"With self-discipline, anything is possible." Theodore Roosevelt
Tired of procrastinating or scattering your time?
If you have difficulty keeping your commitments and getting organized, you will need to develop self-discipline through regularity, consistency, diligence and repetition.
Self-discipline, which attests to an inner strength, works like a muscle: the more you train it, the more it develops.
But it also requires a healthy lifestyle.
Here's how to make it easier to reach your your goals with self-discipline:
- Start with an introspective work to define your motivations and objectives as well as the obstacles that block you.
- Define SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound) objectives.
- Find sources of inspiration (family, friends, colleagues, inspirational people) and learn from their experiences.
- Prioritize your tasks and get organized.
- Track the progress of your actions and reward your efforts.
- Have a stimulating environment, conducive to self-discipline: remove all distractions, develop a healthy social environment...
- Stay positive despite the ups and downs.
- Learn to regulate your emotions so you don't let them influence you anymore.
However, be careful not to confuse self-discipline with self-enclosure.
Self-discipline requires flexibility. You will need to find the right balance.
