What is self-discipline?
It's an attitude towards life.
Therefore, it is self-discipline that drives you to do:
Even if you continue to finish an idea or project after the initial enthusiasm fades, even if you really want to lie on the sofa and watch TV, you still have to go to the gym to exercise. Get up early for work, and say it in the face of temptation? No? Check your phone only a limited number of times at certain times of the day.
If you are struggling with self-discipline, act immediately and don't delay. Take me for example, it took me two years to get up early. I found that self-discipline has two characteristics.
1, self-knowledge
Self-discipline means that your behavior depends on your belief that you can make the best decision, not how you feel at that time. Therefore, the first characteristic of self-discipline is self-knowledge. You need to decide what behavior best reflects your goals and values. This process requires introspection and self-analysis, and it is most effective if you try to write it down. What is self-discipline? It's an attitude towards life.
2. Clear understanding
Self-discipline depends on a clear understanding of what you are doing and what you haven't done yet. Think about it. If you don't know your behavior is not self-disciplined, how can you make yourself self-disciplined?
When you start to be self-disciplined, you may catch some self-disciplined behaviors, such as playing mobile phone from time to time, not wanting to go to the gym, eating some snacks or checking your WeChat chat frequently. What is self-discipline? It's an attitude towards life.
