The Secret To Monk-Like Discipline
Self-discipline is always a function of one’s willpower.
The secret to self-discipline is exerting your willpower over your emotions, every single time.
You have to develop it.
How do you develop self-discipline?
By not doing indiscipline.
If you don’t do indiscipline, you do discipline.
By deploying what you do and how you do it — you develop discipline.
Here are some of the effective ways to develop self-discipline:
Resist Impulses:
- Resist ALL impulses to check social media
- Resist all impulses of automatic habits
- Resist all impulses to buy something
- Resist all impulses to grab a snack
- Resist all impulses to switch tasks
Be Organized At All Times:
- Keep yourself clean
- Keep the mess out of your life
- Keep your desk, room, house, laptop, etc. clean & organized
Stick To A Plan:
- Plan your days/weeks/months in advance
- Be deliberate & stick to that plan
- Say no to anything that isn’t a part of that plan
Be Persistent:
- Don’t give in to drama
- Don’t give in to the fear of failure
- Don’t waver in what you want to do
- Don’t give in to emotions (they are temporary)
Endure Pain:
- Confront difficulties
- Take up challenges
- Love the pain that comes from not giving in
- Don’t try to dodge the discomfort, in fact seek it
- Confront difficulties that arise from the struggle
- Really endure the pain that arises from resisting day to day impulses
If you practice these simple yet powerful principles daily (religiously), there’s nothing that can stop you.
You will strengthen your willpower, build powerful habits & be in full control of yourself & your behaviour.
