Does Personal Discipline Work?

Have you ever wondered why you could start everything, but finish nothing? Although this may be an exaggeration for most, I do think that most people can relate to this feeling. And from the new years resolution, to that realization that I need to pay bills, workout, or lose weight, I get that same feeling over and over. I can get even more frustrated when I see someone I know make it seem so easy!

So, in true human fashion, I've come up with a theory to explain this mysterious and baffling behavior: What if discipline is a myth, and those that 'discipline' themselves are really just choosing goals that are in the path of their pre-existing motivations? Those that are driven by 'discipline' may feel that I'm describing a magic bullet here, but I'm not. It's just as much work whether or not your motivations are engaged, but you now have the fuel to do the work. So, to those that are able to use their pre-existing motivations to drive the new goal it may feel like 'discipline', but without that motivator, 'discipline' just isn't enough.

And the next question for me becomes, 'How do I get my pre-existing motivators to drive my new goal?' First I need to figure out what my existing motivators are. And trust me on this one, your words and desires aren't the clue here... it's what you do. Look at all the things that you do and figure out how they benefit you. What do they do for you? What if everything we do gives us exactly the emotional return it is supposed to?

Second, I need to connect my new goal to my motivators. Easy to do, if you know how. Those that are able to do anything they put their mind to have already discovered how to do this for themselves. Others, like me, need someone to teach how it's done. And that's not always easy, because I think that is where the inspiration for 'discipline' came from. Those that do this naturally feel that it's as easy as sitting down and getting to work, not even noticing how they connected their motivator to the goal. For them it is an assumption and they can't even comprehend those that can't.

And this is yet another reason why I love hypnosis. The skilled hypnotist knows how to connect your motivator to your goal, and also knows how to teach you to do it for yourself! Imagine how good it would feel to be able to do anything you 'put your mind to', and being successful at it. I wonder how good it would feel to be able to say, 'I did it!'
