Let's talk about discipline.
2
Here's my transformation story in less than five seconds.
3
I used to be lazy, self-absorbed, did a lot of drugs, I sucked.
4
Now, I don't.
5
Plot twist.
6
But in that journey, which was for the record longer than five seconds, I had a really cool emotional growth.
7
And that was from a place where I didn't respect myself to a place where I did.
8
What changed?
9
What was the secret ingredient?
10
Wanna know?
11
You guessed it.
12
Discipline, baby.
13
It was doing the things that I said I was gonna do, despite resistance.
14
Which is incidentally my definition for discipline.
15
This video is how I cultivated it from a mindset point of view.
16
And heads up, this whole thing works way better if you're physiologically fulfilled.
17
Drink enough water, eat the right food, exercise, all of the cliches.
18
And also, it'll happily work in tandem with those classic discipline hacks.
19
You know, things like a Pomodoro clock or an accountability partner.
20
Or a guy named Steve who you pay to stand in the corner
21
and yell motivational quotes at you every hour on the hour.
22
Ain't that right Steve?
23
You can do it!
24
Thanks bro.
25
And remember that this mindset method is just what works for me.
26
If something resonates, use it, and if something doesn't, ditch it.
27
Alrighty, let's get disciplined.
28
Step 1.
29
Reframe discipline as a function of self-love.
30
There's this pretty iconic Will Smith interview where he's talking about discipline, and the way that he talks about it is it is a function of him loving himself.
31
Because he loves himself, he is going to treat himself like somebody he loves.
32
The example he uses is pizza.
33
You say to yourself, hey man, look, I know you want to eat that pizza and it'll be really good, but I can't let you eat that man, because if you eat that pizza,
34
you're going to feel like shit.
35
You know, and I just, I love you too much to let you eat that.
36
Self-discipline is self-love.
37
If you want to be happy, you have to love yourself.
38
I really like starting here, because I think that discipline can get pretty toxic if it comes from the wrong place.
39
So me, for example, when I was trying to quit drugs on willpower alone, it just didn't work.
40
It would always be short-lived and empty and full of guilt
41
and shame and I was just trying to turn myself into this obedient robot.
42
But when I reframed it as, well, I love myself, therefore I'm going to treat my body as a temple, it became a lot easier and a lot more sustainable.
43
Now here's the cool thing.
44
It's a spiral.
45
Self-love can give you discipline, but discipline can also give you self-love and self-respect.
46
By acting like somebody who you would respect, you naturally just by definition respect yourself.
47
So I noticed a few years ago that I really respected people who conquered their fears.
48
And meanwhile, I had this fear of certain marine life, mostly squids, octopi, sort of sharks, I guess, kind of even fish, to be honest.
49
And so I started getting into the ocean a lot more and looking at these creatures close up.
50
And after I did this, I would always be like, damn, I face my fears.
51
Oh, well, now I respect myself.
52
Cool.
53
Step two, make discipline part of your identity.
54
So to start this step, we need to take a mental shift.
55
And that is accept that being a disciplined version of yourself is inevitable.
56
The reason we're doing this is because people act in line with the person that they think they are.
57
Very easy example, Michael Jordan thought he was a winner.
58
So every time he'd lose, he would double down to win again because that is what was consistent with his identity.
59
Similarly, that dude that you went to high school with, who's now a massive stoner, won't get off the couch because that is not in line with his identity.
60
So the thing
61
that I've found works for me is painting a very clear picture of who I'd look like if I was disciplined.
62
If I did the things that I said I was gonna do, who would I be?
63
Here's a few questions to answer for what discipline you is like.
64
What does their day look like?
65
Where do they live?
66
What do they eat?
67
What do they wear?
68
What does their week look like?
69
What do they do for work?
70
Who are they surrounded by?
71
What do they think and feel?
72
What do they say no to?
73
What do they say yes to?
74
And write any other details that you think will help you describe this person.
75
Now it's time for some mental gymnastics.
76
Fully accept that at some point in the future, you will be this person.
77
Just be open to that possibility.
78
Whether it's true or not is a different story and you might feel some resistance from your own head, but you know, push through.
79
That's what it's all about.
80
Step three, reflect this new identity in your environment.
81
Your environment is a great way to outsource your discipline.
82
And it's also a great way to give you tangible reminders of the person that you're becoming.
83
So you know when you go to your hometown
84
or go to a place that you used to visit a lot
85
and you kind of get a sort of wave of nostalgia and also a wave of cringe.
86
It's because there's so many tangible reminders of the person that you used to be.
87
Your brain, whether it's conscious or not, is picking up on all these physical cues and your emotions and your actions follow, which can be negative, but we can also use it to our advantage.
88
So for this exercise, you want your environment to look as much like what your disciplined self's environment would look like.
89
A super obvious example would be if your disciplined view was an athlete.
90
Your environment would be, I leave my yoga mat out, I have weights here, I've got a gym bag at the door, I wear active wear, so when I'm looking at a menu, I pick the healthiest thing.
91
Things like that.
92
Tangible things that keep you reminded of the future that you could have.
93
Step four, internalise the threat of not doing this.
94
Alright, we're going to advanced class now.
95
We are going to threaten ourselves into being disciplined.
96
And this might not work for everybody.
97
Like I said at the start, this is just my method.
98
Just take what works and leave what doesn't.
99
But I may as well go over everything.
100
Loss aversion is proven to be a more powerful motivator than gain.
101
You would rather avoid losing a dollar than gaining a dollar.
102
The way
103
that we can use this to our advantage to trick our
104
own brains is to make us feel like we are losing something if we're not disciplined.
105
For example, there's this website called Stick, wherein they ask you to create a commitment contract.
106
Then you put your money on the line.
107
Let's say it's $200 or something like that.
108
And you say, unless I do this one thing, which I said I was gonna do, unless I'm disciplined, that money is going to go to a cause that I hate.
109
It's gonna go straight into the pockets of neo-Nazis.
110
Now, not only do you have the loss aversion of losing your $200, but you have it even greater because who wants to give 200 bucks to neo-Nazis?
111
Not me.
112
Not at all.
113
Not for a goddamn second.
114
I'm actually using loss aversion as a motivator at the moment, So one thing that I've never been able to properly nail is consistent YouTube uploads.
115
But this year I've decided to try something different.
116
I've got an editor, but there is one twist.
117
I have pre-paid them.
118
They get the money regardless of whether I film something or not.
119
The theory is that my drive to not lose money is stronger than my drive to skip a week of videos.
120
So let's see how that pans out, fingers crossed it works.
121
But the key takeaway here is when you're looking at being disciplined, try to turn one of the habits
122
that you want to build into a system wherein loss aversion can motivate you
123
and then replicate that that loss aversion in your life in a healthy way in order to get you going.
124
Well, that was a mouthful.
125
Step five, have a good system to start things.
126
For me, starting work is harder than sustaining it.
127
It's like that first push on the pedal of a bicycle.
128
It's always gonna be a bit harder than the one when you're actually cruising.
129
But you can have all the self-love and identity in the world
130
but you won't be disciplined unless you actually start doing something.
131
So I've got two techniques here that I split into starting systems and eliminating friction.
132
A starting system is just whatever gets you going.
133
So one thing for me, as an author, still feels new to say that, I'll often not really feel in the mood to write.
134
And this is because it's hard.
135
Who wants to do hard things?
136
My starting system to get over this is to write what I hate.
137
It's to rant.
138
And usually I'll just pick some extended family member
139
that I don't like and just have a little rant about them for five minutes.
140
And then, oh, now I'm typing.
141
Now the good words that I actually wanted to write aren't as difficult.
142
I've started the bike, now I'm pedaling.
143
Life is good.
144
Another starting system was one that my brother was telling me about.
145
He was having trouble getting up out of bed in the morning.
146
He just kept hitting snooze on his alarm clock, which I think we all can relate to.
147
And so we got this app called Barcode Alarm Clock.
148
The alarm on your phone won't turn off until you scan a barcode.
149
So he would set that barcode to the coffee in his kitchen.
150
So he would have to get up, walk to the kitchen.
151
Now he's at the coffee, he may as well make himself the coffee.
152
And now he is awake.
153
What I really like here is he made starting pretty much non-negotiable.
154
The second bucket of starting things is eliminating friction.
155
I went through a dark period of my life where I was a 5am gym guy.
156
I'm sorry, that was wrong.
157
I shouldn't have done it.
158
But I remember when I was starting to build this habit, I would use any excuse not to go to the gym.
159
So my alarm would go off at 5am and I'd be like, well, I don't know where my shoes are in this exact moment.
160
Guess I'm sleeping.
161
Eliminating friction is just having all your gym gear set out the night before.
162
The late Mitch Hedberg had this joke about bread.
163
You know that, Petra's farm bread, that stuff is fancy, man.
164
It's wrapped twice.
165
You open it and it still ain't open.
166
That's why I don't buy it.
167
I don't need another step between me and toast.
168
Eliminating friction is taking out the steps between you and whatever your toast is.
169
If it's drawing, it's having your book and pencil ready to go before you start work.
170
If it's running, it's having all your gear in one spot
171
so you don't have to look around the house trying to find them.
172
And if you've got a passion for art heists and you want to steal the Mona Lisa, it's all about having your gloves and grappling hook by the door.
173
Not in your storage locker, not in the cupboard.
174
Make it easy.
175
Eliminate that friction.
176
You've got this.
177
Steal that artwork.
178
Step six, have a good method to sustain things.
179
This step is all about making sure you don't burn out.
180
We don't want that.
181
Discipline can exhaust you.
182
Now with this step, I will just say as a big disclaimer, I don't have a chronic illness.
183
I don't have kids.
184
I'm working with a pretty able body and a pretty open schedule.
185
So I am playing on easy mode.
186
You might be playing on hard mode.
187
So you might need more rest or you might need more time for your family, for example.
188
But for me, the most sustainable method, and I hate that this is true, is the work week.
189
The actual Monday to Friday, nine to five.
190
This never used to be true for me, but taking weekends has been the biggest change to me being able to sustain discipline without burning out.
191
And what this looks like tangibly is if it's Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, I'm working.
192
I take nights, I take weekends, I make sure I sleep, all of that.
193
Your system might look totally different, but what you want to find is a weekly or a daily
194
or a monthly routine that makes sure that you are not getting exhausted.
195
Way easier said than done.
196
But yeah, this step is about finding a sustainable routine
197
and finding what you can do when you're not working that fills you with energy.
198
And if you are looking for what energizes you, just at the end of every day for about a month, ask yourself, just in a notes app on your phone, what energized me today?
199
And then at the end of the month, look for the commonalities.
200
I can pretty much guarantee that there'll be something that shows up a lot more than other things.
201
And for me, if I do more of that thing, it stops me from burning out.
202
Step seven, at some point, the only true path is to just do it.
203
I find anytime that I'm looking for a hack that sidesteps just do it, I've already lost.
204
And when I say just do it, I am talking about literally doing the work, doing the workout, stealing a Mona Lisa.
205
But thankfully what I have found is you can make just
206
doing it come more naturally with something called discomfort training We're all familiar with
207
that probably zen buddhist quote How you do anything is how you do everything the way
208
that you act in small situations will often be the way
209
that you act in bigger ones Discomfort training is something
210
that uses this to your advantage It's like going to the gym for your willpower
211
And it's a way of building up that muscle so
212
that you'll have it there ready to go
213
when you actually just need to just do it So how do you get your reps in?
214
How do you actually build up the willpower?
215
What is discomfort training?
216
It's pretty simple.
217
It's just doing small things that make you uncomfortable.
218
It's basically, in micro moments in your life, choosing the less comfortable option.
219
For example, if you're somebody who gets bored easily, next time you're in a waiting room or in a queue, don't pull out your phone.
220
That's discomfort training, baby.
221
The most common example I hear is having cold showers.
222
For me, the most common example I use is the two-minute rule.
223
If something takes less than two minutes, I do it immediately.
224
And by practicing discomfort in these small moments, the idea is that it builds up and creates discipline throughout the rest of your life.
225
So, you feeling more disciplined?
226
The reality is that discipline and resistance are lifelong battles.
227
We're all just climbing a mountain with no top.
228
But the cool part is, if you get the foundation, the mindset right, it makes it so much easier.
229
Ain't that right, Steve?

Кому подходит это видео?
Это видео идеально подойдет тем, кто хочет улучшить английский разговорный язык, особенно тех, кто работает над навыками самодисциплины. Уровень — от среднего до продвинутого, так как диалог содержит разговорные выражения и эмоционально насыщенные фразы, которые помогут освоить естественную речь. Цель — не только понять смысл, но и научиться использовать такие конструкции в повседневной коммуникации, а также улучшить произношение английского с помощью метода shadow speech.
Полезные слова и идиомы
- Self-discipline — самодисциплина. В видео она определяется как "doing the things that I said I was gonna do, despite resistance" (делать то, что обещал, несмотря на сопротивление).
- Resistance — сопротивление (в контексте внутреннего сопротивления действиям).
- Toxic — токсичный. Используется в фразе "discipline can get pretty toxic" (дисциплина может стать токсичной, если она исходит из неправильного места).
- Spiral — спираль. Описывает взаимосвязь: "Self-love can give you discipline, but discipline can also give you self-love" (самолюбовь порождает дисциплину, а дисциплина усиливает самолюбовь).
Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте
Говорящий в видео использует разговорный стиль с естественной интонацией и сокращениями (например, "gonna", "ain't"). Для того чтобы повторить его произношение, используйте метод shadowing: слушайте короткие отрывки, останавливайте и повторяйте за ним, копируя ритм и интонацию. Обратите внимание на ударения в словах like discipline (дисциплина) — ударение на первом слоге, resistance (сопротивление) — на втором. Также практикуйте произношение сокращений, так как они делают речь более естественной. Для эффективного обучения можно использовать shadowing site, где можно записывать себя и сравнивать с оригиналом. Помните: регулярная работа по методу shadowspeak помогает быстро улучшить произношение и чувство языка.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| «Used to» used to + глагол — прошлая привычка или состояние, которых больше нет | used to be · used to visit |
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | I've found · I've never been · I've decided |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | was disciplined · being disciplined · is proven |
| Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете | journey, which was · somebody who you · people who conquered |
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
