while i do practice extreme ownership to create change in my life, i don’t believe in using discipline. heres why:
if a task requires discipline, it means you’re working against the subconscious mechanisms you created to function, ignoring wounds that need healing and/or cutting off from your intuition
discipline is often a tool of self-abandonment
for many, discipline is just a way to repeat the patterns of neglect and exploitation we were raised with until we can truly heal and learn from them
your fear and resistance is a message, and to push through and ignore it is to disconnect from your inner guidance and self-compassion
but if you create actual change within the motivational mechanisms in your subconscious, behaviour changes effortlessly
you can work out, start a business, or clean your house because you enjoy it
you might have to face some uncomfortable feelings, but often it’s just once, and your identity and personality and habits change for good
