Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing!
Consistency is the key when it comes to discipline, it doesn’t matter how talented you are, or how many opportunities you receive, to reach your goals you need consistency.
So, what is it that you want?
More time with your family?
To increase your overall productivity?
To declutter your wardrobes?
To re-decorate your house?
To create a work / life balance?
Here are 3 small tips to create consistency so you remain disciplined:
Firstly, align your methods of motivation to your personality…What do I mean, well what makes you tick?
I.e. Are you someone who is motivated by competitiveness and is driven by results?
OR
Are you someone who’s easily distracted so prefers to make things fun to keep you engaged?
OR
Are you someone who struggles to make decisions, so you enjoy working in collaboration with others?
Alternatively
Are you someone you seeks all the information before you make a decision, so you prefer to work with to-do lists?
Once you have an understanding of your personality type, you can then develop a routine that plays to your strengths.
Secondly, to reach your goals you need to grow personally (step out of your comfort zone), so make a list about the qualities you feel you need and then find a way to motivate yourself into developing these attributes.
i.e., You want to speak to an auditorium full of people about something you’re passionate about, yet your terrified of public speaking?
Could you start by speaking in front of a small group of friends and family, or perhaps take a course or class in public speaking?
Thirdly, the more ways you find to pursue your personal growth on a daily basis, the more likely you are to achieve your goals. Think of the immediate benefits as well as long-term ones.
I.e., if you like challenges, set yourself a time limit to try something new…
The more ways you find to enhance your preferred way of working, the more you’ll be motivated and grow.
