Hello Friends,
I had made a video for you about motivation and discipline before.
And I told you that discipline is more important than motivation.
Of course, it is easier said than done.
Many people don't know how to gain discipline already.
I, for all my life, was a guy who was mostly disciplined about sports.
But, there was something that made it easier for me.
I already loved doing sports.
I was always involved in sports and enjoyed that.
I always tried different things.
But, this is not the case for everyone.
Later on in my life, I had to face something that I had to get disciplined about.
I was doing sports but I wasn't eating clean.
This kept me going till the age of 25-26.
So I wasn't gaining weight as long as I was exercising no matter what I eat.
I was able to maintain my physique.
But, as I get older, slowly I began to gain weight.
I even got fat in a year.
Then, I realized that I had to put things in order about nutrition the same way as I developed self discipline about training.
And I developed some tactics about this.
So, I am gonna talk about these things while giving my own real life examples.
CREATING A HABIT.
If your goal is to gain self discipline about a subject then this should be your final destination.
Because, instead of grinding every day, doing a simple daily task is much easier.
For example, when it comes to dieting,
if you choose a diet plan that you can continue doing in the long term, instead of one that gives you fast results but is also not sustainable,
you decrease the chance of losing the results you accomplished.
Because, you can continue doing that.
Also, it will be easier for you to do that every day.
To create a habit, you have to do the same thing again and again for a long period of time.
So, the more you set it as a life style, the more you adapt it to your daily life,
the easier it will be for you to do it again and again for days.
ON THE MOVE!
Your workout or nutrition plan, it doesn't matter how perfect they are, if you don't apply them, they are all garbage.
This is where most of the people get stuck when they are trying to motivate themselves.
They are trying to make wonderful plans, they are struggling with too many details.
They are OVER ANALYZING.
But, at the end of the day they don't put it into action.
Right or wrong, it may has small errors, take a step for your plan no matter how small it is.
Repeat tomorrow, and the day after.
If you continue exercising your plan like this, step by step, you will not only make progress
but also this plan will turn into a habit for you.
And after turning it into a habit, things will get much easier.
You have a plan, you began to exercise it.
It is a progress that goes day by day.
But, human beings are emotional. Every day is not the same.
Different instincts may effect you.
For instance, you wake up in the morning, you have a diet plan,
there are things you should eat and there are things that you should not eat.
Let's say you wanted to eat something that you should not.
In this case, THINK!
STOP AND THINK!
For a moment, think and remember you long term goal.
If you do this, because you will also think about the effort you gave, you won't do that mistake.
Or, the exact opposite;
your plan was to go out for a run in the morning.
But, when you wake up you didn't want to.
In cases like this, get into action immediately!
Get out!
If you think, negative thoughts, the laziness of your mind, withhold you from getting into action.
Stop thinking immediately, move on.
So, if you are facing instincts that are against your goals, STOP AND THINK!
But, if there is a task waiting in front of you, DON'T THINK AND GET INTO ACTION!
DON'T MAKE THINGS COMPLICATED!
Of course, you should have a long term plan.
But, don't think too much about the long term details of the plan.
Just focus on your actual task.
If you only over analyze, you may skip or quit.
At this point I am going to do self criticism.
If you have noticed, the first parts of this video was taken in cold weather.
But, don't get fooled by the rain, it is summer now.
I didn't follow this principle for this video.
As a result of this, the production of the video was delayed.
Why didn't I follow this principle?
Because I had many things to tell you about this subject.
And, I over analyzed to put the things that I wanted to say together.
So, the video was delayed.
But, instead of doing this, if I had packaged the things I had already said and left the rest for another video,
meaning finishing my actual task, I would have already said something to you.
Unfortunately, I am just doing this.
That means, there will be a sequel to this video.
I hope, the things I told you in this video will be helpful to you.
I will be glad if you write your comments on what you think about the things I said.
Because, if any of you apply them I would like to know your experiences.
Thanks for watching.
See you again.
