1. Less is more

Understood that more fulfillment comes from less desire. As you gradually and slowly build brick by brick on anything you find meaning in, you will start noticing that it gets harder and harder, especially if you are trying to build something beyond mediocrity. Prioritize and identify the key few things that are truly necessary for a sturdy foundation and the rest can be banished!

2. The Law of Compounding

This concept is very similar to what I have written in my previous section 2 years back on Focus & Willpower. To sum it up on how this ties in with discipline is that first you need to gradually grow into it, everything begins when you have the intention of just starting it. Like how -Nike quotes “Just Do IT!” but once you have began exerting the new habits you will start instilling it into the subconscious mind that you are striving towards an end goal by taking action and that will program your muscle memory to execute, execute & execute until it is seamlessly effortless.

3. Understand yourself

Sometimes the reason you are undisciplined goes down to your belief system, the principles you live by and how it was programmed. The simple fact is that, 99% of the population are just drifters…. gravitating towards the next gratification. Once you identify the core purpose of why you started and truly believe in the reason why you started is authentic to you. Well then discipline is very simple.

4. Sever the distractions

Out of sight, out of mind. Most of the time your brain is being taxed since the minute you wake up in the… what ever time you call morning. Well little do you know that sometimes just keeping a very straight and narrow path towards simplicity is your big key to discipline. Less things to manage equals more energy to focus on managing yourself and not letting things manage you.

5. Dopamine Detox

Man oh man, who would have brought up this idea. This is probably the biggest cure to the society we live in today, as we are being dragged from apps to apps, day to day from relationships, ideas to people. If you consume anything, I mean anything… even to the necessities like food. There is just so much sauce and options that fires neurons in our brains asking for more more! What we need to do is filter all inputs to the atoms, and what is really necessary shall stay, the rest shall perish. This my friend is the beginning to discipline.

6. Reward system

A reward system allows you to be discipline & stay discipline. The reason why you need to set a reward system is, because you will drift off the path since your brain is always firing neurons in search of the next “1’s” to satisfy the gratification, What you shall need is that you will know when to allow your brain to get the next inputted 1 by completing/ staying disciplined to your objective. aka the bone to the dog after rolling over. YAY!!!

7. Forgive & Forget

Take a minute and say to yourself that “what didn’t kill you makes you stranger.”Stranger? right ya got that off the Joker from Batman, but long story short is that you have to let go of all failures that has flowed into memory. End of the day it created you as you. So take it as a learning experience & evolve fammo.

8. The grass is not greener on the other side

Many people tell you these days the grass is greener on the other side. Or how half these social media “influencer” claim to portray. No lie, I was caught up in the whole trance myself, but nope it ain’t green on the other side. Matter in fact there is no damn grass, so what is left now… yes you guessed it DIRT! Ya you got just you as a gardener to plant the seeds and that is the first step, now how discipline is played into this role is you have to be consistently watering it accordingly, not to much — not to little. Just right, now do that again and again.. Again! Now that is just how one may be disciplined.

9. Routines

Have a very precise habitual system you can live by, title that as your “BiggerPIctureLifestyle” now I want you to reorganize yourself and make sure it is what you want. Once you start, it might be to late to turn around. Keep at it, follow the routine until it is programmed subconsciously.

10. “You either have a Milly Dolla or a Milly Excuses”

Title says it all so pick your poison. If money is the driving factor for you, then know no discipline equals no dinero. Just realize you working at a J-O-B is discipline written all over, but if you want to boss up. Then you channel that same disciplined energy into a different vehicle.

Hopes these 10 tips being disciplined inspired you to change for the better, good luck to all your goals and success. Next time you complete something impactful, remember a light whisper I stated in the distance “Good Job Executing Accordingly”
