Your expectations of discipline might be the problem

Today will present you with decision-making moments — hundreds of them.

What to do. How to do it. Where to go. How to respond. It's your choice to bring discipline to each moment or not. Discipline will not be your constant companion because you've established some magic habit.

You must activate discipline by choice. If you don't make the self-aware decision to act with discipline in this moment and the next, then you will discover discipline is frustratingly inconsistent.

Discipline is an active decision you make in the moment, not a habitual routine. Routines exist. You can bring discipline to them. But discipline itself is not a routine. Discipline is what you bring to a routine like you bring discipline to a decision, action, or conversation.

The core of discipline is harnessing your decision-making power in any given moment and directing it according to your will, purpose, or objective. That's the aim of the game with discipline.

Don't expect discipline to show up on its own. Bring it with you everywhere you go. 

The time is now. Do the work.
