discipline beats motivation. make it just something you do, not something to be considered and decided.
you don't need a pep talk for every little thing.
Not to fully disagree here, because sometimes we all need to do things we don't want, but I don't want to live a life where everyday requires unyielding discipline just to get up.
Maybe you're talking more about habits, than forcing yourself to live through another awful day.
I agree wholeheartedly. If you know how to build habits, habits can be fun and they can be tied to living a meaningful life! Tiny Habits, the book and framework, changed my life for the better.
What makes you able to do this?
Iβm not who you asked, but for me itβs that I have a person and several animals who depend on me. Iβd never succeed if I had to do it for myself.
