@Andy Wallam I fell into that trap too in the past and I found that all that information just paralyzes you.

@Andy Wallam I found it to be a game changer. Now I am more intentional with information that I consume.

My discipline principle for this year is to ask myself “Would my future self thank me for not sticking to my word or taking action on whatever it is I need to do?” I like to look at it as setting your future self up for success.

My exercise: lifting weights, core exercises, or cardio first thing in the morning before work. If sick, tired or depressed; reduce the volume to 2 – 3 exercises or a brisk walk Eating: high protein, drink water for every meal, no alcohol (that’s easy) no inflammatory foods (hydrogenated oils), plenty of greens and other veggies. Absolutely no unhealthy takeout most of the time and cook in bulk for dinners and lunches most nights

Morning - Go to the gym (Lift, do cardio, train core), Eat breakfast, get ready for work Two things that will derail my morning is looking at my phone before I wake up and going to bed late Evening shutdown: First unplug from using phone, brush my teeth, review my achievements for the day, plan for the next day, read my book for at least 10 minutes, sit in boredom until I fall asleep.

@Daniel Munro I always learned that discipline = freedom (Jocko Wilink).

• Health? I trained almost every day whether it’s weights, cardio, or core, and I ate clean most days of the week. • Career/finances? I found a better job and applied skills I learned from working with a career coach to further develop my career as a scientist. I learned enough about finances to improve my financial future. • Relationships and social life/skills? Overcame antisocial habits and began to build a personal life and socialize with other people that align with my core values. I made a consistent effort to socialize, led interactions, and learned to connect with people that doesn’t come from a needy place. • Psychology and mindset? I showed up for myself daily and poured my energy into my pursuits and chose not to waste my time on negativity and loathing about the past. I realized I am the leader of my life and what I want from it. • Mission and purpose? While there may not be a grand purpose yet, at least I became more of a person that I respect and needed when I was a lot younger.

@Hemi Rainford Learning the concept about small consistent actions remind me of my rowing days from high school. It's refreshing to have that as a reminder.
