What is it you're struggling with?

What starts it?

Is it, is it food?

Is it a night out with the homies?

Is it, uh, you miss a couple workouts, all of those things, even though it might seem like nothing, that's where the slip starts.

And so, uh,

This idea that you can just become disciplined and you're gonna stay disciplined your entire life is not real for most people.

Discipline is a perishable skill and it's totally normal to go in and out.

And that's why we have to be aware that it's a perishable skill so that we can recognize when it starts to happen and keep the slide from going any further immediately, all right?

And when we think about like,

what people mostly think about discipline.

Most people think discipline is something that they're born with or something that they can create, but then we'll stick.

And neither one of those things is true.

Okay.

Discipline comes from the repetitive action of holding a standard that is high and that retrains your brain to acknowledge when things are hard for you to push through them anyway.

And,

That that's just not a natural thing for people to be aware of based upon, you know, how we're taught about discipline and what most people think it is.

Like I said, you know, people think that, you know, you're either born with it or you're not.

I thought that for a long time or that once you have it, it stays.
