1
Most people think discipline is forcing yourself to do something that you don't want to do.
2
Dragging yourself out of bed at 5 a.m because some Navy SEAL on YouTube told you that's what disciplined people do.
3
And so when you don't do it,
4
you make it mean something about you.
5
I'm not disciplined, I don't have what it takes,
6
there's something wrong with me.
7
But here's the thing, there's nothing wrong with you.
8
You've just misunderstood what discipline actually is.
9
Because discipline is not the consistency of doing something you don't wanna do.
10
Real discipline operates at a completely different level.
11
And once you understand it,
12
the thing you've been forcing yourself to do becomes easier.
13
Not because you get tougher,
14
but because you stop fighting yourself.
15
So in this episode, I'm going to show you what discipline actually is,
16
why willpower keeps failing you,
17
and the two-part process that turns resistance into mastery.
18
So let's get into it.
19
All right, guys, there are sort of two different ways that you could go with this discipline conversation.
20
The first is where 99% of people go,
21
which is why so many people feel like they're undisciplined.
22
Because you can go on YouTube,
23
you can find 100 videos on five steps to become more disciplined.
24
You can find a bunch of habits of the world's most successful people.
25
You can find laws of leadership.
26
And it includes things like time blocking or habit stacking or the 21-day rule, the 5 a.m club.
27
And that's all fine.
28
But that is the surface game of discipline.
29
What we really want to take a look at is what's happening upstream.
30
what allows you to actually do the things
31
that you know would bring your health forward your relationships forward
32
your growth forward your wealth forward i want to talk about discipline at a root cause level because
33
when you understand discipline this way you're not just making an
34
effort from your end you're actually aligning your effort with a response from the universe now i know
35
that might sound a little bit new age
36
but bear with me here okay so you can do willpower or disciplined the hard way.
37
Anybody can do that, right?
38
It's like you can, if I point a gun to your head,
39
I can get you to do the work.
40
You would sit down, you'd write the marketing plan,
41
you'd make the calls, you'd do the sit-ups at the gym.
42
But that's the hardest way to live, right?
43
Living with a gun to your head,
44
living from what I would call a primal state,
45
that's pushing a boulder uphill every single day.
46
And so we want to find a way to actually act in alignment
47
and congruent with the things
48
that we believe we need to do in order to produce the results
49
that we want to get without having to force the action.
50
So we want to make the action easier by disciplining ourselves internally first.
51
I'm going to talk about two different ways that we can do this here.
52
Now, let's first talk about what's not working with willpower.
53
So if you keep procrastinating around something,
54
it's not because you're lazy.
55
What you'll find behind procrastination or self-sabotage or being undisciplined is some fear.
56
Like if you actually believe that the thing that you're about to go do might not work out,
57
you'll be tempted to not do it.
58
If you believe that you're not good enough, right?
59
Of course, your nervous system is going to resist putting you in a position where you might become exposed or grow.
60
If you believe money is hard to make,
61
you're going to resist building the thing that's supposed to make you money.
62
If you were programmed as a kid to be seen and not heard,
63
then your whole nervous system is going to resist becoming visible, right?
64
So you can put whatever action plan you want in front of you.
65
But if I tell you that what is in front of you is a tiger,
66
you're going to run in the other direction.
67
And so this is the challenge with most of the wonderful ideas out there that might work for some people,
68
like waking up early or time blocking or organizing yourself in a particular way or reducing context shifting.
69
All these are really great strategies.
70
But what we have to do is look upstream because this disciplined behavior is downstream of psychological alignment.
71
And when you really look at what discipline is, it's discipleship, right?
72
This isn't just a Christian concept.
73
The esoteric Egyptians taught this,
74
the Rosicrucians taught this through anthroposophy.
75
Every ancient tradition pointed to the same thing.
76
And that is a changed life is the byproduct of a changed mind.
77
If you want to become more disciplined at a root cause level,
78
we have to identify what is the inner conflict that is occurring for you that is making this action so difficult.
79
That is putting fear between you and the outcome.
80
Really, that was the entire teaching of the gospel, right?
81
That's why it was called the good news.
82
Christ came and said, hey,
83
don't be conformed to this world,
84
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
85
And so you don't have to be stuck in your life and what we would call undisciplined.
86
You can actually create the breakthrough and start to align your identity and your actions
87
with the person who actually produces the outcome.
88
But in order to do that without force,
89
in order to make it consistent,
90
we've got to take a look upstream and see what's going on.
91
Because real discipline, and I want you to write this down,
92
real discipline is psychological.
93
Real discipline is not behavioral.
94
And that's the big mistake we make.
95
We look at the external and we go, oh, I'm not disciplined.
96
But really what's driving that action or preventing you from doing
97
that action externally that you believe you need to engage in and produce the result is something going on inside.
98
So the problem is most people are trying to discipline their behavior before they've disciplined their thinking, right?
99
And that's why it keeps falling apart.
100
If you actually believe something is hard,
101
do you believe you're going to be likely to do the thing.
102
But if you remove the concept of hard and you just realize like,
103
I'm going to be doing something for the first time,
104
it's not going to go as smoothly as it might the second time.
105
This is a learning process,
106
but I understand that this is the process
107
and I can truly enjoy the process of getting better and better at over time.
108
Aren't you more likely to actually do the thing?
109
So the story that we have about the action that we believe we should take,
110
that determines whether or not we are actually doing the thing
111
or doing the thing for a couple of weeks and then back on the couch.
112
So the discipline that you're being called to,
113
which again is not the alpha male,
114
hyper masculine, Navy SEAL type of discipline that we see on YouTube or Instagram or social media.
115
Real discipline is a discipline of awareness.
116
And that can be challenging because the external reality is so alluring.
117
Like we live in the sensory experience.
118
You've been given these five senses and we live in a sensory overload.
119
And so we almost forget our inner world.
120
But really the opportunity if we want to become disciplined is becoming aware of the resistance that is inside of us.
121
Identifying the old belief that comes up in the face of this action
122
or activity that you believe you should engage in and then working with that belief and choosing a new one.
123
One of the great distinctions that we teach that I think is one of the most powerful distinctions in personal growth,
124
when you're looking at trying to transform a belief,
125
you identify you've got this belief that is moving you into some form of suffering and deterring you from taking the action,
126
we want to work at the belief level.
127
And one of the most powerful distinctions is this distinction that beliefs are decisions.
128
You've decided that money is scarce.
129
You've decided that there's not enough time.
130
You've decided that you can't trust people.
131
You've actually decided that you're not disciplined.
132
And you're so powerful and your brain is a goal-achieving machine that whatever it is you believe becomes your reality.
133
And so the opportunity here is when you identify a limiting belief,
134
when you really look at what it is that you're not doing,
135
that you're not disciplined too externally.
136
And you go like, what is this resistance that comes up inside of me?
137
Every time I think about working on the presentation,
138
every time I think about making sales calls,
139
every time I think about taking some time for myself to meditate,
140
but I don't do it.
141
And you go, wow, what's happening inside of me when I'm confronted with that action is this idea that I'm not worthy,
142
or this idea that this is not going to work,
143
or this idea that there's not enough time.
144
and to decide differently, to decide that you are worthy,
145
to decide that this is going to work,
146
to decide that there is enough time to do the things that are important to you.
147
That small two millimeter shift,
148
realizing that beliefs are decisions and that you have choice transformed my life.
149
For years, I was not disciplined around my business.
150
I found it very difficult to sit down and actually do some work.
151
But part of that was I had a limiting belief,
152
which was that I'm not disciplined.
153
And I had a whole lifetime of history to prove it to myself.
154
I could look back and go,
155
I mean, look, you were an alcoholic,
156
you know, you were a drug addict,
157
you were a sex addict, right?
158
How can I possibly be disciplined enough to be successful in business?
159
And one of the things that I actually reframed,
160
which isn't just something I was making up,
161
it was really just seeing reality clearly,
162
was that I was very disciplined.
163
Like I was incredibly disciplined in my drug addiction.
164
I was incredibly disciplined with happy hour.
165
I was incredibly disciplined with my capacity to roll joints,
166
smoke them on the way to work and smoke them on the way back home.
167
So I had this story that I wasn't disciplined,
168
but in fact, I was very disciplined.
169
I was just disciplined in things that were representative of unresolved trauma.
170
I was disciplined in things that were not in alignment with the results that I actually wanted to create in my life.
171
So I started developing some new belief systems around every limiting belief that I could find.
172
I made a new empowered decision.
173
And what was really simple was that the new decision that I made was always the opposite of the limiting belief.
174
So I decided that I am disciplined.
175
I am worthy.
176
I am capable.
177
As I started to adopt those beliefs,
178
I started to incrementally take more action in the areas of my life where I hadn't been.
179
So I started to work out more.
180
I started to go out more.
181
I started to connect with others more.
182
I started to be willing to pursue the ideas that I had.
183
I started to actually take on learning how to do marketing and becoming a marketer.
184
You know, today I think I'm a really phenomenal marketer.
185
I've had to in order to get my mission and this message out there in the world.
186
But it didn't start out that way.
187
I had to start making new decisions.
188
You don't make that decision once, right?
189
You make it every time the old belief comes up.
190
You start focusing not on actually time blocking and task doing,
191
you focus more on your inner dialogue.
192
And so I had a process when I started becoming quote unquote disciplined,
193
which was really a shift in my identity.
194
It was called the morning dump.
195
Every single morning I'd wake up with all these reasons why I couldn't,
196
why I wasn't, right?
197
Why I wasn't disciplined, why I wasn't successful.
198
I created a three column spreadsheet.
199
And in the first column,
200
I would write down all of the negative inner belief systems that would come up.
201
And in the second column,
202
I'd write down exactly the opposite of what that belief was.
203
And in the third column,
204
I'd say, well, what evidence do I have for the fact that this new decision is true, right?
205
So I'd write down something like I'm not very disciplined.
206
And then in the second column,
207
I'd write, I am very disciplined.
208
The third column, I'd say,
209
well, what evidence do I have for the fact that this is true?
210
And I'd sit with it.
211
What's interesting about this process,
212
we call it the decision matrix.
213
Some of you have said this tool has completely changed your life,
214
is that if you're willing to just kind of sit with the new decision for a little bit,
215
there'll be old memories that come up,
216
evidence that you've sort of been filtering out of your conscious awareness
217
because it hasn't been congruent with this limiting belief that you have, right?
218
This belief that there's not enough time,
219
this belief that you're not good enough,
220
this belief that money is hard to make,
221
this belief that you can't trust people,
222
this belief that if you want to do things right,
223
you have to do it yourself.
224
But if you're willing to sit with it for a moment,
225
you start to activate old dormant memories.
226
You literally start to activate a part of your brain that has been sleeping.
227
And as you do that,
228
what you'll start to find is that the new decision
229
that you make actually starts to be more true than the limiting belief that you've been
230
Buying into so I would do this process every morning.
231
I did it for about 30 days It was called the morning dump again in the first column.
232
I'd write down my limiting beliefs How I was feeling in
233
the morning second column for each one I'd write a new decision
234
and then for each of those i'd say well What evidence do I have for the fact
235
that this new decision is true?
236
And i'd ask that question a couple of times, right?
237
So if my limiting belief was like,
238
you know, i'm not very good at anything My new decision would be i'm actually pretty good at most things
239
And i'd say well, what evidence do I have for the fact that this is true?
240
And i'm like,
241
well like i'm good at the simple things i'm good at
242
waking up i'm good at brushing my teeth I'm going to drive my car And then i'd ask the question again.
243
Okay.
244
What other evidence do I have for the fact that this is true?
245
And i'd say well i'm pretty good at marketing.
246
I'm pretty good at coaching I'm a pretty good friend say
247
cool What other evidence do I have for the fact
248
that this new decision is true that i'm pretty good at most things
249
And what you'll notice is is you're willing to spend just a couple of minutes on
250
that This whole new awareness starts to open up and you realize that you've sort of enrolled yourself
251
into this hallucination of the limiting belief.
252
And as you go through the first two,
253
three, four limiting beliefs, you don't need to go through all 30
254
or 40 that you would write down in a morning dump process.
255
Your whole attitude on life starts to change.
256
Your identity starts to shift.
257
You start to feel motivated.
258
And that's where discipline becomes more natural.
259
You're now not forcing the action.
260
You've just removed the resistance that was making the action so hard.
261
So this type of process,
262
reframing or limiting belief shifting work,
263
This is actually how you start to build new neural networks and new neural pathways.
264
You start to change your brain.
265
And so you become a person that from the outside looking in,
266
someone would say is disciplined,
267
like you're doing the work that you said you were going to go do, right?
268
But really from the inside looking out,
269
you know, no, this was who I always really was.
270
I've just removed the resistance that was preventing me from being that person.
271
What changes when you do the inner work first is that you're no longer battling yourself internally.
272
You're just practicing a new behavior.
273
And so it's kind of like if you and I were going to go practice a new tennis swing, right?
274
There's practicing the new tennis swing.
275
That's one thing.
276
And over time, we could dial that in.
277
We could get you disciplined to a new improved tennis swing.
278
But there's another scenario where you're practicing a new tennis swing
279
while a part of you is screaming that you're not good enough to be on the court, right?
280
So that's the challenge with trying to discipline yourself to new behavior is
281
that there's an internal dialogue taking place that makes the actual changed behavior harder than it needs to be.
282
So you can change your behavior.
283
You have the capacity to do that,
284
but not while you're criticizing yourself,
285
beating yourself up or scaring yourself at the same time,
286
because one is just mechanical.
287
It's a new habit.
288
The other is psychological warfare.
289
So we have to remove the psychological warfare and then now you don't have to push yourself into the new behavior.
290
You're no longer sitting on the sofa distracting yourself with Netflix and swiping left and swiping right and smoking pot and drinking,
291
you're actually out there practicing the new behavior.
292
And so number one, we have to understand that discipline is an interdiscipline.
293
It's not an external discipline.
294
The reason why most people fail in changing their behavior is they haven't changed the psychology that's motivating or preventing the behavior.
295
And then number two, what I want to explain to you now is that the confidence that you're looking for, right?
296
Because if you notice, like anytime you are feeling undisciplined,
297
there's a lack of confidence.
298
That confidence is gained through the doing, not before.
299
So here's where most people make their biggest mistake.
300
They think that the ability to do something well requires the confidence to do it first, right?
301
And so what most people do is they're waiting for the fear
302
or the doubt or for the discomfort to go away before they do the activity.
303
But that's not how it works.
304
In fact, it's just the opposite.
305
The confidence, the certainty, the comfort level is gained and the fear is eliminated through the doing of the thing.
306
And so the first thing we have to do is make sure
307
that we're psychologically and emotionally aligned that gives us a capacity to do the thing.
308
And we also have to understand that
309
even though it would be nice to be confident and certain and good at doing the thing before we do it,
310
that's not how it works, right?
311
All of those are rewards for being willing to do something imperfectly.
312
I look at this show,
313
for example, it's got like 240 episodes on the podcast now over the last three and a half years.
314
I had to be willing to start recording imperfectly and I had to be willing to record when nobody was listening.
315
It was 18 months that I was recording an episode every single week and about 5,000 people a month were listening,
316
which is still pretty cool, right?
317
But it wasn't until I got to around my 80th episode
318
that all of a sudden I started to really get good and I was rewarded algorithmically on YouTube.
319
And in one month, I went from 5,000 listens to a million listens on the show.
320
But that only happened because I was willing to do it imperfectly.
321
And by the way, you can go back
322
and listen to some the earlier episodes um i don't think they're bad
323
but they're not as good as they are today
324
and i got to be honest with you i still get anxious before i get in up
325
and speak on stage i still feel a twinge of anxiety before i sit down
326
and record an episode there's still an echo of that old identity
327
that says hey dave people aren't going to like you you're
328
not going to do it right like i lived with
329
that for the first 35 years of my life until i got into drug and alcohol and sex addiction recovery.
330
And it hasn't completely gone away.
331
But what I now understand is I don't need to be perfect.
332
I need to take a look at what's going on inside of me.
333
What am I thinking and work on transforming that resistance that will make the action and the effort easier.
334
And it's still going to be uncomfortable, right?
335
But the fear gets quieter every single time.
336
You know, one of my mentors said something that I'll never forget.
337
He said, in the beginning,
338
when you try anything new,
339
you're going to suck at it.
340
And you're basically going to suck at all of it.
341
And if you're willing to stick with the sucking long enough,
342
you'll suck a little bit less.
343
And if you stick with that long enough,
344
you'll actually start to get kind of sort of good at a few things.
345
And if you stick with that even longer,
346
you'll start to get genuinely good at most things.
347
And then eventually, if you stick with that long enough, you'll become great.
348
Eventually, people will look at you and go,
349
wow, look how masterful he or she is at that.
350
but there's no way to shortcut that process.
351
The gift is when you've done the inner work first,
352
the sucking doesn't take you out, right?
353
You're not making the suck mean that you're broken
354
and reinforcing the limiting belief that's been trying to prevent you from taking the action in the first place.
355
You're just in the practice.
356
And this is what discipleship really is.
357
This is following a true north and being willing to commit to the practice.
358
It's honoring the fact that your inner world outpictures itself.
359
And so you do the inner work first in order to make the external action easier.
360
It's honoring the fact that you become great at something by being willing to do it imperfectly for a long time.
361
That's discipleship.
362
That's discipline, right?
363
That's honoring who your higher power sent you to be.
364
So the question isn't, how do I force myself to be more disciplined?
365
The question is, what am I afraid of that's making the behavior so hard in the first place?
366
Because when you identify that fear,
367
when you name the limiting belief,
368
and when you start making new decisions as a practice over and over again,
369
the resistance starts to dissolve.
370
And then the action that you've been forcing yourself to take becomes the action you naturally want to take.
371
So discipline isn't about getting harder on yourself.
372
It's about getting clearer with yourself.
373
It's a discipline of the mind first and then a practice in the world
374
because the truth is you were never undisciplined You were just trying to discipline the wrong things
375

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
