• USE REWARDS

Positive reinforcement is a great way to make sure that your new habits stick around. So, don’t be afraid to reward yourself for improving. People will do certain things if they know that they will be rewarded for doing that thing. Rewards will also motivate them to work harder by giving them something positive to look forward to. This is especially useful to people who are having a hard time getting their new habits started because they haven’t developed enough self-discipline to push through the beginning stages.

• PERSONAL STANDARDS

Disciplined people often motivate themselves to keep them pushing by strictly hearing to a set of standards for their own life. Standards are personal limits that layout the absolute minimum that you are willing to accept for your life. But these kinds of boundaries only work if you are willing to hold yourself accountable when you break them. This is where most people struggle. Because they end up setting high standards that are impossible to meet consistently. It’s important to remember that standards and goals are not the same things. While goals are the things you work and reach for overtime, you should be able to meet the standards every single day.

Why are personal standards more useful?

Most people tend to have an ordinary approach to their goals. Either they get it done immediately, or just give up. So, by setting standards you give a reason to keep working even when you aren’t able to achieve your goal.

• LOOK AHEAD

After you have identified your weaknesses are, you must realize when you are putting yourself in dangerous situations. For example, if you want to stop getting distracted at the time of work, turn on airplane mode on your mobile and put it aside. Of course, there will be situations where you can’t avoid your smartphone. So make it easier on yourself by planning.

Figure out what you’re going to do to avoid falling back into old habits and find a way to reward yourself for resisting the tempt. This kind of planning

not only helps you stay on track but also gives you a sense of control over your life.

• SET ALARMS

Time is a slippery soap when it comes to bad habits. if you tend to watch too much tv or play too many video games or waste hours on social media .you know how easy it is to justify spending a few more minutes to complete a mission or watch the rest of an episode. But a few minutes can turn into a few hours and before you knew it you used up the whole night. You can use moderation to get rid of this problem.

The real problem here is how much time you spend on them. In other words, you can keep playing the games you love as long as you stay within a set time limit. The goal here is to force yourself to physically acknowledge when you have hit your limit and stop there. If you want to make it more strict, put the alarm across the room so that you have to put the controller down and stand up to turn it off. A short walk will make you feel that you need to stop doing that thing immediately.

• MAKE ADJUSTMENTS

Every person’s path towards developing self-discipline is unique. Sure, there are a lot of various specific methods out there which have worked wonders for other people. But that doesn’t necessarily mean go through the same things for you. Elon Musk may have developed the self-discipline to boost his productivity. But other successful people may find this method suffocating and unproductive. So instead of just copying what your favorite celebrity is doing, build a routine that is designed for your goals and strengths, and weaknesses. If you know that you are significantly more energetic at night, don’t force yourself to work out first thing in the morning just because other people preferred it that way.

As long as you are consistently setting and achieving goals you’ll develop the kind of unbreakable self-discipline that you’re looking for.
