Motivation vs Discipline: What Really Gets You to Your Goals

In this episode of Redefining Motherhood, I discuss the difference between willpower and discipline. For so long, I believed that my success was due to sheer willpower, but over time I realized the key was developing discipline.

Understanding the Difference Between Willpower and Discipline

So, let's start by breaking down the difference between willpower and discipline. Willpower is like those little bursts of energy we get to do something, but discipline is all about making a choice – deciding to create habits and actions that help us reach our big goals. Unlike motivation, which comes and goes, discipline is like a compass that helps us stay on track, no matter what's going on around us.

In our busy lives as moms, it's easy to just rely on willpower to get through the day. But true change happens when we build discipline – it's like laying a solid foundation for reaching our dreams. By choosing discipline, we're saying yes to making choices that help us grow and feel accomplished in the long run.

Develop Discipline: A Journey of Growth and Self-Discovery

Discipline isn't something we're born with – it's something we learn and get better at over time. It's like going on a journey of growth and getting to know ourselves better along the way. By being consistent and sticking with it, we become more disciplined, which helps us achieve so much more in life.

As we navigate careers and motherhood, it's important to remember that discipline isn't about following strict rules – it's about making choices that align with what we want in life. By starting each day with discipline in mind, we can make choices that help us feel amazing and live our best lives.

The Role of Discipline in Achieving Lasting Success

Here's the deal: Discipline isn't just about sticking to a schedule – it's about making choices that help us reach our biggest dreams. In this episode, I talked about how discipline is the secret sauce for reaching our goals and staying healthy. By choosing discipline, we're setting ourselves up for success.

Navigating Life's Challenges with Grace and Resilience

Life can be crazy sometimes, right? But with discipline, we can handle whatever comes our way with grace and strength. Whether we're dealing with busy schedules, setbacks, or tough times, it helps us stay calm, focused, and ready for anything.

Embracing the Journey of Discipline: Progress Over Perfection

As I wrap up this discussion, I want to leave you with this thought – being disciplined isn't about being perfect; it's about making progress. Every little step we take toward being more disciplined is like getting closer to our biggest dreams as moms and women.
