How Do We Build Self-Discipline?

Discipline is like the gym. We need resistance to grow, and that growth will depend on the resistance we apply. We should start small, make your bed, do the laundry, tidy your room, read a page, don’t eat that chocolate bar, walk at lunch, put down your phone, go to bed earlier, wake up earlier etc. 

Any time we feel the little voice within calling us to resist an action or validate a decision not to do something, this is an opportunity to develop resilience. That is the resistance you need to grow.

Once we’re aware of it, we can notice it.

When we notice it, we can catch it.

When we catch it, we can use it as a tool for growth.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.
