Everyone has goals, do you? I really hope you do.
Setting personal goals for yourself should be a part of you for the rest of your life, and you should be taking steps every day to work towards those goals. If you’re not, that’s a waste of a day. And if that pattern continues, how many days are you willing to waste? A week? A month? A year?
No matter what your goals are whether they’re physical, mental, financial, scholarly or whatever they are, you being purposeful in taking the steps every day to achieve those goals shows discipline.
Not everyone in this world has discipline, it’s a very mentally difficult thing to harvest within yourself and takes a lot of time to develop. But showing up for yourself daily can help you achieve that.
Being disciplined helps you grow mental toughness and resilience.
You don’t want to do something, but you do it anyway? That’s tough.
You’re having negative thoughts about something, but you choose to think positively anyway? That’s tough.
You have excuses to not do something, but you’re choosing to work around them? That’s tough.
Keep continuing to show up for yourself and what you want to achieve, even through all of the obstacles life throws at you. When the universe doesn’t offer you much we have to continue to make lemonade out of lemons. Fight back. Show this universe that it does not make you, but that you make up your universe. You have all of the materials that you need to achieve your goals at the tips of your fingers, so why are you not taking advantage of that?
Discipline won’t only help you achieve your goals, it will also help increase your productivity immensely. I used to have the worst attention span, I couldn’t work on assignments or projects for more than 15 minutes at a time without needing a break or it would take me forever to start something and I would just sit on my phone while my computer was open. But now I’m able to recognize that I need to get something done and I set a mental due date for myself and I can get it done easily without needing any breaks.
It will also help improve your time management. It may sound a little psycho, but I have every hour of the day planned out for me daily in my Notes app. If I didn’t have it written down I would have a tough time knowing what I’m supposed to be doing everyday. But keeping this planner with me helps me stay on track to working towards my goals because I am making time for them, while also managing everything else in my life.
Discipline helps you to improve all of these mental skills, which in return helps you physically. When you are at your best mentally it will show on the outside. Like I state in the title of today’s post; Discipline is sexy. Keep working towards those goals and the confidence will continue to stream in.
