682: 5 Ways to Have More Discipline in Your Life (Mindset & Self-Care)
Manage episode 478651779 series 3012633
Discipline and freedom go hand in hand - implementing structure in your life can unlock creativity, joy, and long-term success.
As entrepreneurs, we can have all the goals, dreams, and good intentions in the world, but without discipline, none of it matters. Lately, I’ve been reading The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin, and one section on discipline really stopped me in my tracks. It reminded me that discipline isn’t about restriction - it’s about creating the freedom to do what we truly love. Let’s dive into five ways you can build more discipline into your life!
Action Plan:
1 - Define Your Non-Negotiables: Get clear on what absolutely must happen in your business and life - treat these like brushing your teeth, no excuses.
2 - Create a System, Not Just a Goal: Goals are great, but systems are what keep you moving forward - set up routines that make discipline automatic.
3 - Time Block Like a Pro: Structure your schedule intentionally, dedicating specific time blocks to deep work, content creation, and rest.
4 - Eliminate Decision Fatigue: Simplify daily choices by meal prepping, pre-planning content, and having a structured to-do list to conserve mental energy.
5 - Use Rewards and Consequences: Give yourself incentives to stay on track, whether it’s a coffee treat for completing tasks or a consequence for missed deadlines.
