Why You Need Discipline, NOT Motivation

#18. In today’s world there’s not only pressure to show up— but to always do so feeling your best (and with a matching workout set, of course). In this episode, Ari & Kate discuss the importance of discipline in a culture obsessed with “self-care.” Hint: we don’t totally agree.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The concept of “planners live the dream” and how it led to Green-ish
• How self-care breeds complacency
• What it means to “learn your medicine” and how the concept has helped Ari & Kate heal
• The science of the “dopamine detox” and why it’s the key to your productivity breakthrough
• How to be disciplined with waking up early (hint: it involves... Sean Kingston?)
• The “Ella Enchanted” effect to stop overthinking
• How to be disciplined with your needs in a relationship
• Our current favorites (protein powder, songs, up-and-coming brands, recipes, etc.)
