Discipline Over Motivation: Control Your Response
Disconnect your feelings from your actions; motivation can provide a boost, but discipline drives results, especially when motivation wanes. Recognize that while you may not control events in your life, you do have some influence over your responses to those events. Understand that pain doesn’t always indicate tissue damage—it can be a result of various factors such as stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. It's crucial to manage these factors and gradually expose yourself to discomfort to build resilience. Most limitations stem from behavior and habits, not a lack of knowledge. To improve, reflect on your goals versus your actions; ensure they align, and adjust either your objectives or behaviors compassionately, avoiding self-criticism that can hinder progress.
