Why You Dont Need Willpower to Reach Your Goals

What if I told you DISCIPLINE is one of the greatest expressions of self-love?

I used to restrict myself so much. Especially in my eating habits and my social life. For so long I believed a lie that “I just didn’t have enough will power to accomplish _______.”

I was on a cycle of…⠀

👉🏼 Be rigid (it’s ALL or nothing!)⠀

👉🏼 Fall off track (be miserable)⠀

👉🏼 Beat myself up (feel guilty about it)⠀

👉🏼 Crush my own self-esteem⠀

👉🏼 Be even MORE rigid⠀

👉🏼 Fall off track (be miserable)⠀

… you get the point

But I never gave up wanting to identify and go to work on the road blocks standing in my way of being the BEST version of myself.⠀

When I learned to love, heal and forgive myself, it became a habit for me to be patient and gracious with myself. And now in moment to moment choices, in the smallest decisions, I WANT to stay disciplined on the things I know will get me where I want to go.

And here’s another key point I had to learn the hard way… 

It’s not about forcing a miserable and rigid life on myself, but it IS about…⠀

👀 Honoring my own word and the commitments I make to myself (this is the #1 thing that helped me build self-confidence).

🥗 Listening to my body and choosing the foods and movement that I know it loves to do⠀

👏🏼 Saying YES to hanging out with people that bring positive energy. It brings out the best ME so I can bring out the best in THEM!⠀

🥳 Enjoying new spontaneous adventures that bring me joy and spark more creativity, ease, fun and F L O W⠀

Once you build the habit of self-love being your daily method of operation, watch… you will WANT and CRAVE to do the things that keep you on track.⠀

Give it a shot and report back!
