hi Tribers! You probably heard it before… but it’s worth looking into it as a habit breakdown.
Ra-ra motivation wears out and then what? Back to square one.
Relatable?
I believe that playing piano taught me not just how to relax and meditate, taking a brake from everything else, but also - consistency and discipline.
And I practice these daily. They aren’t just one and done with… like brushing your teeth… it’s called maintenance.
I brush and floss twice a day - not cuz I like it but cuz it’s good for me.
Same w physical activity, getting into my Joy Zone by playing music, meditation and here is this:
🤯 I GET UP AT 4am every morning!!!! To a lot of people this is mindblowing. I don’t do it because I am an “early person”. I am not!!!!!!!!! I’d sleep until noon! And I have… I do it to practice my discipline (just like my cold showers, I strongly dislike cold btw) and consistency.
This beats absolutely anything else when it comes to your Joy and Success!!!!! But step further, let’s not even talking about competition here. I wouldn’t say it beats it but more like - amplifies EVERYTHING that is good for you and you want more of.
My Spanish lessons are another example. I do them daily for 777 days straight now and I am normally winning their highest level each week… But for me, it isn’t the winning that I am on top of the diamond league’s tournament competing against others, that drives me - but it’s the fact that I showed up another day and did my best. So I am competing w myself only, and am better than yesterday - every day…
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
Consistency & discipline are habits that we build. If I can do it - you can, too… look into it. You can’t just use the lame excuse “oh I am not disciplined enough to be consistent” - that’s BS!!!! I am naturally very inconsistent & the opposite of disciplined….
I do practice these daily cuz I am getting better at them!!! Just like everything else (practicing an instrument, for example) - you get better w practice….
The most successful people practice those habits daily. They are habits! Not talents… and certainly do not come naturally to most people.
Thoughts?
Share!
I am curious of some of your habits you practice!
