Some days, discipline feels effortless. On other days, it’s a battle to get moving. But success isn’t about constantly feeling motivated—it’s about having the right strategies to push forward, even when discipline wavers.
Here are three simple ways to reset and get back on track:
- Go For A Walk – Walking, especially in nature, boosts creative thinking and problem-solving, changes our current mental state to a new one, we get ourselves “unstuck,” and execution can continue.
- Engage Trusted Friends/Mentors – Engage with successful, intelligent, motivated friends and mentors. You can leverage this group of people to pull yourself out of temporary lapses in discipline.
- Focus on Getting a Small Win – We all know getting started is the hardest part. If discipline is slipping, it is okay to go for a small win and build from there.
Getting started is always the most challenging part. Instead of forcing your way through resistance, find a small win—something quick and achievable that gives you momentum. One small action leads to another, and discipline is back in control before you know it.
The key to discipline isn’t perfection—it’s learning how to reset and keep moving forward. What’s one small win you can take today? Hit reply and let me know.
