How to Build Self-Discipline When You Don't Feel Motivated

Understanding the discipline algorithm will literally show you how to brainwash

yourself to make it hard not to be disciplined, and I can almost

guarantee you that nobody has told you this before.

Now, to begin with, you must understand

that you need to separate your actions

from your mood because for most people, the two are simply inseparable.

Bad mood equals unproductive. Tired equals take a day off.

Stressed equals I'll do it tomorrow.

But here's the thing, what if the two had no connection at all?

Well, they can, seriously. But how? I hear you ask.

Well, it starts with changing the story

that you tell yourself, but

bullshitting yourself simply will not work.

If you are stressed, telling yourself, "I'm not stressed," will not work.

If you are tired, telling yourself, "I am not tired," will not work.

Your brain cannot be fooled that easily. So what is the solution?

Well, step one, accept your mood. We know we can't fight it, so just

accept it. Step two, acknowledge that you feel it. Say to yourself,

"You know what?

I feel kinda stressed right now." And step three, and this

is the most important,

and this is the step that you are not doing right now, and to be honest,

nobody

does this, rewrite the next line of code in your

brain

because at the moment, your default programming

is to notice your mood and

then make a judgment. I feel scared, therefore, I can't.

I feel stressed, therefore, I can't.

I feel tired, therefore, I can't. And to be blunt with you, this is

fucking bullshit. Update the code.

Instead, tell yourself this. I feel scared, so I'll do it

scared. I feel stressed, so I'll do it stressed.

I feel anxious, so I'll do it anxious.

And yes, it literally is that simple, and it works because it's

true. There have been times where you have taken

action despite not feeling like

it. I know you can remember them, so do it again.

And with practice, this will not just be a skill.

This can be your hidden superpower.
