🗝 The Link Between Discipline & Self-Trust
Motivation gets you started.
Discipline keeps you going.
Discipline isn’t punishment; it’s self-respect in action. It’s choosing what’s meaningful over what’s easy, over and over, until it becomes second nature.
Let's break it down into 4 steps:
1️⃣ Commit: to doing the thing! The road to hell is paved with good intentions, so intending to do the thing is not enough. Yes, set the intention, make the plan, schedule the thing...then commit to getting it done!
2️⃣ Courage: Believe that you can start the thing, even if you don't know how it will pan out or how to complete all the steps. Then go do the thing...even if it's a start. The only way to finish something is to start it.
3️⃣ Competence: Do the thing, get the feedback, get better the more you do! We don't learn by thinking, certainly not by analysis paralysis...we learn by doing. True knowing follows the doing.
4️⃣Confidence: Every time you keep a promise to yourself, you deposit trust into your self-confidence bank. And self-trust is where true confidence lives.
💬 Your Turn: What’s one promise you’ll keep to yourself every day this week? Bank that confidence because you're worth it!!
