Notes: Discipline is the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses. It is the ability to pursue what is right despite temptations to abandon it. It is also striving toward an ultimate life goal. - Need a balance of self-discipline and self-compassion to be successful. - Know when to push and when to rest. - Forgiving yourself for setbacks is crucial to 'getting back on the horse'. Failure to forgive yourself up-front will delay the process of getting back to work.
I've never associated discipline with compassion. This is an eye opener for me to give myself more grace with this journey of self discipline. Discipline has always been a challenging journey but never impossible. Thank you for this perspective.
Hearing your insight on making excuses vs being genuinely too burnt out to do the thing you don’t want to do… omg. Game changer. Thank you so much. I’ve alwayssss struggled to figure out how to tell the difference between letting myself rest and just being unmotivated.
my trick for discipline is to add something to the mix that I want, give that to myself (today it was literally cookies and milk) and from there, I got some sewing in for a garment. That and listening to this podcast 🍿
I loved this take on discipline, especially about knowing how to draw the line between discipline and rest. I always struggle between the balance of pushing myself too hard in some areas but not enough in others. Amazing episode, def one imma come back to when I need the motivation!!
I've been struggling with procrastination throughput my life, like most people. However in 2025 it was worse cs of mental health and as a result I didn't finish my last year of school. What made things worse was hearing abt my failure from my mum. Although she was coming from a good place it made it so much harder to change since I didn't believe in myself. U NEED FAITH IN URSELF TO HAVE MOTIVATION. IF U DON'T EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE REWARD U WON'T REACH IT. (That was my biggest takeaway from this year after realizing I never even believed I'd cross the finish line after falling off, essentially I never got back on the horse ie motivation, the secret spice). I told her continuesly that she was making things worse and she never changed. How tf do I get her off my back in the future or how do I push past her remarks cs I don't want history to repeat. Cs it actually affected me so much. Like my failure is on me but I believe I would've been able to figure it out over the period of a year had I not had someone else's yap yap yap in my ear.
this is the same person who "is known for not washing her hands after using the bathroom".... sounds like shes repeating what shes heard from a ton of others before.
i did know how to have discipline but didn't know how to pause and show self-compassion ... et voilà ... entered my burn-out era real quick.
Yep! This is something I don't here a lot of people talking about. You need the balance or you're going to crash.
Self love is what helped me, please look into it it changed my life!😊❤ And it's a proces so please don't get discouraged❤
THIS!! this isn’t talked enough 🙌

I recently heard someone say they replaced the word discipline with the phrase “disciple to yourself’
Emma is putting me through my second spiritual awakening with this one ..

No pre-workout just play an Emma video and you’re good to go
I think you need to make yourself a little upset though, otherwise next time you might more easily slip into "oh I need a rest"
