People say to achieve a goal, we must have the motivation to fight for it or discipline. The problem is, the motivation sometimes fluctuates every day, often falls, causes feelings of laziness to do something, this motivation cannot be relied on.
Likewise discipline, it takes courage and many people say just do it. Just do it consistently, even though you lack motivation, discipline will change your life for the better. But what happens, discipline is very difficult, it turns out that our emotions also fluctuate, our determination decreases, so it is difficult to discipline.
Discipline for something that causes suffering, gives opposition, for example, have to diet and exercise to lose weight, want to be thin must suffer. It is very difficult to discipline when the will or determination is not strong enough to endure the suffering of the discipline.
So, how to change for the better without having to force discipline. The answer is managing the factors that influence behavior, the environment.
Make it easier for us to do what you want and complicate things that could prevent us from achieving our original goals. Managing the environment, both physically and mentally, requires less determination than discipline.
Remember, our motivation and willpower are limited, but we can use them to control what influences behavior. Find the way to get the easiest way, the action you want to do can be faster, less obstacles and vice versa.
If you want to reject something, block it with several layers of difficult routes. So, arrange the environment, people around, objects, facilities, devices, places to support the required behavior.
Make it, even if the motivation is small and difficult to discipline, it's easy to start positive habits. Give small gifts as rewards for successfully initiating one easy step that will later become a strong habit.
If it has become a habit that is deeply rooted as a culture, a tradition that becomes one's identity, it will be difficult to stop. We will go on, towards that goal, only in flow, by the path of the easiest and least obstacle course.
