9 Powerful Ways to Increase Self-Discipline & Achieve Your Goals
At this time of the year, most of us are looking back at what we achieved last year and what we would like to achieve this year. This reflection period helps us understand why we might have failed to reach certain milestones.
Personally, one of my draw backs was lack of self-discipline. My goals were clear, realistic and achievable, but I was simply unable to be consistent enough in putting in the work. Sometimes I would start and eventually slow down until I gave up.
I had fitness goals, signed up for a gym that was very close, invested in some cute gym wear and equipment, and went to the gym religiously for a few weeks until my discipline ran out and I simply stopped.
I wanted to read and write more, so I bought more books and ended up reading just the first 20 pages of the first book. My notes app is saturated with ‘writing ideas’ I had. My laptop is loaded with drafts from when I attempted to write but didn’t get around to finishing most of the pieces.
These are just some examples of the things I wanted to achieve, but thanks to poor self-discipline, they are still on my goals list for this year again.
Looking back at these unachieved goals, I am not proud of myself. But I know that there are certain things I need to change if I hope to make things different this year. Achieving self-discipline is one of those things…
How to Recognize Your Emotional Triggers Before They Control You
Ever notice how one comment, one look, or one tiny inconvenience can flip your mood in seconds?
You’re fine… then suddenly you’re irritated, defensive, shut down, or snapping at someone who doesn’t deserve it. And afterward, you’re left thinking, Why did that hit me so hard?
That’s the power of emotional triggers.
Most of us like to believe we’re in control of our reactions. But the truth is, a lot of our emotional responses happen on autopilot. They’re fast. Instinctive. Almost invisible until the damage is already done. And then comes the regret, the overthinking, or the awkward apology.
But here’s the good news: emotional triggers don’t control you because you’re weak or “too emotional.” They control you because you haven’t learned to recognize them yet…
One Positive Action
Create A Default
Your brain makes hundreds of small decisions every day, and many of these choices are miniscule on their own, but together they quietly drain your energy. By the time you get to the things that actually matter, you are already tired.
A default is a decision you make once so you do not have to keep making it again. Creating one default in your day eliminates wasted time, drained energy, and decision fatigue. It also builds consistency without relying on motivation. Setting a default is focused on choosing one area where decision-making feels unnecessary and simplifying it on purpose.
A default could be eating the same breakfast on weekdays. It could be an outfit formula you trust and repeat. Maybe a set time block where you do focused work before checking messages. It could even be a short end-of-day reset you always do before shutting down.
Choose one daily decision that feels repetitive or draining and turn it into a default. Decide once and commit to using that choice for the week. Notice how much lighter your day feels when one small decision no longer asks for your energy.
