🌻 discipline - helps moving forward, always positive & grounded

Hi all, I'd like to share how & why I disciplined myself into being disciplined :)

First, I'd like you to know, that naturally I am the most undisciplined person I know... And I know a lot of people lol... But some time ago, I realized that, in order to become the person I prefer to be, I need that one dialed in. And other things too! Such as responsibility, self integrity and commitment... supporting my highest values of joy, growth & contribution.

I started small and slow - cold showers & breath work (Wim Hof) and daily routines.

Even when touring - routines are kept (very important! Cuz it keeps me grounded). That does require a solid amount of discipline as the easiest thing is to ditch your routines when traveling.

Nowadays - I get up at 4 am every single day, go over my mourning practices (usually takes 1.5-2 hours) which include yoga, meditation, tai-chi, breath work, affirmations and going over my long term goals.

I do this 3 times a day but the morning one is more extensive.

After morning routine - coffee and then screens.

In the afternoon I do 3 hours of hiking (sometimes replaced with mountain biking when the weather is favorable) with my dogs - quality time spent together with the family. This only doesn't happen when I am on tour.

On Mondays I pre badge a bunch of home made cooked by me yummies for the week and always a huge bowl of Ro salad that lasts the entire week. I am sure to have in this salad all vitamins and nutrients possible. It varies but here is a sample - spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, any fruits and always oranges, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, black pepper, lemon juice and sea salt.

Always present in my day is making music and playing music - I grew up as a concert pianist and taught myself how to play all kinds of instruments and continue to this day learning more (currently practicing circular breathing for my didgeridoos), I also produce music and DJ.

Always present in my day is learning a new language - until I know it - and then pick up the next... I know 6 languages and currently learning Spanish and am on a 900 day streak :)

Always present in my day is maintaining my communities - the tribe and goosify and always helping anyone with whatever i can. My clients are also flexible and while we have weekly tentative meetings, these are also flexible.

So, to sum up, the discipline of having routines and specific things in each day, gives me the freedom of living my best life without been restricted in any way.

For me, discipline is something I chose the meaning of it and stick to those choices each and every day.

I don't have to do anything. I GET TO DO ANYTHING I WANT.

Nowadays, I constantly receive compliments on how disciplined I am by my inner circle...lol who me?? I just smirk... It's by design... I'd sleep all day up to 5 pm... But I don't! Cuz I am practicing my discipline. Cuz the keeps me healthy, laser sharp, successful, resourceful, joyful, self integral, responsible, committed and free!

What are your thoughts on discipline? Do you have any tips, tricks or do you think you need more of it or nah? Share!
