HOW TO SHED PAST BAD HABITS
 


You're not undisciplined - you just have allowed the habit of being that way.



Know that this is a choice.



Be aware of your excuses and justifications. (ADHD, fatigue, etc.) 



The undisciplined habit 



-Optional



-Procrastination



-Lacking belief



-Now focused instead of future-focused



The good news - habits can be changed.



They're only strong because you've repeated them a whole bunch.



Are you willing to do the work to repeat them? 


 
HOW TO HAVE MORE DISCIPLINE
 


Stop relying on willpower (it's like strengthening your pinkie)



Set up systems where things are easy



Know why what you do matters 



Separate yourself from "average"



Create accountability - group accountability and accountability to your future-self



Work on your internal belief



Commit to the compound effect - the belief that your efforts of investment always pay off


 
HOW TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE
 


Know the benefit --- more done in less time.



Know that you can be - and operate from the emotion of inspiration and excitement, not pressure, guilt, and shame



Calendar your week.



Allocate a time spot for everything - including rest and workouts and fun time.



Brain dump all your tasks.



Gamify things and reward yourself.



Do what you do best and pay someone else to do the rest.

I have a high capacity to get a lot done in a little amount of time.



I am becoming a more focused person.



I am the boss of my time and I am a good boss.



I use my time efficiently and so I create more free time to enjoy life on purpose.

LISTENER OF THE EPISODE
 


My name is Michelle Meza, and I was delighted to join your How to Trust Yourself Workshop yesterday. I was actually the last person who raised a question, sharing a bit of my journey as a Peruvian-American, first-generation citizen (and native Spanish speaker!) currently working as a political appointee in the Administration.



I am thrilled to share that, determined to put a stronger follow-through to my self-commitments into practice, I JUST SIGNED UP to the COC. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity and for sharing such powerful life-changing lessons, which I have already started applying to my daily ritual with self-affirmations this morning.



All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you for irradiating such light and confidence, which made me realize that it was about time to release my own.



See you in The College!



With gratitude,



Michelle
