Since self discipline requires that you take small steps towards making improvements, you must also nurture and respect the achievements you have made regardless of how small the tasks are.
Discipline takes time to develop, but you have to be determined.
The more you try to take deliberate and disciplined steps, the stronger you become.
Many times, we become overwhelmed with our daily tasks and if you are an entrepreneur, this is something you struggle with daily.
How many times have you been doing something else like spending time with your family or friends, yet you are focused on what you could be doing at work? Lack of self discipline causes this very thing to happen.
While you should be spending good quality time enjoying yourself, your focus is on work.
When you are working, you are often scatter brained trying to do ten things at once.
Here are the three tips to improve your self discipline: 1.
Try not to Procrastinate: Make a list of what you hope to achieve and be determined to take action immediately.
Set deadlines and make a promise to yourself that you will stick to your plans until you achieve them.
Try not to procrastinate.
Procrastination weakens your resolve to be disciplined.
When you attain small objectives, it reinforces you inner decision to add more objectives and attain them.
The cumulative effect is that you increase your mind power which enables you to set bigger goals and achieve them too.
2.
Every Day Counts: Strive to practice discipline in little things daily.
It could be waking up early at 5am to study for at least 15 minutes before doing calisthenics for another 20 minutes.
Remember if you skip a day, your discipline level will decline and this would further weaken your resolve to continue.
3.
Visualize your final achievement: Take some time to visualize what it would look like when you achieve your goals and aspirations as a result of taking disciplined steps daily.
Outline what it would take to achieve your goals and take action immediately.
This helps you even when you are unfocused or get sidetracked.
Simply follow these basic tips and you will surely gain and develop more self discipline within yourself which will bring you one step closer to attaining your dreams.
