10 Habits of Highly Disciplined People

If you can master discipline then you can achieve just about anything you set in your sights. At certain times, remaining disciplined comes to us more easily than others.

Here are 10 habits of highly disciplined people that you can start emulating today:

1. Commit.

Be true to your word. When you make a decision to do something, it’s set in stone, and stick to it. It will build your reputation and encourage others around you to operate at their best potential

2. Avoid temptation.

Make choices to be around people and activities that will set you up for success. Avoid peer pressure that encourages you to break routine or be undisciplined

3. Take care of yourself.

Things like sleep, good nutrition and exercise are non-negotiable. The impact these areas have on other aspects of your well-being (mood, work performance and relationships) are intertwined.

4. Develop habits.

It takes time to establish habits. Have zero tolerance for excuses and cutting corners. Be consistent

5. Set boundaries.

To lead a disciplined life, you need to know your limitations, especially when it comes to your time. Setting boundaries and saying no to things you don’t want to do or that are distractions makes room to accomplish what is essential and important in each day.

6. Revel in routine.

Routine is the cornerstone of discipline, especially when it comes to efficiency and time management.

7. Mind over mood.

Don’t let your feelings — such as not being in the mood to go to the gym on any given morning — get in the way of actually going. Stay focused on the routine and stick to it.

8. Clearly define goals.

All this discipline makes you a high-achieving person - so set more goals. The more specific the goals on your to-do list are, the better.

9. Live by deadlines.

Use your calendar to set strict timelines using clear mini goals and milestones as markers to keep you on track

10. Keep your eye on the prize.

Pass up immediate gratification in the pursuit of greater long-term gains

The single most important attribute to becoming successful is self-discipline. It helps you stay focused on reaching your goals, gives you the gumption to stick with difficult tasks, and allows you to overcome obstacles and discomfort as you push yourself to new heights.
