SELF DISCIPLINE IS A FORM OF SELF LOVE.

So I've been getting some questions about discipline. and thought I'd share some tips!

So maybe you have the vision? Maybe you have the ambition? You feel like you’ve got the “right” tools to get to the next level, BUT you’re lacking in discipline? Unsurprisingly, this is a problem that MOST people have, so you’re definitely not alone. But is this a club that you really want to be a part of?

Discipline is a skill, and just like any skill, it needs to be practiced and improved upon incrementally. So, do you have a concrete goal? I’ve noticed that there are a lot of vague goals out there (be financially stable or become an influencer). It’s a great place to start, but most people that lack discipline have a habit of getting too far ahead of themselves. They focus on the bigger picture so much that they have no idea how to actually achieve it.

Big ambitions without a clear plan with visible steps, will lead you to give up on yourself before you really try. It’s great to have a starting point, and to know what you want in the end. But it’s up to you to lay every brick. You are your engineer, your investor, your janitor, your ceo, you are everything!

Each day that you try is more practice, and each day that you practice, is more improvement. Your commitment to practicing discipline will pay dividends in the long run, so don’t give up.

Every single thing that you have gone through in your life (every high, every low, and everything in between) has all led you to the moment you’re experiencing right now. I’d like to think that means that you are exactly where you need to be to get to where you want to go. You are always starting from a place of experience.

Start with a simple question: What do you want to change in your life? If you’re a coach, or have worked with a coach, you know how useful the wheel of life can be and how much awareness it can provide regarding your current satisfaction with each dimension of your well-being. So that is where I would recommend you start. Figure out what area needs your attention the most right now. You may be surprised.

In my notes on goal-planning, I started thinking how most people still neglect to show up even when everything is planned out thoroughly. Now, I love preaching about discipline and how THAT is what makes the difference. Intentions and goals alone don’t make positive changes happen, you do.

If you want to change your life, find a way to turn your goal into a daily ritual. That’s the secret sauce If you want to write a book, figure out how much time you can dedicate to it daily. If it’s just 10 minutes, then ok write for 10 minutes a day every day for 30 days. Not seeing enough progress? Bump it up to 15 minutes. Or 20. You get it.

AND PLEASE--I cannot stress this enough--find yourself an accountability partner! Preferably someone that has already done what you want to accomplish! If your only option is your best friend, your mother, your brother, your co-worker, that's okay! As long as they want to see you succeed!

note to self: just because someone did the thing you were thinking about doing, and did it way better than you could ever hope to do, doesn’t mean it would be stupid or pointless to go ahead and try to still do the thing anyway. 

Also, when it comes to creative things? There really is no “better”.

Sure, someone might be more technically accomplished than you - you might not be able to colour as nicely or craft a sentence that rings as poetically - but art is only really secondarily about that. It’s firstmost about what you, uniquely, have to express, and how the precise way you express it might be what others need to relate to it - even if it’s less flashy, less “beautiful”, and gets fewer notes.

I promise you this: there are obscure fanfics with only a handful of notes that are the read-and-re-read favourites of someone too anxious to comment. There are drawings done by 14-year-olds in poorly-blended markers that are someone’s favourite because they spoke to something that nothing else did. There are covers of songs where your voice cracks and you cringe every time you hear it but someone thinks the way it cracked just at that moment added beauty to the song. There are angsty three-line poems you wrote at 4am that someone once called “pretentious emo trash” that are loved by someone else going through the same thing as you.

And I guarantee you, there is something unique about your art. Even if you’re “saying something someone else has said”. Even if you’re the thousandth person to take on the subject. Even if you feel like you’re not at all unique. You’re bound to express something, however subtle, that didn’t exist until then.

Art is about connection. And the more you create, the more chance you have of finding other people who experience the world the way you do.

The “two cakes” theory of content production. 

It was only yesterday that I was lamenting thing I no longer felt allowed to do because someone had done similar.   I ought to read this post daily.  Maybe twice daily.

Art is about connection. And the more you create, the more chance you have of finding other people who experience the world the way you do.

“But if multiple people do the same thing then it’s not unique” -> how do you think art movements were made? A bunch of artists all did the same thing in their own ways and we praise them for that.

How to be Genuine in Relationships

1. Try to be as natural as you can when you’re with others. Just be “you”. Don’t put on a false self and try to be someone you’re not. Accept your flaws and imperfections – as everyone has them anyway!

2. Listen carefully when others are speaking. Give them your full and undivided attention. And really listen when other people are speaking: don’t just act as if you’re interested in them.

3. If you say or do something that’s inept or stupid, then be the first to laugh at yourself. Also, don’t blame others if you do something wrong – you’ll be much more respected if you say that it was you.

4. Be quick to notice and to show appreciation for other people, and what they do for you. Also, notice their successes and the things that they do well, and praise them openly, so others know as well. (But don’t usually flattery as it sounds insincere.)

5. Be honest (but tactful) when you’re asked for your opinion. That sends the message that you usually speak the truth.

6. Look for ways that you can help other people, as genuine people are sensitive and caring. As a side effect, it will likely boost your mood – and others will be drawn by your inner happiness.

Such a great motivational book. Relentless by Tim Grover.

The Law of Attraction Technique More Powerful Than Visualizing:

What is it? Re-writing or imagining the day as you wished it had been. Every incident and conversation.

Where did it come from? Neville Goddard, a mystic teacher who taught in Los Angeles and New York in the 1950s, was the first to understand and apply the technique of revision.

How do I do it? In your mind recall the day from when you woke up. Make each incident conform to your ideal wishes. So, if you woke to a loud bang from the neighbour above, you would change that to seeing that you woke peacefully. If you received a letter with disappointing news, mentally read the letter you wished you had read instead! Imagine all your bills were paid. Imagine he/she didn’t snap at you, but infact helped you. Imagine that phone call you’ve been waiting for. Imagine you had a sense of peace that never left you today. Imagine you had more than enough time, money and energy left over at the end of the day! And either see this in your mind or write it out. The essential point is to feel the reality of what you wished had happened.

Why does it work? Neville Goddard said revision allows you to radically change your attitude to your present circumstances and to the world. And to the degree you can change your attitude, the world around you will change to reflect that.

What are the benefits? •It is similar to mindfulness meditation because it helps remove the residue of stress that builds up daily. •It helps you press Pause on the negative flow if you are in one. •It enhances your mental faculties of imagination and willpower as you imagine what you’d like •It helps you believe you are more in control of your life than you know.

Examples: •A woman that saw a hat she wanted but couldn’t afford, imagined she had it and was later gifted the exact same hat. •A boss that was hard to work with for 11 years, became more appreciative of his employer overnight, praising her design skills. All the designer did that morning was imagine on her walk to work that her boss was with her the whole commute, praising her. •A young person imagined a tax refund letter and a revised bill, with an apology for the over-charge, came within a week.

How to get any guy to come to you freestyling..

Or in any situation really.

If you notice a guy who has potential or you’re attracted to, the best thing you can do is eye contact. Not random but purposeful and distracting eye contact that sends a message.

Example: You are in a bar and see a man across the way, expensive suit, hot, ect ect. If he’s not glancing at you yet every now and then (he should be you’re hot as fuck) look in his general direction (not straight at him) until you see him look your way. Then clearly lock eyes, smile and look down still smiling. Don’t look to the side it shows disinterest like your passing over them for the next guy or not seeing them at all.

Now his interest should be piqued. Keep your peripherals open so you can tell when he’s looking at you again and do the same thing, with small changes in reaction. Sometimes a small wink or tilt of head or a slight smile with longer eye contact. Nothing over the top. It’s all about the obvious but small body language. 2 or 3 times of this I guarantee he will come over to buy you a drink.

Guys usually don’t approach you in a bar purely because they are worried about getting rejected. Showing them that your welcome to them approaching at that time will increase the chances of them meeting you. And it’s not obvious so if he’s a douche and you want to continue searching, you’re not announcing to the whole room your intentions by walking up to random dudes.
