How do you maintain your discipline
Disclaimer: There isn't a section on the forum that this question can fall into nicely so I have decided to post it in the lounge, however it's not for bullshitting or joking around in... I'm only interested in genuine, helpful responses.
So as the question says.... How do you maintain your discipline? I'm perhaps not asking about motivation.... as it is easy to do something you want to do. I'm talking about when you really don't want to get out of bed on a morning when it's freezing cold to hit the gym, or when your life is so busy that you want to go home and eat shit but go to the gym instead....It doesn't have to just be discipline towards the gym or eating right..... just how do you make sure shit gets done?

For me, every day starts and ends the same, which helps immensely. I wake up at 2:30-3:00 (I don’t use an alarm, so it varies a bit), pee, weigh myself, down 20 oz. of water with 1.5g salt and 1.5g potassium salt in it, start my coffee, and pace around while reading whatever novel I’m currently engrossed in until it’s time to leave for work, or eat then train.
At night, I’m done eating before the sun goes down (so it varies by time of year), kick back reading said novel, and off ti bed by 6:30-7:30, depending upon when I nod off.
Everything else during the day may vary a bit, but those two timeframes are constant for me.

This attitude is precisely why Stan Efferding is so big on the statement “if you took your dedication, knowledge and focus for the training and nutrition and applied it to a business venture, you could be a millionaire in a decade”.
Pretty strong words from a guy who’s repeatedly done just that, in about five different areas of commerce.
