Transcripts
we all want to be better smarter
stronger healthier more successful but
our lack of discipline prevents us from
sticking to these things in the long
term most of us are on and off with our
habits starting when we feel motivated
and then quitting when that bow of
motivation ends that is why today we are
going to talk about how to solve this
problem of self-discipline how to do the
things that we say we are going to do
despite facing resistance but without
being toxic or shaming hating or
guilting ourselves into doing so rather
we are going to take a more gentle
loving approach to discipline so that we
can actually make it effortless this is
everything we're going to cover in the
video so make sure you hit subscribe and
like if you are new to the channel and
make sure you stick around till the end
because I'll be sharing a list of daily
practices that can help you get started
in the right direction why do we
struggle with discipline most people
believe that discipline is being able to
do something that you don't want to do
now imagine for a second that you are
kidnapped and the kidnapper asks you to
do all of these chores like cleaning
cooking and sleeping in the corner are
you doing these things because you're
disciplined or are you doing these
because you're a prisoner and your
survival depends on doing them the more
you slave on like this the more you will
resent the kidnapper and try everything
in your power to break free most of us
have a similar relationship to
discipline where we are the kidnappers
and our internal intrinsic desires are
the slaves that are trying to break free
we struggle with discipline because most
of the things that we think we have to
do in order to live a happier more
fulfilling life are not aligned with the
things that we want to do and what are
these things that we want to do scroll
Instagram Party All Night play video
games hang out with friends eat junk
food not do the work not do the
assignment right now we are
intrinsically motivated to do these
things because they are enjoyable they
are fun they give us that that hit of
dopamine and instant pleasure the
problem that most of us face today is
that we have trained our brains into
constantly seeking these cheap hits of
dopamine we have trained our brains to
focus on this instant gratification
continuously again and again and in
doing so we step farther and farther
away from discipline and the more we
keep working towards these the more
difficult it becomes to get back on
track so how do we break out of this
Loop how do we untr gain our brain from
relying on these cheap hits of dopamine
and how do we train ourselves to become
disciplined start by reframing what
discipline means to you most of us have
a toxic relationship with discipline
like we've already established but what
if instead of shaming ourselves and
guilting ourselves into doing things we
started thinking of discipline as a form
of self-love think of yourself as a
parrot and now imagine how you would
approach this with your own child you
want them to focus on their health and
their well-being and improving their
life because you love them and you want
what is best for them why don't you want
that for yourself self-discipline is
self-love in action and when you start
to think of discipline this way it
becomes a lot easier to stay on track
for example when I was initially trying
to lose weight and stick to my diet just
based on my willpower it never worked
there was so much shame associated with
it there was a lot of guilt for not
being able to stick to my practices and
there was this constant battle in my
head because I was trying to turn myself
into an obedient slave but when I
reframe this to I exercise and I eat
clean because I love my body and I
respect my body I work hard because I
deserve the best things in life and I
want to give them to myself The
Narrative changed completely it became a
lot more enjoyable and a lot more
sustainable and the beauty about
approaching discipline as a form of
self- Lov is that the more you do it the
stronger this Loop becomes the more you
love yourself the more disciplined you
want to be and the more disciplined you
are the more it fuels your self- Lov
this happens because your sense of
purpose fulfillment and joy now comes
from doing this instead of relying on
the cheap hits of dopamine like eating
junk food and watching too much TV step
two find your competing interest what do
you find more fun more valuable more
enjoyable than scrolling on your phone
and being lazy all the time now when
you're first trying to figure this out
it can be difficult because if you have
been stuck in this lube for ever you
might think that there is nothing more
enjoyable than scrolling on your phone
and hanging out with your friends and
constantly watching TV if that is the
case I want you to think of the cost
benefit analysis ask yourself that if
you were to continue doing whatever you
are doing right now what would your life
look like in the next 5 years and then
on the next page if you were to get
disciplined what would your life look
like then in the next 5 years and I want
you to put these side by side and
compare in most cases you will realize
that the benefits of discipline far
outweigh the costs of discipline and far
outweigh the benefits of instant
gratification the cost of discipline is
that you are giving up small periods of
instant gratification but the benefit is
that you become healthier richer more
successful and happier than you
currently are on the other hand if you
look at your lazy phase and your instant
gratification phase right now you will
find that the costs of this phase
outweigh the benefits by large the
benefits of this phase are that it is
giving you instant pleasure it is making
you feel good in the moment but the cost
is that your physical health your mental
health your financial well-being and
almost all other areas of your life will
become much worse 5 years down the line
till these things no longer give you
pleasure so with this exercise we're
basically trying to align our intrinsic
and our extrinsic motivation our
intrinsic motivation is our internal
drive for doing things and if we can
fundamentally understand understand the
benefits of discipline it makes us
internally motivated to become more
disciplined and when that happens we are
a lot more likely to stay on track
because our internal Compass is now
aligned with our external motivations
okay now that you're here step three is
to make discipline a part of your
identity jho Shri Shri James kki for
bringing this concept to the public he
basically says that people act in
accordance with what they believe about
themselves a beautiful example of this
is Shah ruk Khan he believes that he is
the king of Bollywood and he works acts
and speaks exactly in accordance with
that identity and this stands true for
discipline as well you are more likely
to be disciplined and to stay on track
if you believe you are a disciplined
person so if you're constantly saying
things like I'm lazy and I'm not
disciplined no points for guessing how
you are going to act changing your
identity starts with changing the way
that you speak to yourself and about
yourself you can do this by speaking
affir ations in the mirror you can do
this by journaling you can also do this
by constantly correcting yourself every
time you make this mistake but one of my
favorite ways to start is to describe a
day in the life of your ideal self or
the life of your most disciplined self
and answer as many questions about this
person as you can but make sure you
write them in the present tense right so
what do they do for a living how does
their day look like what do they do from
morning to evening what is their routine
like what do they eat how do they dress
everything all of the questions that you
can answer about your most disciplined
self write them down and I want you to
do this exercise every single month till
you get to a point where your current
identity aligns with this one and when
you're doing this exercise every single
month after you've written down the
answers I want you to sit and visualize
yourself as this person it can sound
stupid it can feel very stupid to do in
the beginning and you might face a lot
of internal resistance while doing so
but go ahead and do do it anyways and
you're going to thank me for it step
four is creating a system to make
discipline automatic now this system has
four parts creating an action rule book
getting started removing friction and
rewarding yourself any sort of habit
that you create in life follows this
basic structure and if you've read
Atomic habits you know this but I'm
going to try and explain this with
examples number one creating an action
rule book now when you're working on
changing your identity it can feel
overwhelming well because one thing are
changing and two because you might feel
like this is something that you have to
do for life and that is a challenging
thing to imagine so create a rule book
all of the different things that you
think your disciplined self should do
write them down in a list on a piece of
paper and put it up on your bulletin
board then get realistic figure out
which of these things can you
incorporate into your current schedule
into your current lifestyle without
burning out I would suggest starting
with two things at a time two or three
maximum now if you can go ahead and
incorporate these two things into your
life seamlessly right away without any
friction great but if you can't I want
you to start with the smallest viable
action let's say the two things that
you've picked are walking every day and
studying more consistently right what is
the smallest viable action that you can
take for both of these things for
walking it can probably be walking 10
minutes a day and for the studying one
it can be going to the library every day
now for the next few weeks I want you to
focus on doing just these two things and
forget everything else that you've
written so far just these two things
walking 10 minutes and going to the
library whether you go and study
afterwards is not a concern you just
have to make sure that you get to the
library every single day that's it you
could in fact stack your habits and walk
to the library and that covers your 10
minutes of walking and going to the
library and if you continue to do this
for the next 20 days you are already one
step closer to becoming your most
disciplined self then once you're able
to do do this for a month on end you
want to increase the frequency of doing
these things and then slowly
incorporating more things from your rule
book till you're able to get to a place
where you feel self-disciplined it's
okay if you fall off the wagon it's okay
if you fall short just get up get back
on the horse again and do it anyways
building discipline is like any other
habit the more we do it the stronger it
becomes we are retraining our brain how
to get disciplined and take it away from
all of that training that we have given
it so far this happens because of
something called neural plasticity which
is our brain's ability to form new
neural connections so each time you take
a disciplined action you are
strengthening that neural pathway till
over time that action becomes very easy
to take step two of this is getting up
and getting started now getting started
for most people is a lot harder than
sustaining an action that they are
already doing which is why it is very
difficult for you to break out of that
Loop of laziness and start taking action
because your body would much rather
sustain being lazy this happens because
of a thing called resistance your body
wants to continue in the state that it
is in getting up and changing that state
requires effort and your brain does not
want to do that so you need a system in
place to get started for me this system
when it comes to work is watching a
short motivational video and making
myself a cup of coffee and when I
combine both of these activities my
brain is already conditioned to take
that as a cue to start working and that
puts me in work mode and I start working
another example if you are struggling to
wake up and go to the gym you get a
trainer who calls you till you get up
and get to the gym one of my cousin
Brothers had actually tried this and
this really worked for him because he
had the hardest time waking up in the
morning so he hired a trainer and that
trainer would Hound him every single day
till he got to the gym and that made it
a very consistent habit for him
similarly if you struggle waking up in
the morning you could install an alarm
clock on your phone that does not shut
off until you solve a math problem for
example so I'm going to leave the
creativity up to you but whatever task
it is that you're trying to accomplish
you need to figure out how you will get
into that zone where you are just
getting started and getting into
momentum step three of creating your
system is removing friction which is
basically putting a process in place
that helps you overcome any obstacle
that you're going to face one strategy
that you can use here is called
implementation intentions which
basically means that you have an if then
plan for your obstacles if this happens
then I will do this let me give you an
example let's say that youve decided to
go to the gym every day at 9:00 a.m. but
what if you are not able to wake up
early enough to go to the gym at 9:00
a.m. then you are going to go to the gym
in the evening after office now what if
you get stuck late at work in office
then you are going to download a
15-minute workout video from YouTube and
either do it after office within office
itself or come back home and do it then
you see you account for obstacles that
you are invariably going to face these
are going to come up in your life life
because life happens so you already
account for if this happens then I'm
going to do this this strategy was
introduced by this German psychologist
called Peter gitza who found that if you
account for the obstacles that you're
going to face you are more likely to
stay on track another strategy that you
can use to remove this friction is
something called loss aversion now
personally this doesn't work for me
because I don't relate to it and this is
not how my brain functions but it does
for a lot of people which is why I'm
including it in this video lots of
version basically states that the pain
of losing something is twice as powerful
as the pleasure of gaining something for
example you would be a lot more affected
if you lost 1,000 rupees as opposed to
gaining 1,000 rupees so what you can
basically do is set up a cash bet with a
friend or online where if you don't do a
particular thing you end up losing money
for example if you don't finish your
exercise goal for the day your friend
will take 1,000 rupees from you and tear
it up or flush it down the toilet so
there's no chance of you ever getting it
back and that can be an incredibly
powerful motivator just make sure that
whatever you are losing is painful
enough and the final step of creating
your system is setting rewards in place
having milestones in your journey and
tying those to rewards to actual
tangible physical rewards is very
essential for long-term progress this
basically ties in with our dopamine
reward system when you tie disciplined
activity with a reward you signaling to
your brain that being disciplined is
inherently fun it's inherently enjoyable
and that's why I want to do more of it
what that reward is going to be is
something that I leave to you because
different people enjoy different things
uh when I started my healthy eating
Journey my reward was a cheat meal at
the end of the week and it was very very
helpful in helping me maintain that
streak of eating clean 6 days a week
similarly I had number goals when I
started YouTube and having those goals
in place made it a lot easier for me to
stick to my progress and keep in mind
that after you continue doing this for a
while the results you get out of your
discipline actually become the reward
and they fuel further discipline coming
to step number five optimizing your
environment to reflect your new identity
there is enough psychological research
done that tells us that our environment
directly impacts our identity our
motivation and our sense of discipline
if you hang out with disciplined people
you are more likely to be disciplined if
you hang out with indisciplined people
guess what is going to rub off on you so
going back to the drawing board ask
yourself what your environment looks
like for you as a disciplined person or
what does your physical environment look
like what are the kind of people you are
surrounded by and then act step by step
to change your environment so that it
reflects this identity for example if
your disciplined self exercises
regularly you will have a lot of fit
friends you will have a gym membership
you will have your clothes laid out the
night before you will have your workout
downloaded all of that jazz right if
your discipline self does focused work
work your desk will not have
distractions you will put your phone on
silent when you're working you will not
be surrounded by other distracting
elements things like that if your
disciplined self eats healthy there will
be no junk food in your house when you
go grocery shopping you shop for healthy
food I actually personally do this and
I'm so proud of myself that there is
zero junk food in my house at the moment
the more you optimize your environment
to match your identity the easier it
becomes to stay disciplined and keep in
mind that this is a gradual process not
an overnight one now everything that
we've talked about so far is to get you
in the momentum to get you started with
discipline but what if you start strong
and then life gets in the way what do
you do then then you create a system to
sustain discipline this step is about
ensuring that you don't burn out because
discipline can be exhausting because
it's not our default setting and this is
going to look different for everyone I
for example I'm an able-bodied unmarried
person with very little respons
responsibilities besides taking care of
myself and so I have a lot of privilege
and things are easier for me on the
other hand things might be hard for you
your family conditions might not be
conducive you might have kids or you
might have very long working hours and
in that case you will need a lot more
time for rest and recovery but whatever
your situation might be these next four
steps are something that you can adopt
and optimize for your particular
situation right the first is separating
your selfworth from your dis discipline
often when we fall off track from any
habit that we're trying to build
including discipline we can get into a
shame spiral but you're not a bad person
for falling off the wagon you are not
inherently lazy just because things
didn't work out you need to give
yourself room for error for mistakes and
for learning from those mistakes
self-compassion is the only way to
ensure that you remain motivated in the
long run if you beat yourself up about
it every single time you fall off the
wagon you are always going to be
demotivated and you're never going to
want to do it again to avoid those
feelings of Shame and guilt the second
thing you want to do is treat discipline
like a science experiment where you
create a hypothesis about a particular
thing that you want to be disciplined
about and then you test that hypothesis
out see what works see what doesn't
double down on the things that are
working and then eliminate the things
that are not working when you approach
any habit including discipline like this
like a science experiment you are
basically treating failure as feedback
and when you do that it takes away all
of those negative emotions we often
associate with failure and when that
happens it becomes so much easier to
stay on track the third thing you want
to do is make it enjoyable and this is
separate from the rewards that we were
talking about earlier this just means
that within the actions that you're
taking to be more disciplined choosing
actions that are inherently more
enjoyable for you for example if your
goal is exercising but you don't enjoy
going to the gym forcing yourself to
show up at the gym every day is not
going to be very sustainable but on the
other hand if you pick an activity that
you find fun maybe it's going for a walk
with your best friend maybe it's joining
a dance class and if you do those
activities you are a lot more likely to
stick to your goal to stick to your path
to stick to your track the end goal
remains the same just the process of
reaching that end goal is a lot more fun
for you making it easier to stick to it
for as long as you want finally you want
to seek support from the people around
you a lot of people will have you
believe that discipline is this thing
that you have to do in isolation but
that is not the case we don't live in
isolation we don't work in isolation so
when we look at discipline we have to
look at it in relation with everything
else in our life including the people in
our life and that means that when things
CCH tough having a support system can go
a really really long way whenever you
hear any success story of anybody in any
field where discipline has gotten them
somewhere you will see that their family
their spouse their team members have
actually all supported them to help them
Reach where they are so ask your partner
your friends your family to help keep
you accountable for instance since I got
on this weight loss journey I have asked
my family members to not comment on my
looks and to not comment on my weight
because I am trying to maintain a
positive mindset I'm trying to manifest
things into my life and when somebody
becomes negative or when somebody
negatively comments on your looks it can
really mess with that thought process
similarly I have asked my friends to not
force me to eat out and similarly I have
asked my partner for accountability in
the gym so go ahead figure out who these
people are who can support you on this
journey and then don't be afraid to ask
for help and this gets us to the final
part of the video a few daily practices
that can help you Kickstart this
discipline Journey the first thing is
daily affirmations for discipline I am
displaying all of the ones that I use on
the screen so you can screenshot this
page or pause it and note these down and
I practice these right in the morning
when I'm doing my journaling practice I
will write them down along with the
other affirmations that I have using
affirmations basically shift your
identity and your narrative towards
yourself the next thing I do is keeping
my physical health in check your mental
health relies hugely on your physical
health so drinking enough water eating
nutrient dense food taking my
supplements doing some sort of physical
movement every single day yes I know
that it takes discipline to get here but
if you can get started with these right
off the bat it can really Aid your
journey the third thing I do is creating
weekly and daily plans for my day right
so I sit down every single Sunday and I
jot down what I need to get done during
the week this includes both things
related to my personal goals and my work
goals and I get an overview of what is
it that I need to get done in the week
and the second thing I do is every
morning I sit down and I create a to-do
list of the tasks that I need to
accomplish in the day this just keeps my
head space very clear and makes it a lot
easier to stay stay on track it's like
meal prepping so that everything is in
front of you you know what to get done
so even if you fall off the wagon here
and there you can always check this and
get back on track the next thing that I
do is I use this app called habit on my
phone for habits that I'm trying to
build or habits that got broken somehow
and I'm trying to rebuild and you
basically input all of these habits it
sends you daily reminders and then you
can just check them off once you've done
those habits and finally I have an
accountability partner who I discuss my
day with so we exchange not notes on
what we plan to do for the day and then
at the end of the day we discuss how
much we got done and when we both do
this it keeps us both accountable so
just as a summary this is everything
that we covered in the video today and I
also have homework for you so go ahead
and do a cost benefit analysis of your
current lifestyle versus your
disciplined lifestyle in the next 5
years and don't forget to check out this
video next because YouTube suggests that
you're going to love it and I'm going to
see you guys very very soon with the
next one bye
me
