There
are many important qualities that can contribute to a person’s achievements and
happiness, but there is only one that begets sustainable, long-term success in
all aspects of life: self discipline. Whether in terms of your diet, fitness,
work ethic or relationships, self discipline is the number one trait
needed to accomplish goals, lead a healthy lifestyle, and ultimately, be happy.
According
to a 2013 study by Wilhelm Hoffman, people with high self control are happier
than those without. The study discovered this is true because the self
disciplined subjects were more capable of dealing with goal conflicts. These
people spent less time debating whether to indulge in behaviors detrimental to
their health, and were able to make positive decisions more easily. The self
disciplined did not allow their choices to be dictated by impulses or feelings.
Instead, they made informed, rational decisions on a daily basis without
feeling overly stressed or upset.
Despite
what many may think, self discipline is a learned behavior. It requires
practice and repetition in your day-to-day life. To improve your own self
discipline, test out these 5 proven methods for gaining better control. This
regimen will help you to establish good habits, break bad ones, and improve
your control by making simple changes to your everyday routine. Improved self
discipline will allow you to live a freer life by helping you to make healthy
choices, not emotional ones. Give it a shot. Your happiness will thank you for
it.
1. Remove
temptations.
Self
control is often easiest when abiding by the old saying, “out of sight, out of
mind.” Removing all temptations and distractions from your environment is a
crucial first step when working to improve your self discipline. If you are
trying to have better control of your eating, toss the junk food. Ask your
office intern to leave you off of the daily lunch order email. If you want to
improve your focus while working, turn off your cell phone and remove the
clutter from your desk. If you’re really having trouble, download the
SelfControl app on your computer to block distraction websites - Facebook,
Youtube , even e-mail - for a set period of time. Set yourself up for success by
ditching the bad influences.
2. Eat
regularly and healthily.
Studies
have shown that low blood sugar often weakens a person’s resolve. When you’re
hungry, your ability to concentrate suffers as your brain is not functioning to
its highest potential. Hunger makes it difficult to focus on the tasks at hand,
not to mention making you grumpy and pessimistic. You are much more likely to
have a weakened sense of self control in all areas of our life - diet,
exercise, work, relationships... you name it. In order to stay on track, make
sure that you are well fueled throughout the day with healthy snacks and meals
every few hours. I personally make sure to always have some almonds or Muscle
Milk on hand. These snacks ensure that I can get a dose of healthy protein and
fats throughout the day when needed. Eating often regulates your blood sugar
levels and improves your decision making skills and concentration. Allow you
brain to focus on your goals and priorities instead of on your growling
stomach.
3. Don’t
wait for it to “feel right.”
Improving
your self discipline means changing up your normal routine, which can be
uncomfortable and awkward. Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit,
explains that habit behaviors are traced to a part of the brain called the
basal ganglia - a portion of the brain associated with emotions, patterns, and
memories. Decisions, on the other hand, are made in the prefrontal cortex, a
completely different area. When a behavior becomes habit, we stop using our
decision-making skills and instead function on auto-pilot. Therefore, breaking
a bad habit and building a new habit not only requires us to make active
decisions, it will feel wrong. Your brain will resist the change in favor of
what it has been programmed to do. The solution? Embrace the wrong. Acknowledge
that it will take a while for your new regime to feel right or good or natural.
Keep chugging along. It will happen.
4.
Schedule breaks, treats , and rewards for yourself.
Self
discipline does not mean your new regimen needs to be entirely cold turkey ,
hard core , or drill sergeant-like in execution. In fact, giving yourself zero
wiggle room often results in failures, disappointments, and giving into your
old ways. While practicing self control, schedule specific breaks, treats , and
rewards for yourself. Dieting? Designate Saturday as ice cream sundae day.
Trying to lose weight? Treat yourself with a fancy massage after a month of gym
trips. Working on controlling your spending? Allow yourself a $25 splurge at
the mall on Sunday. ( Leave the credit cards at home, and bring cash only). Self
discipline can be hard. Reward your effort.
5. Forgive
yourself and move forward.
Instituting
a new way of thinking won’t always go according to plan. You will have ups and
downs, fabulous successes, and flat out failures. The key is to keep moving
forward. When you have a setback, acknowledge what caused it and move on. It is
easy to get wrapped up in guilt, anger, or frustration, but these emotions will
not help build improve self discipline. Instead, use the hiccups in your plan
as learning experiences for the future. Forgive yourself, and get back in the
saddle ASAP. The longer you’re off your game, the harder it is to keep going in
a positive direction.
6 Tips for Intelligent Thinking
In
general, people consider intelligence to be a highly desirable trait. Some
people can be seen as more 'smart' due to their everyday habits and
conscientious attitude. Here are 6 tips for more intelligent thinking.
1. Learn
from your mistakes
Everything
we do, from our first breath to the moment in which we die, is a matter of
trial and error. A baby cannot learn to walk without falling down first, and we
cannot do better at work if we don’t know what to improve. Errors are actually
how the brain learns; when we make decisions, neurons are activated, and if
these decisions turn out to be wrong, the activated neurons are subsequently
suppressed. Smart people reflect on these errors, and work to ensure that they
do not happen again - it just takes a smart person to realize when a decision
is wrong.
2. Re-evaluate
your views
The
greatest minds of all time have re-evaluated their initial theories. When
we think of intelligent, famous people, scientists usually come to mind -
because scientists have to adapt to the constant stream of new discoveries
influencing their life's work. Take Einstein, who altered his theory of general
relativity, and famously said “we cannot solve our problems with the same
thinking we used when we created them”. The same can be said for Stephen Hawking,
who initially thought nothing can escape a black hole, but later published work
contradicting his original theory. Train your brain to adapt to new situations
and information - you will only get smarter with time.
3. Recover
from failures
The
most intelligent of people make mistakes - renowned filmmakers release box
office flops, and manufactures put products on the market which fail. It may
feel humiliating and unpleasant when an idea which you think is genius is
unsuccessful, but this happens to the best of us.
Without
failure, the successes would not be so exhilarating. Famous and successful
people who experienced obstacles include Arianna Huffington, co-founder of the
Huffington Post, whose second book was rejected by 36 publishers, as well as J.K.
Rowling, whose Harry Potter books were rejected 12 times before she became one
of the most successful authors of all time. If Huffington and Rowling didn’t
push so hard, they never would have achieved the success they have today.
4. Make
your own luck
Nobody
achieved anything monumental just waiting for it to happen. Making smart
decisions takes effort - you need to read, do your research, and work to
achieve your goals. When you pour your heart and soul into a project, you know
that it is your hard work which gets you to the finish line, and not simply
because the stars aligned. What’s more, working hard and making your own
success is the key secret to hapiness , as a series of studies by Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi found. Nelson Mandela once said that “the greatest glory in
living life is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall”.
5. Push
for what you believe in
A
smart person knows when to push for what they believe in and stick to it, even
if the situation takes a turn for the worst. Intelligent people are like rubber
bands - anything can happen and they can adapt to the change. There is a huge
difference between not doing something because you might fail, and doing
something despite the risk. If you know that your idea has potential, push for
what you believe in. “Life is like riding a bicycle, in order to keep your
balance, you must keep moving” said Albert Einstein. Fight for your chance to
shine, even if a critic only has a “gut feeling”, because if someone else
believes in your vision, you might just achieve your goals.
6. Know that actions speak louder than words
We all know someone who likes to say how great they
are. But intelligent people know that their actions speak louder than words. A
study found self evaluations to be not nearly as accurate as evaluations made
by other people, who had watched the participants conduct conversations. If you
want to be taken seriously and respected by coworkers and friends, let your
hard work prove your worth.
