Yo, yo yo, what's up, fam, it's your boy Zaiden
Cruz back with another episode of the Dopamine DDOCS, where
we're hacking our brains and rewiring for success. This week's
topic self discipline. Now, I know what you're thinking, Zaden.
That sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. But
trust me on this one. Self discipline is the secret
(00:20):
sauce to unlocking everything you ever wanted, from landing your
dream job to finally mastering that TikTok dance routine. You
want those likes, that sweet validation. Discipline is your BFF. Okay,
let's break it down real talk. We're living in a
world where instant gratification is king, Netflix binges, endless scrolling,
and that dopamine rush every time we get a notification.
(00:42):
It's like our brains are wired to crave the quick fix.
But here's the truth bomb. Building something meaningful takes time, effort,
and yes, some serious self discipline. Five key takeaways to
level up your life. One. Self discipline ain't about being
a robot. It's about making conscious choices that align with
your goals even when your brain screams Netflix. Now, it's
(01:05):
like choosing the healthy salad over that extra slice of pizza.
You know it's good for you, even if your taste
buds are begging to differ. Two. Your phone is your
biggest enemy and your best friend. I'm not saying chuck
your phone in a lake, but seriously, those notifications are
designed to hijack your attention. Mute the unnecessary stuff. Schedule
phone free time, and treat your digital detox like a
(01:27):
hot date with yourself. You'll be surprised how much better
you feel. Three. Goals without action are just daydreams. Ever
heard of that dream board phase? Yeah, I've been there.
But dreams only come true when you put into work.
Set realistic goals, break them down into smaller steps, and
celebrate those winds along the way. Every little victory fuels
(01:49):
your self disciplined muscle. Four. Comparison is the thief of joy. Seriously,
stop comparing yourself to everyone else on Instagram. They're not
living your life, They're just showing you the highlight. Focus
on your own journey, embrace your imperfections, and remember your
worth isn't measured by likes or followers. Five. Embrace the suck.
(02:09):
There will be days when you feel like quitting, days
when motivation is mia and days when self discipline feels
like a mythical creature. But here's the truth. Showing up
even on those bad days is what separates the winners
from the quitters. Now let me tell you about this
absolute legend, Emma Chamberlain. You know her, right, the Queen
of gen z vlogging. She started her channel back in
(02:31):
twenty seventeen, just posting random thoughts in every day shenanigans.
But she was different. She wasn't afraid to be authentically herself,
even when it meant being vulnerable and showing her imperfections.
Her videos were raw, relatable and brutally honest, like that
friend who spills the tea but always knows how to
make you laugh. And that's what resonated with people. Her
(02:52):
self discipline wasn't about perfectly curated content or following trends.
It was about consistently creating something genuine, even when it
felt scary. She poured her heart into her work, built
a community of loyal fans, and now she's a global
superstar with millions of followers, brand deals, and even her
own coffee line. But remember, Emma didn't get there overnight.
(03:14):
She faced rejection, self doubt and the ever present pressure
to keep up. But she kept showing up, kept creating,
and never gave up on her vision. That's what self
discipline is all about. Pushing past your comfort zone, embracing
the grind, and trusting yourself to make it happen. It's
about making choices that align with your goals, even when
it's hard, even when you want to binge watch another
(03:35):
season of that show everyone's talking about. So here's the
mic drop takeaway. Self discipline is the ultimate superpower. It's
not just about willpower or being a good boy girl.
It's about taking control of your life, shaping your future,
and becoming the badass you were always meant to be. Now,
go out there and unleash your inner beast. Stop scrolling,
