Discipline doesn’t mean grinding nonstop with zero enjoyment forever.
If you never reward yourself, discipline feels like pure punishment.
That’s why building rewards into the system keeps you consistent.
It’s like training a muscle — rewards make the reps easier.
I used to think rewards meant I was being weak.
But actually, they help lock habits in for the long run.
For me, documenting on yt & in this community is a reward in itself.
I get to share the progress, reflect, and celebrate small wins publicly.
Sometimes it’s even something simple like watching a show guilt-free.
That little reward makes it easier to show up tomorrow again.
Discipline works best when it’s paired with something that feels good.
Rewards remind you the journey should be enjoyable, not miserable.
Small wins + small rewards = habits that actually stick longer.
Discipline isn’t just about sacrifice — it’s about smart sustainability.
What’s a small reward you use to keep going?
