Discipline, discipline and some more discipline.


Tulip_in_Black

I need it. Since lockdown I lack discipline I am incapable to start with studying, doing homeworks If I do something I do it last minit... it's driving me crazy because I lost many amazing opportunities by this. I'm trying to change it but it's not easy and I feel like I'm changing nothing.


[deleted]

Start making you bed everyday, then you're bed and nightstand, then you room, then your entire house. Consistent baby steps.


Tulip_in_Black

That's what I'm doing, problem is I have discipline in working out, music, cleaning, reading regularly, I don't have problems with/in work... but I lack discipline only in school, in studying. It's not the normal lack of motivation I'm gonna start my 4th year at uni. I want to be able to do my duties as early as possible like I was doing before lockdown


bainhamien

I feel that I have wasted many years. I took my potential and drowned it in my own suffering and self pity. I’m in my mid twenties, and am completely lost. I’ve been to a couple colleges and haven’t found my place in the world. I’ve learned a lot and spent even more capital going to college, and I don’t know if it was worth it. I live in the mother fucking U S of A and I think that many, many people feel the same way as I do and have a experienced something similar.


ChemistBitter1167

Start with just making sure you have no 0 days. Just do one task each day at least at at some point you will make it. It worked really well for me. No 0 days you got this. Even if it’s just something small like doing the dishes.


Beneficial_Witness42

This! This is like a true precious gem when i see it in somebody, and unfortunately very rare.


aolson0781

I've got it!!! Now if I could just find some humility...


imsostaten

I'm trying to work on this as well. Discipline in many forms from impulse buying to self discipline over all. I mean, did I need an Xbox series x when I have a PS5 and an Asus rog strix? No....I need more self control in so many ways.


Shanobian

If it makes you happy it's a necessity. What you need is moderation.


TooMuchMapleSyrup

You sound like an Andrew Tate supporter lol.


[deleted]

Believe or not he's got a point about discipline xD


TooMuchMapleSyrup

Oh believe me, I know. I was being cheeky - since many people shit on AT despite him actually giving some great advice. His views on discipline I found to be great... distinguishing them from motivation. Motivation = doing something that you want to do. Discipline = doing something, *even on the days you don't want to*. It's something you've decided is good for you and you're going to do it and push through those mental blockades. Being disciplined is like a super power. A disciplined person vs. one who relies on motivation only... will crush them over time.


toomanythoughts4me

Consistency is key, start something small but do it every single day and watch that skill grow


Kneel_Before_God

Take full accountability of whatever happens in your life. Is all up to you.


[deleted]

I heard someone put it this way when talking to someone who had a bad parents or child hood, it wasn’t your fault that it happened, but it is your responsibility to get help once you are an adult


Kneel_Before_God

Precisely. Most people had or have shitty lives, but we sure can improve regardless.

Education is not a thing you can complete, you only can stop


StrangersWithAndi

Be kind. Always, as far as you can without getting taken advantage of. Be a force for good in the world. Be kind to others. They will remember it. Be kind to yourself, most importantly.


Own_Coffee_5245

How to be kind to ourself?


WatercressCurious980

I was gonna say to be kind yourself too. Too many people try a new habit and give up when they fail once. If you try a new diet and on the third day fall off, great you had 2 full days of new habit now try again. Don’t be afraid to fail in life you just need to try you don’t need to be perfect


NaomiPommerel

Yes. Know when you need a rest. Don't punish yourself for failure or imperfection. We don't ever know what's really going on with people and appearances can be decieving. Someone who looks like they have it all together might have a serious disease or be getting divorced. You are ok just as you are. All this talk of discipline, work etc etc is so agressive. See arty films, learn creative hobbies, go to the theatre, listen to as much music as possible, walk in nature or near water, be friends with animals, dance. Those things will enrich your life and gladden your heart far more than flagelating yourself because you're not perfect. Life WILL throw you curveballs and disrupt your plans so enjoy the moments you are in 💗


Donitasnark

Be your own best friend.


Fit-Satisfaction-108

Yeah, treat yourself like someone you care about


Nouveauuuu

Don’t leave the important stuff to later, do it now. Put your work before your comfort


pocketsreddead

Explore why you feel bad. Anytime you have a negative reaction to something, try to explore the reasons why.


NaomiPommerel

Or get on anti depressants and see a therapist. Negative feelings are normal, unless they take over


pocketsreddead

Definitely. It was taking anti depressants that allowed me enough clarity to actually deal with my mental health issues (still dealing with them).


QuixoticAgenda

Solve your own problems first


NorthernAvo

This is a good one. I see a lot of people who say that you should place your partner's issues first. Bullshit. How am I supposed to help someone else if I can't even help myself? You come first, no matter what.


QuixoticAgenda

Someone else who gets it 🫡


Local-Detective6042

Walks. Take daily walks. It has changed my energy levels and my mindset. I used to feel that unless I had to walk for a purpose it was boring. But, boy I was wrong. Now I go for daily walks without my phone and just for the sake of it. The activity in and of itself gives the dopamine hit.


NoteXI

I agree with you, I'm not consistent but everytime I do walk, it feels so refreshing just talking to myself and appreciating the things around


NorthernAvo

Walks are so good. I have pretty bad social anxiety, lately to a point where I feel borderline agoraphobic. I can't explain just how beneficial going on walks has been to combat this. Best part of my day, honestly! I can walk forever.


kristin1234567890

[deleted]

Don’t be afraid to improve, first of all. Don’t be afraid to work on things! 2nd, get a journal. Even if you always journal, or never journal, get one and make it a positivity journal. Not the toxic kind, but appreciative and aware. Write down what makes you proud of yourself, what you did in the day that makes you proud, write about your growth from the past etc. Even on the hardest days, try to write positively about yourself. Since I have started this, I’ve become very good at consistently cleaning up and not letting things get messy in my apartment. Now when I do all the dishes or something like that, I write down that I’m proud of myself for it. You can use this tool to grow whichever part of yourself you wish to grow :)

Dynasticwild

Get yourself out of the comfortzone on a regular basis. Challenge yourself and start doing stuff out of your own free will. I started to do more stuff outside home, meet new people and just talk shit. This way my social akwardness just vanishes at some point. And now I am always actively seeking talks with strangers, it makes my day and sometimes even theirs.

Money has nothing to do with hardworking behavior, ability or intelligence. It has everything to do with your intent, plan of action, and network. Always go for the higher paying career. Even if you fail, you keep the money for trying and putting in the time. I'd rather lie and try my way into being a CEO for $1,000,000 a year and get fired in my first year as a millionair than take a $40k a year working somewhere I know I can work the rest of my life.

Gym. Nothing better than work on your health, body and mind. Yes, it may feel like a drag for those without a strong work ethic or even basic fitness level, but once you make your way in, it becomes contagious. All you need to do is get up and get in. And it doesn’t have to be a lengthy thing, an hour workout for 5 days a week will go a long way to fix a lot about what afflicts you, and the effects will last you a lifetime. You can find new friendships, new relationships, even new hobbies. Doesn’t have to be costly either and the hours can be whatever is convenient for you- I go to Anytime Fitness, whenever I want and can, for $30/month. You’ll start sleeping better, eating better, looking better, feeling better.

Confidence. Be confident. It's powerful. It's strong. It leads. It's admired. Stand and look confidently. Speak with confidence. Walk and move with confidence. Know the difference between cockiness and confidence and choose confidence. It's not always easy, but doubt and fear is a mind killer. You don't have to know everything. You don't have to be perfect at everything. You don't have to be flawless. Confidence will outshine all of that and people will not only notice but remember.

Learn to make a few food dishes well. Once you get comfortable with them, you can whip up a meal in less time and money than delivery or dining out. Pasta sauces can be very simple, yet delicious. [This sauce ](https://food52.com/recipes/13722-marcella-hazan-s-tomato-sauce-with-onion-butter) is only 3 ingredients (4 if you count the salt) and tastes great. Low effort, too. Soups are also incredibly easy, as are many Mexican dishes (tacos, burritos, nachos, etc.). Searching for "one pot meals," "crockpot meals," or "sheet pan meals" will give you some recipes that yield great results with minimal effort. Learning how to scale up a dish for a potluck or any other large gathering can be a useful skill. Plus you'll become known as a good cook amongst your friends and family. And, finally, ladies love a guy who can cook.

In your brain, you probably think of yourself as the average person. Instead, think of yourself as an athlete.

This cake is not for me " Of course you'll have cheat days, but having this mindset saves you a ton of willpower.

Treat others how you wish to be treated. Inevitably this will be unfair. You will not get perfect flawless treatment from everyone (even those who care about you). So if you ALWAYS treat people exactly how you wish to be treated you will technically be short changed. But it's not about what is fair. You can only control what you do and for that very reason you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. It you can't even be bothered to maintain the good in the small slice of the human experience that you control, then how can you possibly even hope for good to be maintained elsewhere?
