Maybe you are going and growing through something hoping to come out of the other side soon. Coming out on the other side will take conscious discipline, and you may have to start over and rebuild your consistency and values. “The work works when you do the work.” Conscious discipline is what is going to help you daily. It will keep you from the start-and-stop mentality.
Strategies for conscious discipline
- Have a vision. Make a vision board. Set intentions and have statements that will keep you in the right direction. To create your image, you need to have a vision of what you don’t want. This allows you to have passion, purpose, and direction to focus on and keep moving toward what you want. Sit, feel, reflect and move.
When you are clear on your vision, you know where you want to go and where you do not. Decide what you aren’t returning to and what you will say yes or no to because it isn’t serving you. It will light a fire in your soul. Get a mentor or a coach that will land you on fire. Go after what you want.
- Have consistent daily activities that are non-negotiable. Nutrition, exercise, drinking water, and sleep. How are you managing your energy? Set intentions the night before. This forces you to get up and do what you are supposed to do and eliminates the excuses. Act as if your life depends on it because it does.
Embrace the “no matter what” mentality. Do not sleep on your dreams, and be proactive. Motivation is not just going to appear. You have to work at it. Reach outside your comfort zone because that is where the magic happens.
- The result of the daily activities shows confidence and helps you to motivate yourself. It helps you not to return to the way you were. The motivation comes from your daily actions that will become habits as you move forward. Take action that will produce results. Celebrate your wins and accomplishments. This is evidence that you are moving in the right direction. Pivot if you need to remain on task.
It is hard, and you may fail. Anything is possible if you have the vision, take action and see your results. Discipline is complex, and the brain wants to quit. Stay focused and keep pushing yourself. Motivation will come from the evidence you see in your accomplishments.
Takeaway: The Power of Conscious Discipline
Conscious discipline is hard and takes work, but it is needed to have a successful life. It requires you to have non-negotiable activities that you complete daily, no matter what. Following recommended strategies can help you achieve your daily results and ultimately help you to have a better life.
