If you want to achieve your goals, motivation isn't enough. How many days have you woken up thinking, "I just don't feel like it?" In those cases, you can attempt to raise your motivation... or you can just do the thing anyway.
The latter option requires discipline - which is completely separate from motivation. It is the mental quality - often called willpower - that allows you to practice self control, to work hard even when you're tired, and to lean into discomfort rather than shying away from it.
So, if you want to improve your self discipline, and use it to build new habits and achieve your goals, then put the 6 tips I'm going to share with you in this video into action.

*"How strange and foolish is man. He loses his health in gaining wealth. Then, to regain his health he wastes his wealth. He ruins his present while worrying about his future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him, but dies in a way as if he was never born"*
Attributed to Imam Ali (ra) (Idk if it's authentic or not)

Do you know what is worthless that way of thinking, a person with that sort of perception has such a common mindset even though he/she think his/her mindset is somehow unique it is just nihilistic and most people commonly subconsciously hold to these same beliefs they are about 90% of the world that why they don't ever create impact or apply there life to make the lives of others better or build their own lives they assume they are powerless and so become enslaved to their own notion that their is no hope for them but this might be a shock buddy everybody doesn't live that way.
Wait a minute, this sounds like Seneca
@@reecebartlett8565 Its a quote directed to the greedy merchant-folks and tribal chieftains of the Arab peninsula, in the seventh century AD. In another quote, this man has said "Work for your afterlife as if you will die as soon as tomorrow, and work for your life as if you live forever", and similarly, the meaning is very theological, and talks about the afterlife's importance in a Muslim's life. It comes exaggerated in this way as though to inspire, but this Imam was not a man who stood against hard work; he worked as a well digger despite being a caliph, a position that gives one absolute authority over an Islamic empire that extended from Persia to Tunisia. He gave charity to all who needed it, even Christian citizens of the Rashiddun caliphate.
It comes to no surprise that this selfless, hard working islamic champion would guide his people into Religion's ultimate goal: seeking God's salvation and entering his heavens. To be able to achieve the latter, one must dedicate themselves to God's worship, and the following of his orders.
In the Islamic scripture, known as the Quran (The evidence), and in the Prophet's quotes (The Hadith), it is implied that knowledge, hard work and discipline are required from a Muslim, whilst also adhering to God's word, in worshiping, charity, being nice, etc.
Thanks bro for the context I was a bit quick to attack.
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.” - Jim Carey
Deák Tamás Wow...Jim Carey said almost the same thing as Solomon in Ecclesiasties!
I don't get it..
In other word: being rich is not the answer to ur problems... there are always another problem even if you're rich...
@@marsinahpriyanto2582 so true, if you are not satisfied from within, no amount of external remedies will fix you. Self discipline greatly helps with this.
wow
Cold showers are honestly a gateway, highly recommend.
Or the consequence of neglecting to put on sunscreen.
You think so Adrian? I am working on getting disciplined & getting things done. Maybe I ought to give it a try. 🤔
Alot of health benefits to it! Helps promote restful sleep, increase metabolism and burn fat, etc.
Actually alot of people have said it really isnt.
@@katoria69
Then i shouldn't take cold showers haha, i have really fast metabolism and im really thin.
I have a bad habit of studying according to my mood 🙃 I will sit one day for hours studying and then stop for the next three days💆♀️. I want to do the best everyday😔
maybe its burn it? just do enough each day to feel good about your work but not enough to get tired of the process
instead of sprinting and then burning out, try pacing yourself more! pomodoro timer helps me because it forces me to take breaks. make sure to actually follow it tho and try doing it consistently for a week. hope this helps :)
Don't try to study every single day, you will burn yourself out and it will be counter productive in the long run. Best of luck to you!
Same.
watch his motivation video.
1. Create an Identity
- Instead of saying _"I'm trying to quit X",_ say _"I don't do X"_
2. Set a Reminder
- This ensures that you don't forget
3. Embrace the suck
- Push through with things that you don't want to do in order to improve self discipline
4. Target the Fundamentals
- Focus mainly on health( getting good sleep, eating healthy, and exercise)
5. Practice Zazen meditation
6. Build some habits
- Use a habit tracker
- Look for a positive trend, not on being perfect
Thank you, this should be pinned.
Thank youuu!!
Bless you 🙏😅
Merci beacoup
Thnx
"Start thinking in behavior change in terms of The person you want to embody, rather than the goals that you want to achieve."
That phrase hit me like a truck, thank you, Tom.
Me too man.
Yup, it’s two very different answers things to me when i ask myself about my goals vs who i want to be
I need you to understand self discipline is the main thing. It's the ultimate demon, it's the hardest thing to conquer because once done you can conquer ANYTHING. Everything comes down to self discipline, changing your body, making money, drug addictions. You're capable of so much so don't let those voices in your head keep you back. You deserve everything you want it just all comes down to discipline don't give up. Anyway I just made a video on all this and went in deep I would appreciate if you checked it out, thanks.🙏
**enter the grammar police
“Self-discipline is about leaning into resistance. Taking action in spite of how you feel. Living a life by design, not by default. But most importantly, it’s acting in accordance with your thoughts-not your feelings.”
This is definitely one of the most beautiful quote I ever read.
You explained this really well!
Thank you for your points about self-discipline!
I’ll remember this for next time! 😄
Wow
@@NathalieLazo just take a screenshot that's what I did, ain't no remembering it for me unless I see it . LOL

Thank you brother...Useful video as always..and one thing,can you please make a video on How to go to bed on time?.. I've been trying to build the habit of waking up early and I've failed to reach automaticity because I struggle to go to bed on time..
Thanks bro
Yes, especially because going to bed and actually falling asleep are sometimes hours apart
its the meditation that makes me realize im concentrated on my breathing so im concentrated on the here and now. instead of what could be or how things should of been
Dai R. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thanks mate
How in the earth he knew that I needed this ?
Happened to me tooooooooo
Most people need this
He always posts things I need at the right time! :)
may be your dad
I know right
I like the resistance/ lifting analogy. Embrace the suck... If I feel like I don’t want to do it.. then I know If I DO, I’ll be making progress🤓
😂 Doesn't sound bright, buddy
@@hansdampf4120 what?
Steffen Kress you noticed a typo thanks for catching that!👍🏽
Truuuuuuuu
YOU MUST DO SOMETHING THAT SUCKS EVERY SINGLE DAY..
What I’ve discovered today, my own method ;
1: Catch yourself being unconscious of your actions, be as conscious as possible with any action you take.
2. Retrieve from your mind what you’d like to achieve and which are those actions that’ll help you get there and whether in your current conscious moment, the task at hand aligns.
3. Realise and look back on all the times you’ve procrastinated because you’re tired etc and realise you’ve never actually once felt like doing it and always resorted to later and it ended up not being done.
Basically my magic formula,
“Wake up” from your current action
Question if it aligns
Know it doesn’t, change your action
You don’t feel like it
Realise, you’ll never feel like it
You didn't only come up with it, but you wrote it down and shared it with us, thx!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thankzz brotha
Thank you for this!
Thank you so much
Embrace discomfort. Lean into resistance. Every "I don't feel like it" moment is an opportunity to develop self-discipline.
Why does it feel like he caught me procrastinating and uploaded a video to stop me from doing so
Same here
He got your back
Because you lazy. Like everyone else.
And he needs views and likes.
😂😂
I really try to stay neutral and not say anything, but you are GLOWING. Your confidence is justing shining right through your face. You look amazing!! Keep it up!
Sugar Skulls he is distractingly cute
I'm distracted by his cuteness...im not understanding what he is saying
I think you mentioned balance but I still want to add: Have a hobby/activity that has NOTHING to do with your main goal. Doing something else between the work phases helps me a lot in being productive. My goal is becoming an accountant/working with law & taxation. I've found sewing to be a really good hobby for me. So, I learn and then take a break by sewing. I try not to think about my study during the break and it really works for me.
This is really good stuff. I have ADHD and I choose not to take medication for it, I am looking for natural ways to increase my focus and discipline, I liked the part about identity the best. It really makes sense
But how do you get better at self discipline when you have things to do but you don't see the point in it? For example, a student in school may understand the importance but may also understand school is not entirely important in becoming "successful."
Something that's always helped me:
I worked at a grocery store in high school. Before my first day at work started, my mom told me, "It doesn't matter whether you want to work there forever or not. It doesn't matter if you're only there for the money. You go in and work as hard as you can in order to show that you're a good worker, to pay your dues, and to serve the people you're working for."
Come to think of it, this actually goes right back to that whole identity thing. It didn't matter that I wasn't the biggest fan of bagging groceries; my mother taught me to be the kind of person who actually gives a damn and works hard no matter what I'm doing.
I think viewing school the same way would be helpful.
@@Thomasfrank Thank you, as a student who is in high school you have helped.
Suraiya Shiwnarain, your name sound very Elvish.
You are just making an excuse not to go to school.
Suraiya Shiwnarain absolutely agreed.
4 main areas:
Discipline
Environment
Habits
Discipline - do it regardless how u feel
Baseline to archieve goals
/focus on identity
/set reminders
/ embrace resistance
/target the fundamentals first- food, rest, exercise
/build new habits
#5 meditation
Also, sleep* in particular, not just rest
This definition of discipline is very , very POWERFUL .
Lucas Meotti Dude you make it sound easy.I know what to do but don’t know how to do it.
Thank you for the summarization of the main aspects of this video
Great JOB! I thought I would add (thank you, Victor...)
Self-Discipline is about leaning into resistance.
Taking action in spite of how you feel.
Living a life by design not by default.
But most importantly, it’s action in accordance with your thoughts
- not your feelings

The entire video can be a life building video by itself. Amazing bro. Keep going
Have it on a daily "to play" playlist and in one year you'll be better than you were this year!
Abner Bondoc yea I feel like this one was a distillation of a lot of really important lessons that I’ve had to learn more scatteredly over the past 3 years.
Life changing really.

I have a personal favorite quote from Eric Thomas that goes something like this.
Self-discipline is "to be able, at any moment,to sacrifice what you are for what you will become".
When I was in school I thought I wasn't giving as much effort as I could and I started calling myself a Nerd and changed my habits to suit
My summary (+some own thoughts):
->In short: Self-Discipline (SD) is about leaning into resistance. Taking action in spite of how you feel. Living a life by design, not by default. But most importantly, it's acting in accordance with your thoughts - not your feelings. -> SD is the ability to make the conscious decision to do something regardless of whether you feel motivated.
->6 strategies for building SD:
1. Forget about the goal, focus on the shift in identity (see James Clear, Atomic Habit)
a) Example: Think of yourself as an athlete ->you're more motivated to hit the gym, eat healthy etc.
b) Enemy: Imposter Syndrome might make you feel insecure whether you could fulfill a particular role -> overcome it!
c) Explanation: Cialdini's consistency principle: ppl want to act according to their previous decisions / principles etc.
2. Frequently remind yourself of why you're being disciplined at all (see Sinek, Start With Why)
a) Write down your long-term goals and store them visibly in your everyday life (on the wall, display background picture, on your desk, in your wallet etc.)
b) Example: Jim Carrey's $10M cheque that he gave to himself at the beginning of his career and carried around for motivation
3. Embrace the resistance/discomfort in every situation (see Taleb, Antifragile)
a) It's like a rep in the gym -> with each rep your will gets stronger
b) The increase in willpower will be beneficial towards ANY future tasks
c) Look for ways in everyday life to embrace discomfort, e. g. take cold showers, stairs instead of elevator, hit the gym etc.
4. Target the fundamentals first
a) Fundamental needs: food, rest, exercise etc. (see Maslow's pyramid)
b) Why? Brain-part that handles executive functioning ("internal manager", System II (see Kahneman), locus of willpower) requires lots of energy and rest
5. Regular zen meditation
a) Zen meditation has many benefits: relieves einstellung effect (more creativity), better concentration, improves emotion regulation & self-discipline
b) Apps for guided meditation: Headspace, Calm, YT Videos
c) Thomas recommends Zazen (sit & concentrate on your breath, eyes closed, notice and let go of distracting thoughts); "It's the self-development technique I hate doing the most, but the benefits are undeniable"
6. Build new habits
a) The initial stages of building new habits require self-discipline as it's not automatic yet
b) The self-discipline is improving in the process of habit development for reasons similar to 3 ("mental training")
c) When a habit gets automatic it requires much less self-discipline in the future
d) For every habit you build: start small, track your progress, maybe use an app like habitica/strides/habitbull, celebrate your wins and focus not too much on purity/streaks. Instead make sure your trend is going in a overall positive direction.

Just when I was binge watching Netflix. Best timing.
This showed up on Netflix?
Quality is that good, eh?
I like that you knew better and acted upon it.
Solid advice man! I found my gains in self discipline came from putting myself in a position to feel discomfort, then making sure I moved into that discomfort to get the win on the other side. Basically tempering my mind through controlled struggle.
Thomas, I listen/read/follow a lot of good stuff about self help from many masters of the disciplines, and you have an outstanding way of delivering them all in this video and many of your others! Thanks for your time and effort my friend!
The thing about self-discipline is it is so hard to get into the habit but once you're in it feels amazing.
hopefully

I just started reading Atomic Habits. It's the best book I've read this year especially when James talked about how you should improve 1% every day and embrace who you want to become.
I’m taking the first steps. I’ve been in celebration/vacation mindset since my last big accomplishment nearly 2 years ago. Time to shape back up, in every form. Thanks for the tips!
This is probably the best advice I’ve received within this genre. Thank you for your efforts.
A flip side for the identity method! So, while I think the identity method is such a empowering mindset change, I've recently read a Mark Manson (The art of not giving a f#ck author) article which said the exact opposite: to not get your identity involved in the actions you want to do because it could get you emotionally attached in an unhealthy way. The article is called "Stop trying to change yourself" (not as bad as it sounds). I'd say give that a read as well and then decide which mindset empowers you more. For me it's getting my identity involved. But I thought I'd share this regardless. Thomas, your personal development videos are my favourite, you make them so complete and resourceful. Also, I've got my Brilliant membership. Still debating on the cold showers...
I'll give that a read when I can!
My initial thought - perhaps there's a time at which to apply both philosophies. I know that it can be dangerous to tie your identity to actions in certain ways, because you're pegging your confidence and self-worth to their outcomes. Perhaps it's the outcomes of the actions that are dangerous to rely upon.
But embodying the identity that encourages me to actually put in the work - the right input-based goals, perhaps - seems healthy to me.
I'll agree - as someone who for many years based their entire identity upon being a brainiac. However, I think the perspective Thomas mentions would be better fitting for ADDING something to your identity, ex. I have been working hard on the identity "factor" of being someone who goes to the gym to lead a healthier life. I don't se myself as someone who exercises 24/7 like I used to playing soccer 6 days a week, because that is not sustainable in my adult student life and would only lead to me feeling disappointed in myself for not maintaining the crazy physique I had in my teens. Right now I am just aiming to get more energy in my daily life, and thus I add the "I exercise for health"-identity factor. Makes sense?

The notif for this vid came as if it’s watching me,, truly needed, especially that I haven’t been able to leave my phone and make myself work over the last week.. thank you for the video Thomas! I always look up to your videos!
Me too😪
THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL THING I'VE LEARNED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS! THANK YOU!
Great video - love the idea of acting in alignment with the changes in our identity. It's something Glenn and I talk about constantly. Truth to feast on!
I actually need this. My exam is next week and I am just chilling.
I bet you're still chilling
Atb bro... Do well. Even I've got my exams the next week 😛

Ok now I just think Thomas is a mind reader he always puts out the right videos at the right time I swear he sees us all sitting on the couch instead of doing our assignments 😄
I agree 😂😂
My number one resource of getting better at everything! Following you on Instagram, youtube, and podcast since 2015. Amazing work brother, keep it up.
Man, I genuinely love your vibe. Your energy is motivating.
Perfect Timing :) I was looking for a great video like this.
A longer version to your 1 Strategy to be more Disciplined Video
Just when i was about to slack off again 😂 Perfect timing.
Hahaha profile picture fits exactly with the comment
There are no words that can tell how grateful I am that you made this video. Thanks a BIG lot.
Thank you so much for the video
Excellent video as always Tom. Another great self-discipline tactic is making your bed every morning. I started this about a year ago after hearing an incredible speech on the power of making your bed. I now do it every morning without fail and find that it helps me feel more disciplined and starts me off in a better state of mind. It also feels like a small accomplishment every day :)
When I was in Taekwondo they taught us a lot about self-discipline, not just in martial arts, but in life as well. I think this video’s also really helpful, thanks! Keep up the great vids 😄
Thank you so much Thomas
Great video! Really needed that. THank you!
0:35 - 0:39. So well put. Thanks.
Your content is amazing! I've already read your book. I just wish that someday it get translated to portuguese, I think your books would make a huge difference in my class mate's lives.
A big thanks from Brazil
Amazing tips ..thank you so much for this video!
That smoking reference and how the two levels of severity in boundaries are actually an indicator of how dedicated we actually are to change was great. Being consciously curious as to why we operate the way we do is an amazing tool to stay present, rather than robotically pushing through the day reaching into the future or the past to sustain an emotional fulfillment we haven't quite ascended to yet.
There is one quote that I really like and tell myself each time my brain goes "I don't feel like it":
"You can either endure the pain of self-discipline or suffer the pain of regret"
I think that is a very strong phrase for anyone who knows how it feels like to be in that phase of regret and beating oneself up.
1. Focus on your identity
2. Set Reminders
3. Embrace discomfort

I always appreciate how clear, approachable, and informative these videos are! Thank you :)
Man, this video came to me in a perfect time. I will graduate this year in computer science, and I had practice meditation some times, mostly in the past, but now the thing I need most is self discipline to work towards my bigger objectives in life, and your lessons really made me want to achieve this self discipline, thank you.
Hey Thomas and everyone else: This might be a bit late for you but i found a great Tip to keep Focus on Meditation and not get distracted as easily is to establish a very simple Mantra: Just repeat the Word ONE in your Head. It makes it so whenever your monkey brain sends your thoughts flying, you immediately refocus again because you have to formulate the word one in your head. this is of course possible with any word, but i find a visual 1 that i "say" with my inner voice aswell to be quite difficult to maintain so i have to focus. Hope it helps anyone!
Great video Thomas!!!! it helps me a alot
Thanks for providing links to the books you mentioned.
Great stuff. Having something you want to work towards helps you with self discipline. Loved how you mentioned James Clear's new book. Heard good things about it and I am looking forward to reading it

really great video and tips... I want to add something though... Gretchen Rubin´s four personality types (the upholder, questioner, rebel, and obliger) explained a lot for me... Everytime I tried to actually write down a goal or use a habit tracker I failed after a week or two... then I hated myself for being not disciplined enough and not keeping promises to myself... but in fact, every time, I tell myself I really really want to do something, and become obsessed with it, but don´t tell anybody and don´t write it down, for some reason it works (most of the time).... so even if (according to Rubin), the rebel model is the smallest group of the four personality types, I figured out that I don´t like being told what to do by anyone, not even myself...then it becomes a chore, and I don´t like it and rebel against it... but when I´m getting obsessed about it and thinking about it constantly (and also using your tips like making it non-negotiable, a part of my identity, stop thinking, just doing), I´m doing much much better :) Hope this might help someone...and maybe you could even do a video about it?! :) anyways, great job! :)
Thank you so much for all of the valuable information you provide. I was introduced to you through an online college class that had your note taking video available.
Thank you! This helps alot and thank you for the app recommendations!
Plan weekly instead of daily and you'll see how you accomplish more! Great video!
Fernando Gomez de la Torre why
You get a wider view of all the things you have to do and therefore plan better!
Definitely need more discipline for myself before USMC
I need more discipline, despite already being in
Thomas I came across your channel 'by chance' and straight away I loved IT. The video is so amazing that literary I've watched it a few times. Thanks
you are right, discipline is hard to obtain, all goes with facing your discomforts.
There's definitely good ideas here, particularly the first, third, and fourth. In combination with another video I recently watched which equated procrastination with resistance, I especially appreciate number 3.
I would like to share a word of caution concerning meditation. There are ways to improve focus and self-discipline that do not require going into full-blown meditation, which has harmful effects as well as beneficial.
For example, I read a book written by a man who was formerly in the New Age, but left it. He meditated everyday. During the time that he was doing so, he was convinced his car radio was broken because he could never hear any base. He'd had it "fixed" multiple times, to no avail. When he decided to stop meditating and tossed out all his related paraphernalia, he suddenly was able to hear the base in his car radio. I think it was the very next day. Don't ask me to explain the biological processes that caused this phenomenon; the author himself didn't know. But that was his experience.
There were other issues as well, but I'm not going to get into all that. The point is, just because something has benefits, doesn't mean it's all good. It's like certain foods. There may be good nutrients in it and you might decide it's good to eat, but there might also be something harmful in the food, and you might reap some unpleasant consequences in the future for eating it. So, be sure to research things like that very carefully before you just dive headlong into it just because your favourite CZcamsr does it....
I'd highly recommend 'extreme Ownership' by Jocko Willink.
What was your key learning of the book, the guy seems to be everywhere right now!
I have been looking for this for so much time and luckily i found your videos...Really helping me a lot in building myself and staying focussed...

i was looking for a comment that said this
I needed to see this. Thank you for posting
these videos are so calming to watch, i always watch you before i study.
Don’t be motivated, be disciplined.
Change your mindset to be consistent.
Create reminders.
Embrace disconfort.
Something I might add: Film yourself doing it (like a study with me thing) and post it, it really motivates you and you Don’t even have to show your face. Really, try it.
2x microdosing LSD a week
+ 4x mindfulness meditation + visualisation (yourself in a position who sees his problems as his own to be more a discilpined "workaholic") a week
+ 4x sport a week
+ always optimising diet
+ a good diary (tracking achievements/habits) and good planning
Man LSD ?
Man only LSD?
Thanks a lot for your awesome video.
This is really helpful!! Thank u!
"Motivation is your overall desire to do something whereas discipline is your ability to do it regardless of how you feel."
Great words. ♥️
Looks like I need to get a copy of Atomic Habits
Adnan A just sneak a free trial from audible
Rodney Hill can you keep doing free trials for different books?
No thanks, I'm not a smoker
Just gone through you laundry list, really impressed, you are a source of inspiration, keep up the good work!
Love the tips bro!!!!
This was a great video. I personally think the two key fundamentals that everything falls under for discipline is mindset and habits. Get those right, the rest will fall into place.
Why hate meditation??
Honestly, it's because it's very hard for me. I'm an extremely active person, so I have a lot of grit when it comes to actually working or pushing myself athletically. Sitting on the floor and doing nothing? Now that's a challenge...
@@Thomasfrank Thanks for clarifying, it is an act that requires a lot of discipline. If your mind wanders from your breathing, have you considered chanting (e.g. saying Om)? The reason is it's easier to stay focused on a chant than it is on breathing. You can work your way up to different states of focus

At the end of the video, would it be possible for you to summarize the concepts covered in the video? The tips you gave, as well as the books and apps that you mention. I feel like in each video there's a lot of good content but it's difficult to keep up with. For example, the mobile apps you mentioned I had to go back to see what they were because I forgot lol :). Do you happen to have a reading list as well?
I really liked this video!! Thanks!!
I loved these tips, especially the first one, thanks for them.
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time ngl
