When discipline feels intimidating, it's a sign that your perspective has become distorted. You will discover confident paths, faster progress, and reliable results by adjusting how you see discipline. You will also feel the benefit of having overcome what once felt intimidating. The main challenge is not finding a good strategy. The challenge is shifting your mindset and beliefs about discipline.
The stories you tell yourself shape the actions you take, the actions you avoid, and how you go about it. Tell yourself that discipline is rigid and boring, and you will avoid it. Tell yourself that discipline is strength and power, and you will lean into it. See discipline as a forced burden, and you will quit. See discipline as a worthy challenge, and you will fight.
Change your lens. Change your story. Change your feelings. Change your actions.
Discipline is not a test of your compliance but of the make-up of your character. It's a test of who and what is in control of you. Confront any hidden beliefs limiting your willingness to embrace discipline. Don't shrink away from this. Don't flinch. Confront them head on.
Discipline is how you unlock your potential and prove yourself. Refuse to let your feelings about discipline stand in the way of that. Let no self-imposed barrier block you from the actions that lead to excellence. Master your mind, and you will master discipline.
Brick by brick. Do the work.
