We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

[@starsonapollo2]

Love this! Definitely gonna quote you lol

[@jacey6543]

I’ve heard this before. So true!

[@weversonponte]

......."the difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons" this is the second half of the quote and it really puts it all into perspective and makes it all the more motivating .

[@site_is_down]

This is really true! That is why it is always important on our part, to at least have done something that will not make us have something to regret for in the future. Disciplining ourselves will always be hard in the beginning, but once we have come to get used to it and have turned it into a habit, it's easier to just live with it.

[@FatherjosephEspita]

That statement taught me a thought to to consider

[@tumage8592]

It never worked for me. I can be disciplined im Relation to others but I cant discipline myself and I cannot see myself as someone different.

step 1 to self-discipline: watch this video every morning

[@NimTheHuman]

Some key points for this video: 1:01 1. Reframe discipline as a function of self-love. For example, tell yourself, "I don't want you to eat that chocolate because I want the best for your health, because I love you." 2:44 2. Make discipline part of your identity. Think of yourself as a disciplined person. Envision it. 3:52 3. Reflect this new identity in your new environment. Make your environment look like that of a disciplined person (e.g., put away video games, keep your workout mat out). 4:43 4. Internalize the threat of not doing this. Loss aversion is a more powerful motivator than gain. 6:18 5. Have a good system to start things. Starting is harder than sustaining it. Remove any friction between you and starting your work. 8:33 6. Have a good method to sustain things. Create a sustainable daily/weekly/monthly routine. 9:50 7. Just do it. 10:05 Use discomfort training to help with just doing it (7). struthless deserves way more views. :( Not only is this channel informative and useful, it's creative and so artsy.

My favorite mindset hack for discipline: just have a good enough reason to do it. It was hard to come from a place of self-love back when I was depressed, but making enough money to take care of my family? A little more motivating. Find what pushes you and don't be afraid of material or "shallow" desires if that's what you really want right now.

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

Oh, an overlooked one actually. It worked at the time when I was suicidal. I was like, if I die today I can’t continue this hobby and who’s gonna care for my teddy bear 🧸. Something like this saved my life countless times

[@relaxinganimeasmr4670]

@@prapanthebachelorette6803 as someone who was suicidal I can confirm how having hobbies or something that I liked to do has kept me here. I was at the point that I seriously asked myself why I was even living as I didn’t look forward nor wanted any future or anything but then I was like oh well then I won’t have the chance to draw more or learn this language or write so I’ll live longer so I can do those. People have told me I shouldn’t focus on these since there will come a time I might not enjoy them anymore (I highly doubt so. I’m not someone who briefly attaches to things) but I disagree. When you’re a suicidal you have to cling to anything to live

[@brandonpetersen5710]

The "Just do it" method is by far the most powerful one that i've followed. People forget all the time that life is not always about being comfortable and having fun. (Like when most of us were kids). Once you become adult, you have responsibilities and pressure and you need to perform. If you don't, there's an internal system in your brain that fires up, making you feel all kinds of negative ways about yourself, which eventually leads to depression. A lot of people whince at the thought of going to the gym, supermarket for groceries, work, ect. But also most of those people find that once they go, and they're there, doing the thing they need to do, all the anxiety and uncomfortable pesky thoughts associated with it dissapear. It's like jumping in to cold water at the pool. The first few seconds you jump in, you get washed over with this liberating feeling, because the hard part is now done, you're already soaking wet now, so you might as well swim and enjoy it. This applies to just about everything you need to do, but don't want to. Once you initiate the action, it becomes SO MUCH easier and you actually kind of enjoy it too. And that's a positive feedback loop. You'll remember how it went last time, and that it wasn't so bad. So returning to do it again will be a lot easier from the beggining. You'll level up and those tasks will become automated after a long enough time. Hope this helps :)

[@sammig.8286]

Reminds of a time I was struggling with anxiety and just not wanting to do stuff, and I thought, "This is so hard!!" Then I thought, "You know, it will be a lot easier after you do it." "Ah, that's right! After I do it, it'll be done! That will make everything so much easier!" Then I immediately jumped up and completed as many tasks as I could as quickly as I could. Wish I could say this always works, but I'm very good at overthinking things, and even switching from thinking to doing is something I often overthink.

[@sj4267]

Yeah because if we are always being comfortable then it will eventually turn into discomfort because there will be no duality. Therefor doing the uncomfortable things will make the comfort so much more enjoyable.

[@thechancellor-]

🧡for the undisciplined among us🧡(jk) : Discipline definition (noun): doing the things that i said i was gonna do despite resistance 1. Reframe discipline as a function of self love - it's a spiral: self love can give you discipline, but discipline can also give you self love. - buy acting like somebody you respect, you naturally (by definition) respect yourself 2. Make discipline part of your identity - accept that being a disciplined version of yourself is inevitable paint a clear picture of: - who would i look like if i was disciplined - if i did the things i said i would do and also: - what does their day look like - where do they live - what do they eat - what do they wear - what does their week look like - what do they do for work - who are they surrounded by - what do they think and feel - what do they say no to - what do they say yes to - write any other details that you think will help you describe this person mental gymnastics: fully accept that at some point in the future you'll be this person just be open to this possibility. 3. Reflect this new identity in your environment - you want your environment to look as much like what your disciplined self's environment would look like - tangible things that keep you reminded of the future you could have 4. Internalize the threat of not doing this - loss aversion is proven to be a more powerful motivator than gain - you would rather avoid losing a dollar than gaining a dollar - the way we can use this to our advantage to trick our own brains is to make us feel we're losing something if we're not disciplined - make a loss aversion commitment, unless i do this one thing which i said i was gonna do, that money (e.g. €200) is going to a cause that i hate - the theory is that my drive to not lose money is stronger than my drive to skip a week - try and turn one of the habits you want to build into a system where loss aversion can motivate you and then replicate that loss aversion in your life in a healthy way in order to get you going 5. Have a good system to start things two systems: - starting systems -- whatever gets you going -- an author that starts writing what he hates for 5 minutes -- or making starting non-negotiable, like someone who uses a barcode alarm that forces you to get up and scan a barcode somewhere else - eliminating friction -- taking out the steps between you and whatever your toast is -- if it's drawing it's having your book and pencil ready to go before you start work -- if it's running it's having all your gear at one spot 6. Have a good method to sustain things. -- the most sustainable method for one might be the work week -- find a weekly, daily or a monthly routine, then make sure that you are not getting exhausted -- finding what you can do when you're not working that fills you with energy -- for 30 days you can ask yourself, what energized me today? -- then at the end of the month, look for commonalities 7. At some point the only true path is to just do it. - discomfort training (to your advantage) -- how you do anything, is how you do everything -- the way that you act in small situations, will often be the way you act in bigger ones -- doing small things that make you uncomfortable -- if you're someone who gets bored easily, next time if you're in a waiting room or in a queue, don't play your phone -- if something takes less than two minutes do it immediately

Hello, your tips work really work for someone like me - someone who procrastinates often, gets bored easily, hates routines - to think that I can tie my IDENTITY into someone who's self-disciplined sounds waaay better forcing ourselves to be someone we're not! also, I love the lose aversion tip as well, since most of my motivation surges when I'm close to the deadline, which means that i fear of NOT submitting the work on time. 😂😂 Thank you Campbell, this motivated me to work on my digital art 😀

Same here I get bored and frustrated easily and procrastinate bad, and it was so hard for me to accept no life can not always be fun and I do need to do this. But it was more of a bitter and angry self talk than one with understanding and love.

[@mariesdiariesss]

@@mrs.quills7061 Ahhh I understand that! As a high schooler whenever I procrastinate, at the end of day near the deadline I'll always think to myself "uGh why didn't I do it earlier" and self-criticize and such 😭 But we should try to turn that self-criticizing to self-love, or else we would feel FORCED to not procrastinate!

I love self development content and consume it wherever I can get it, and while I take what I can from it and ignore what won't work for me because of my illness it wears on me a bit to feel invisible.

Thank you so much for re-framing discipline for me. The concept of discipline used to be so toxic and destructive for my mental health that I effectively abandoned it. Now I realize, that wasn't discipline, it was me torturing myself into obedience.

[@nahbruvv238]

This came at just the right time, I've been really struggling to stay (my idea of) disciplined ~ That part you said about toxic self discipline making you feel guilt and shame and drained really struck a cord with me - I think that's where I am now - i don't let myself rest when I'm not working because I don't want to be stuck here forever but i think I'm self sabotaging by not letting myself rest and my self care takes a hit from it - it makes me feel awful and I don't even benefit from any enhanced productivity lol usually I'm so drained, it has the opposite effect! ..but today I woke up and took my multi vitamin, I've eaten a good meal for breakfast and lunch and have got a healthy plan for dinner ( no skipping meals today!!! ) I snacked on some hummus and veg instead of crisps AND I haven't forced myself to do anything work related, I've just let myself rest :) i think these basic things will be hard to keep up with on work days but its a start, I'm so glad I have seen this video, theres a lot in this I can work with! I didn't realise self discipline doesn't mean i have to work like a machine all the time,

[@ShojiPanda]

Firstly thank you for another great video. Recently was able to get a copy of your book and love it! Re-watching this video and taking notes, just wanted to add a personal note to step 2 for myself and anyone else with chronic illness: when answering the questions about what a disciplined version of you would be like, make sure to include allowances for any illness, because that illness isn't going to magically disappear and let you be a non-chronically ill person. And that doesn't mean you can't accomplish things. I find it helpful to look at examples of other people with similar struggles to mine who are accomplishing something they wanted to(for me specifically that includes chronically ill artists as I would like to start an online art shop). It's refreshing to see how they take their health in to consideration so they don't burnout and exasperate their illness. Sometimes only seeing examples of healthy people can be discouraging because it is all too easy to fall in to the trap of comparison. Be kind to yourself peeps.

[@e-genieclimatique]

in brief: In this video, the speaker shares their transformation story and how they developed discipline. Here's a summary of the key points: 1. Reframe discipline as a function of self-love: Discipline stems from self-love, and by treating ourselves well, we develop more self-respect and discipline. 2. Make discipline part of your identity: Visualize the disciplined version of yourself and make it an inevitable part of your identity. 3. Reflect your new identity in your environment: Create an environment that supports your disciplined self by surrounding yourself with reminders of who you want to become. 4. Internalize the threat of not doing this: Use loss aversion as a motivator, such as putting money on the line if you fail to follow through on a commitment. 5. Have a good system to start things: Develop starting systems and eliminate friction to make it easier to initiate disciplined actions. 6. Have a good method to sustain things: Find a sustainable routine to avoid burnout and maintain your discipline over time. 7. Just do it: Practice discomfort training by doing small things that make you uncomfortable, which helps build discipline and willpower in other areas of your life.

Someone wrote this below but I wanted to second the thank you for recognizing the challenge of doing this when you deal with chronic illness or other limitations, or kids, etc. Doing the disciplined actions associated with those challenges zaps your energy sometimes and depletes it over the course of the day.

I discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago and after watching this video I ordered the book immediately. Every video I have watched so far has been insightful, non-judgemental and potentially very helpful except for that pesky little aspect called self-discipline... Which you addressed beautifully in this video. As an engineering master's student newly diagnosed with ADHD I definitely feel like I'm living life on hard mode (although with the white privileged European setting on) most days, feel tremendous frustration with myself for not achieving more just because I don't have the self-discipline to stick with things. And of course, this is uniquely difficult for people with ADHD, but that doesn't mean it isn't a goal worth pursuing and I now feel more motivated than ever to try and do something about it. Thank you Campbell, what you're doing really makes a difference.

Being early I just wanna drop by and say I really appreciate how much you go into detail with your tips and how genuine you are with them. As an Autist who totally burned themselves out last year from being too rigorous/overestimating, it's i.e. really helpful and motivating to have that acknowledgement and some concept for a follow-up plan. Alone for the sake of knowing that it's not a one-way road, but possible to find a balance, regardless of individual perspective and grey areas. Thank you!! And congratulations on becoming a father!☺️

I really appreciate hearing you say things like 'I don't have kids or a chronic illness' (I have both, and am still learning not to be awful to myself about no longer being able to do as much as I used to). Anyway, I don't hear enough people acknowledging that they might not have the same challenges as other people. I'm new to your channel but have been binge-watching your videos! So helpful, thank you.

So much truth in this one little video. Two related behaviours that have really being working for me for several months are, 1. Telling myself that I just need to ‘turn up’. I don’t need to do the task to perfection or for a long time, I just need to turn up to the task. Inevitably, the consistency creates impact. 2. Unexpectedly, COLOURING IN while listening to fictional audiobooks relaxes my mind and body better than anything. I believe it has a similar effect to mindfulness meditation but is so much easier to do, and for longer periods of time. I find historical fiction allows me to use this time to be learning something but is relaxing enough that it doesn’t engage high level processing like planning and analysing that non-fiction books tend to do.

i love how you put challenges and exercises in almost each step which makes me more motivated to build my self discipline!

[@tambeealgabbac1244]

Hi just wanted to say that I have been feeling lost in my thoughts lately and definitely lacking discipline. I found your vid to be genuine, relaxing and helping with getting my thoughts straight about my lack of disciple. So thank you man.

[@HIT029]

omg you have reached half a million....cool. i came across your video while searching for how to open a burger shop...lol...and this channel was only 2.3k....beleive it or not after years of planning, i am open...this channel always brings a smile and a good feel to me

[@KimbieGarcia]

I am so thankful to have come across this video. I took a self pace course online and have been slacking on finally taking the final exam… and It’s been weeks. Lol I wrote so much of what you said down and I’m going to put it next to my calendar and work space. Good luck to you on your own life journey! New sub!

I used to procrastinate in school all the time, then I tried starting a business and I procrastinated on that all the time. These days, while I certainly still procrastinate from time to time, I generally just find myself working without even realising it because I actually enjoy what I do. That thing you're doing in your spare time, maybe should be the main thing instead.

[@Kreetoh]

Really appreciate your videos brother. This one had me quite emotional as I felt frustrated and sad that I have been struggling with this for so long but also an overwhelming emotion of relief that there is hope and tangible ways to make these changes. Thanks for all the work you do 🙏

[@cerendevrimkarabulut1225]

i love how he always acknowledges these things can be hard for people who have chronic illnesses etc

I'm just lazy as f..... Nevermind it worked

[@missdoomerette]

me looking will smith talking abt discipline like o_o

[@gemmahaggerty6859]

Hello as I moved into my own self discipline journey I wanted to start a wellness blog- as a way to stay creative and talking about something that I work towards and enjoy. Your content is much like what I hope to achieve and I love to watch! You’re very engaging and the addition of humour is a HOOK. Keep it up dude you’re livin my dream

[@cassandradierschow4154]

I have read so many books and watched sooo many videos. Like an insane amount. Don't get me wrong I have come a long way and I am so proud of myself but lack in certain spots. Your way of looking at things is perfect in the most imperfect way. I just watched 10 of your videos in a row and have to comment (which I NEVER do) just in hopes you see this and see how much of an impact you are making on someone who has spent years on self improvement. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing.

[@sj4267]

These are my notes :) - Discipline: Discipline is self love. “I’m doing this because I love myself” - Respect: If you act like someone you respect you naturally begin to respect yourself. - Identity: Make it a part of your identity. Paint a clear picture of that person in detail. - Environment: Reflect the new identity and reduce friction in your environment. - Loss Aversion: Create loss aversion. Tools: Website Stick, Pay Upfront, Announce release date. - Discomfort Training: Practice intentionally doing challenging things even if small. 
 (Bonus: Dr. Huberman talks about closing loops which ties into this last step, tidying up, putting dishes away etc helps create dopamine and forward momentum)

[@stephaniemurray3771]

I do a similar thing to the "write about what you hate" advice. I'm in academia and it doesn't matter how much I love the topic I study (which is social insects, btw), I still don't feel like writing much of the time. So I just write it really begrudgingly sometimes. Calling the ants stupid, talking about shitty results, etc. Then I can clean it up later once the words are on paper. Great video!

[@m.f.5991]

Thank you so much for giving us this information in such a comforting way. My depressed ass has been struggling with self discipline and this makes it feel so much more attainable! I made lots of notes and I'm going to try all these methods out! Thank you for what you do :)

[@seanopenshaw]

I so needed to hear this! Thank you for taking the time to make this! It all resonated loudly!

[@Spooky_Nomad]

Great work as always! Love the re-framing of discipline into self-love, lots of useful tips to get started 👍

[@mudpawkendra]

Steve is such a great guy. I know I can be disciplined with Steve on my side.

[@bleupencil]

I just bingewatched a tonne of your videos (you're welcome). You are adorable and awesome and have learned everything I've been trying to understand in all the wrong ways. Thanks for speaking plainly and bless your little cotton socks for just existing ❤🙏

[@Betty-jp7sw]

I was literally about to search for a video like this... wow. I've been trying to create a study plan for learning two languages this year but had been unmotivated to start. Thanks for this.

[@yaguabina]

I have a playlist named "this is how", where I add actually useful (as opposed to motivational) content. It has more of your videos than anything else. I don't have a formal diagnose but I experience strong symptoms of ADHD and CPTSD, so all the typical "be successful" content has been pretty much useless to me. Today, thanks to you and my therapist I am closer than ever to living a life I love and making myself proud. Thank you so much! Sending you love and light ❤️

[@Amaretto44]

Self love has completely changed my life! As an angsty teenager, I NEVER thought I'd hear myself say that. Now that I'm an adult (taking care of myself), loving Me makes doing hard things so much easier. It also makes forgiving myself for not doing them easier :P Thank you for your content, I watch your videos with a notebook and pen. I have implemented some of your tips and my adhd brain is very thankful 🙌

[@nataliehagleitner90]

I love your videos man! I’m a freelance writer, doing a Master’s degree at the same time. I’m trying to keep a healthy work life balance but it’s so difficult and I feel like it all comes down to my lack of discipline. I’ve reached a point, where I’m sick of struggling through life because of constantly feeling that I’m just wasting my time without actually working on my goals. Your advice and authenticity really resonates with me and motivates me to really try to establish some healthy habits for myself! Cheers and greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

[@raylingomen2562]

So I do have chronicle illness.... and 5 kids which I homeschool (half of them at least)..... and I'm going to school (only part time though).....😅 not playing easy mode! But structure and self discipline is not a steering suit of mine and that needs to change! I love what you said about self discipline being self love, and about having a 9-5 "job", that is the reframe I think I've been needing, having a job that is literally 24/7 has left me without parameters, but saying I have to get specific things accomplished within set hours gives a framework to follow. Thanks for your videos!!!

[@lindsaycoetzee6815]

Super motivational, thank you. I've implemented so many of your videos in my life. Love your videos, keep it up! Excited to see them often!

[@ceciliacardoso4331]

Just came here to say thanks for opening up on your videos, you've been helping me a lot on trying to figure out what works for me, since having adhd makes it harder to follow those "just do it" routines. its nice to know i can be successful in my own way :)
