Our life consists of a variety of things that we do habitually. In a study, it was concluded that everyone in a test group wanted to exercise more and feel better, but only 25% out of them made the change. The other wanted to do it as well, but did not. How is it that? The reason is that we have a hard time seeing the little things and behaviors that we do in a day. We need to take time to think to reflect.

Our brain is a bit like a cloudy bottle, and we want and are trained to make quick decisions, that result in short term happiness. If the bottle is allowed to stand for a while, the contents will stay clear. It’s the same with our brain. We need to take the time to sit still for 30-60 minutes and ”just” without noise, and think…So it’s just as easy to break a good habit as it is to create a bad one. Lets do a thought experiment -afterword’s a workout session, have you ever regret it? Regretted that you decided to work out? Now we come to the conclusion that we can build god habits, but it is more difficult than bad ones -why?

Because we need 1. Motivation and we also need 2. Discipline. And when it comes to this two there will be a divide. You will not always have the motivation – let’s take the workout session as example again, if you not are motivated -it can result in that you don’t do it. But when you got the self-discipline you will be doing it anyway…

The interesting thing if using the self-discipline you will be rewarded immediately. How you may ask -because you do what you have set to do. And a fact that we can recognize is that everything is hard until it gets easy. So if you keep doing tough and challenging tasks it will become easier. Overcoming obstacle also will give you some good advantage. When we do hard work or hard and tough exercise your brain will release endorphins, this will make you happy to practice self-discipline, to take control of yourself and do the right thing. You will feel good in the moment, and the effect in the future can be tremendously.

Now I might get you hooked on the way of live with self-discipline. But why it is so hard to get it? I think it is because you don’t have seen the good result, and that makes it difficult. So here is a plan for starting the way forward, first of all; create a habit takes 21 days, so for changing your life to something better something different all you need will be: yea the self-discipline. Well, its sounds easy so how to? Here I will give some help on the way forward, but why don’t start with the 30-60 minutes of just quite still thinking. This might sort out just your way ahead. Always remember your mind steer your body, so it all starts with your mind. Always do a day plan, when you have the habit of planning your day, you will for sure achieve your wishes for your life.  Distinguish between what you want to do and what you need/should do, Do the hard, tedious tasks first…
