1. Define a clear goal.

Without a clear goal it is hard to define exactly what you want. Your mind doesn’t need an invitation to procrastinate. Begin to visualise what it is you really want. Writing down your goal will help to bring it into reality.

2. Establish a clear plan.

You may know what it is you want but if you don’t know how to achieve it, the chances are, you will fail. Outline a plan that breaks down each individual step you will need to attain your goal. Small steps lead to big changes.

3. Strengthen your self confidence.

One thing the successful in society all have in common is self confidence. You need to develop the mindset that you are good enough to achieve what you set out to, otherwise why even try ? You can do this.

4. Build habits.

Habits make life 10x easier. The more you have to think about what you’re doing the greater chance that your mind will start to wonder. Systems and habits remove the guessing and give you a clear step by step process to follow.

5. Evaluate your time.

You often hear people say “I don’t have time” when in reality they go to work then spend the rest of their night mindlessly scrolling. Plan out your day, there is enough time to enjoy yourself while also getting the important tasks done.

6. Start small.

Often when you lack discipline, it is down to thinking that you have to do it all at once. Learn to break down tasks into manageable pieces. You’ll find that you get more done and be pleasantly surprised at how much more enjoyable it is.

7. Look after yourself

Strong mental and physical health will aid in your battle to destroy a lack of self discipline. Develop a positive self talk process as well as making sure you eat well and exercise on a regular basis. Movement will help clear your mind.

8. Hold yourself accountable.

You can always ask friends or family to hold you accountable but what happens when they are not there ? Developing self accountability puts you in control. You can identify your triggers and deal with them accordingly. Master your own destiny.

9. Consistency is key.

Look, there will be days that don’t workout as planned but don’t let this ruin your overall plan. Get back in the game and bring the victory home.
