Why Self Discipline is So Difficult

In this video we delve into the heart of why maintaining healthy habits and good discipline can often feel like an uphill battle.

We examine the 'muscle' of self-discipline and how, like any skill, it can be trained and improved over time.

This isn't just another how-to video — it's a candid look at the essence of self-discipline and its undeniable role in crafting a successful and fulfilling life.

"Motivation is fleeting and unreliable, but habits are lasting" This is something I've always taken to heart. After going to the gym at the same time for 5 years I feel off and weird if I don't go.

Discipline is the highest form of self love.

“Once you’ve started something, it’s difficult to stop”, I’ve been literally doing my best for 10 years now, sustaining focus is not possible for more than a couple of hours. I like writing but when the day goes on I struggle to do anything productive other than sleep or think about neuroscience.

Man I love your videos. You always drop a video when I find myself going through the process of becoming better. Keep them coming!

One of the best videos I've ever seen on self-discipline. It was only 9 minutes but it took me an hour to watch because it had so many good points I was constantly pausing and taking notes.

Thank you! I really needed this; I've been dejunking, and it's hard to continue sometimes. This is some encouragement to keep going!

I need to learn how to control myself better to discipline myself. I need to understand more about self-discipline to achieve it.

Dopamine is everywhere nowadays, I would highly recommend dopamine fasting every once in a while.

For me, it's more reading, and doing more push-ups, and planks lol

...figure if Im not telling my goals, directly, then it will actually start to come into fruition, through reverse psychology ;)

Because most people lack boundaries. I personally get annoyed with people who lack them and it forces me to let go of mine to tell them to go away 😂

It ain’t that difficult in my opinion… now here’s the math on the subject

Strong mindset + strong sense of self = self discipline & determination

Weak mindset + low opinion of oneself = less to no self discipline & low motivation

If you ain’t got a strong mindset then go get one as it’s within all of us to govern our own wants and desires and to not settle for anything less than what we deserve.. and that’s the best of what this beautiful life has to offer us..

Just tell yourself what you wish to become then do everything within you power to become it

Simples !!!

That there be my take on this thought provoking subject..

Thank you… Art of Improvement !

Ttfn;)

If the idea of bringing joy to your future self seems a little too remote, just think how pleased you are when your past self set up your programmable coffee maker last night so it was already brewed for you this morning. And that's just for you making you a cup of coffee.

Discipline & forming habits with severe ADHD… like walking on a treadmill & someone repeatedly places a rake in front of you so you’re smacked in the face intermittently. But you can’t get off the treadmill. 😬
