1, only challenge one habit at a time. If you want self-discipline, you need a clear goal. But many people like to set many self-discipline goals for themselves, such as getting up early every day, persisting in exercise, finishing reading and writing, and so on. This is really not self-discipline, but self-abuse. To know that our bodies are resistant to doing painful things, what you need is to reduce the pain caused by self-discipline. So, give yourself a challenge every time.
2. Stay away from temptation and refuse excuses. To be self-disciplined, you really need to stay away from temptation. We are all ordinary people, and our resistance to temptation is really not high. If you want to lose weight, you must choose during the Spring Festival. Do you think you can tolerate the delicious food at home, or do you think you can refuse the delicious food at home? So, stay away from temptation and don't make excuses for yourself. If you choose to read a book, don't put your mobile phone in front of you; If you choose to quit smoking, don't walk with smokers.
3. Find appropriate self-discipline motivation, not numerical indicators. If you want to be self-disciplined, the motivation behind it is very important, which is related to whether you can adhere to self-discipline. Many people only set simple numerical indicators for self-discipline. Just like losing weight, your goal is 90 pounds. Once achieved, it is difficult to maintain, because the goal has been achieved. And if you have the right motivation to lose weight, for example, to get love. Even if the weight reaches the standard, there is still the motivation to maintain the weight. So, whatever you want to be self-disciplined, you must first know why you are doing it.
4. Remember to reward yourself. If you want to be self-disciplined, you should not only be able to endure hardships, but also learn to reward yourself. People can't live in pain all the time, and periodic rewards and incentives are very helpful for self-discipline. Just like playing a game, we will get a first-class reward every time we pass a level, so that we can continue to play happily. The same is true of self-discipline.
