Let's start by decluttering our time

What keeps us from being motivated and self-disciplined when we know we need or want to do something, but we just can't force our self to do it? You know, those days when you literally don't have the energy to even start.

Unfortunately there is no quick fix for everyone. We're all different. We're in different places in our lives with different circumstances. There is no one magic wand that we can wave to fix it.

Fortunately it's good to know we are not alone. Most people feel this way at some time or another. And because of that, there are many solutions. Some will work for you, some won't. Hopefully in reading these posts or even the quotes I've attached, something will resonate with you.

Take a moment to think about your life.

What is holding you back?

Are you too tired, too busy, too overwhelmed?

Keep in mind that I'm not trying to motivate you to do something you don't want to do. I'm talking about helping you motivate yourself to do something you DO want to do.

Think about some of the things you do every day.

Are there any thing's on your to do list that you don't want to do?
And of those things you don't want to do, are there things you could just say no to?
Are there things you could delegate?
Are there things you could share with someone else - such as carpooling the kids to school or ball practice?
How about assigning chores to the kids. (Believe it or not, this helps them be more self-motivated when they're adults.)

If you make time for what you want to do by removing things you don't want to do, wouldn't that help motivate you?

Think about this today.

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships. I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...

Building Self-Discipline; Step 1

So how do we build self-discipline? First we figure out where we need self-discipline in our life. What are the areas in your life that you are struggling with? These are usually things you want to do, but for some reason you don't do them. Here are some ideas. Exercising, cooking meals, laundry, networking, de-cluttering, organizing your desk at work, yoga, meditation... the list could go on and on. Think about your list for a minute. Now, write down 2 or 3 things that you know you want to do, but keep putting off. These are things that you know would make an impact in your life. Now, next to each item, write down why you're not doing them AND why you want to do them. # selfdiscipline # lifehack # gettingstuffdone # liveyourbestlife #jimrohnquote MW Copyright 2017

How would self discipline benefit you?

Picture your life a year from now if you actually accomplished the things on your list. How would this benefit your life? Seriously, just stop, close your eyes and imagine a year from now. For the past year you have ______. (Fill in the blank with something from your list.) # selfdiscipline # livingyourbestlife # lovingyourlife # happiness # workhard # besuccessful
