“Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.” ~Lou Holtz

Thank you!
I consider myself very disciplined. I’ve been leading a vegan lifestyle for the last 5yrs. One thing I could do to get better is meal prep more often so that I’m not eating out or reaching for junk food when I’m hungry.
I think I am a pretty discipline person, especially with my school work. One thing that I can improve on is making a schedule, usually I have one in my head, but I never take the time to actually write it down, that could help me a lot.
Quinn, making and keeping to a schedule is a good idea.
I’m definitely more disciplined with somethings than others. But what always helps me is writing things down. If I write it down and make a step-by-step plan these are always the things I’m most likely to succeed in.
I consider myself disciplined. I am willing to go through hardship to get better, and challenge myself on a regular basis.
As the beautiful quote above says, ‘Winners embrace hard work’ I am proud to say that I have grown to embrace hard work and no longer consider hard work as a punishment.
I have also stopped being ‘annoyed’ with many things because annoyance almost always comes with a complaint.
One big thing that I can do to build my self discipline is identifying the habit that triggers me going to sleep or deciding to stay up. Once I find the trigger, I can shape my environment to adjust around that.
I honestly believe that once i rid myself of the distraction of Youtube, and sleep early and wake up early, then I will be able to do some really amazing things and grow quickly as well as efficiently. This is because those are my only real distractions I have identified right now.
I am a pretty self disciplined person in my health goals and maintaining my emotional and spiritual joy. I need to improve on my ability to not feel compelled to do things for people who do not appreciate it. If I did not cause the problem, cannot control or cure the problem, I need to remember not to get caught up in the problem.
I do struggle with it sometimes but for the most part I am self disciplined. One thing I could do to improve it is making a schedule
I find I am like April. I am very disciplined about somethings. My book club meets once a month and I have not missed a meeting in 14 years. I think the interest helps to make me disciplined.
I do consider myself disciplined in certain categories. I am very disciplined with my job. Focused and extremely hard working. I am not always disciplined in my self care. Definitely working on improving that.
I struggle a little bit with discipline. I can be disciplined for periods of time but then I can Slowly start to fall off. I’m still trying to figure out what to do to change that
I consider myself discipline. Although sometimes I struggle and start to get sloppy. One thing that can help me stay disciplined is writing my tasks down or creating a schedule.
I consider myself someone who is working on discipline daily but it feels like a never ending battle. One thing that I can do to improve my self discipline is improve my time management skills more. I have come a long way with my time management but I can always do better.
Self discipline for me is mental, if I can start doing something like working out I would usually finish. So I’m usually pretty well disciplined and something I could improve would have to be dieting and better scheduling of my time. I believe creating extra time for activities will allow me to always be prepared.
I’d say that I am disciplined when it comes to certain things like work and play. I’d like to be more disciplined when it comes to time-management, getting rid of debt and completing specific projects. To increase my level of discipline, I can employ the strategies detailed in Atomic Habits (e.g., The 1% Rule).
This clip resonated with me. Figuring out that North Star is a process in itself. While I agree with it in spirit – finding your passion, what it will take to get there, then actioning your life in support of that passion – makes the needed discipline much easier. But in reality, life is much more complex and creating a disciplined life will require developing habits to do things that you might struggle to connect with the relationship to your achieving your North Star., Discipline starts in the mind – removing the negativity in your thinking, creating habits that reflect a life of purpose. I am starting there – creating the space to be able to think, reflect, meditate with disciplined daily walks.
