Discipline. What is it?

How much do you have?

Is it working for you or is it working against you?

We're gonna find out. Discipline

is the bridge that is between the goals that you dream about

and the reality that you are living in right now.

And to cross that bridge, it starts with promises.

And the promises that you make to yourself,

not break with justifications,

which is very easy to do with yourself.

Promises. Things like,

I've had a long day, I'll start tomorrow.

It's just one cookie. I'll go to the gym tomorrow.

You get it? But did you know that breaking promises to yourself

actually affects your self trust?

It affects your confidence.

It slowly arose at your self esteem,

at a subconscious level.

That's why you don't even realize that it's happening.

Google it, you'll see.

So here's some tips to help you keep promises to yourself.

Yes, I see the little lights on my face.

I don't care. Number one,

set realistic, specific goals for yourself.

Instead of vague promises that do nothing.

Clarify your intentions. So as example,

if you're trying to go to the gym, commit.

Put it in your phone on your calendar.

Tuesday, six PM, gym,

45 minutes. Done.

It's official. You can't back down now.

No.2. Break it down.

Start with small, manageable steps.

This helps you build confidence and gives you easy wins.

Look for that low hanging fruit.

So if you're dieting, as an example,

Or just trying to eat healthier.

Look for a swap. You have a snack that you like.

How do I swap that out for something healthier?

I guarantee you it exists out there.

You just have to go look for it.

No.3. Tracking your progress.

Remember that saying? There's an app for that.

Well, there's probably an app for whatever your promise is.

There's an app. I'm sure that you can help,

uh, help you stay on track with it.

No. 4. Visualize success.

Picture the outcome. Not just the outcome,

but you're picturing you in that outcome,

doing that outcome, being that outcome, right?

Say to yourself, you have to believe,

then you have to behave, then you become okay.

That's how it works. Uh,

No. 5. Staying accountable.

This is the last one. Share your goals with a friend.

Join a support group. Find some way to get extra motivation. Right,

so maybe you have a friend that's doing something similar,

or maybe they have their own promises that are different.

Doesn't matter. A promise is a promise.

Help each other, hold each other accountable.

Or maybe this is opportunity for you to break your mold

and go out and meet different people

that maybe do have those same goals as you.

It's out there. Just get out there and look for it.

Now, just remember that the promises you're making,

and the reason why I made this video

is the promises you make to yourself matter.

The most. Because they shape everything.

And how you deal with yourself,

how you trust yourself, how you look at yourself.

So start today, right now,

pick one little thing that you're gonna do the rest of the day,

and do not break that promise.

And why? Because every step forward

just only reinforces the life that you were trying to build now.
