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.
