past where you've been before and again if you're not good at discipline you're amazing at making this resistance this uncomfortable feeling mean that this is not meant for me this is not for me you know I'm just not good at this I just shouldn't do it I'm just going to stop that's what you're making it mean if you keep doing that you will go through life in a very passive way yes you might think positively and do all the visualizations in the world but you will keep waiting on your doorstep for your dreams and goals

and achievements to magically appear and they won't you will keep waiting it won't happen without your action and persistence and even if it did just magically appear how much satisfaction will you get from that the fact that you didn't have to lift a finger you didn't have to challenge your yourself in any way overcome anything it just appeared how amazing will that actually feel if you're being honest with yourself so much of the success you actually want and those deep reasons for why you want to succeed at something is to actually just proof to yourself

that I did this I can do this just to have that oh my God I did it I overcame all these things I worked through all of that I learned all of that I went through that whole journey I did that like that confidence and that inner power and trust in yourself and that growth is what makes it magical it's what makes it all worth it I now have this Financial Freedom this body this health this relationship this whatever because I did all that I made it happen of course all the material things all the

extra fluff is amazing but that's the part that we're actually searching for that's the meaningful part those emotional experiences are what makes success so desirable for us so prove to yourself that you can do it show up for yourself do the things you set out to do keep your own word and your own promises all righty guys that is it for this video I really hope you enjoyed it and found it helpful I hope all of my tips were clear I had a bit of trouble today with just speaking and illustrating my points so I
