first into something that can make or break your journey
towards achieving your goal's building disciplined habits, ever feel like
you're constantly battling with motivation, only to find yourself back
at square one after a few days. I get it
to trust me, we all have those moments where the
couch seems way more appealing than heading a gym or
tacking that project we've been putting off. But here is
(00:22):
the thing. Discipline isn't about wholper alone. It's about creating
systems and habits that make success almost effortless. Think of
it like this. Your brain is wired for efficiency. It
loves to take shortcuts, autopilot through routines, and conserve energy.
So instead of relying on fleeting bursts of motivation, we
can hack our brains by building habits that become automatic.
(00:44):
These are the real game changes, the daily actions that
compound over time, leading you curser to your big dreams. Now,
before we dive into the how to, let's be clear.
Building discipline isn't about becoming some Regie robot who follows
a struct schedule to the letter. It's about finding sustainable
approach that works for you, one that feels manageable and enjoyable,
not like another chore on. You're already overflowing to do list.
(01:07):

this whole discipline thing. Versely, start small, think tiny winds
instead of trying to overhold your entire life overnight. Pick
one habit you want to focus on something that genuinely
matters to you. Maybe it's drinking more water, taking a
ten minute walk each morning, or journaling for five minutes
before bed. Consistency over intensity, folks. Next, make it easy
(01:30):
on yourself. Remove any barriers to success. Want to exercise regularly,
lay out your workout clothes the night before, craving healthier snacks,
stock your fridge with those goodies, and ditch the tent
in junk food. The easier it is to stick to
your chosen habit, the more likely you are to succeed. Thirdly,
link new habits to existing routines. This is a powerful
(01:53):
psychological hack. Want to start meditating, Try doing it right
after brushing your teeth in the morning. To read more,
keep a book by your bedside and make it part
of your winding. Damn routine before bed. By associating your
new hat with something you already do, you create a
mental trigger that makes it automatic. Fourfully celebrate those winds.
(02:14):
Don't underestimate the power of positive reinforcement. When you hit
a milestone, acknowledge it. Treat yourself to something small and meaningful,
a delicious cup of coffee, a relaxing bath, or a
chapter in your favorite book. This keeps you motivated and
reinforces the positive cycle of habit building. Finally, remember that
setbacks are part of the journey. We're human, not robots.
(02:36):
There will be days when motivation dips, life throws curve
of balls and you miss a day or two. That's okay,
don't beat yourself up about it. Just pick yourself back up,
dust yourself off, and get back on track. Consistency is key,
but it doesn't mean perfection every single day. Okay, let's
bring this to life with a real world example. Imagine
(02:56):
