Three 🔑🔑🔑 to Master Self Discipline:

1.) Urge surfing: Imagine your urges are waves in the seas that go up and down and eventually crash. Rather than “fighting” an urge; sit back, observe it, and “surf it”, eventually it will go away. Fighting/avoiding urges make them stronger and longer lasting. Instead of “I feel like…“ , it’s “I have an urge to…”. Don’t identify with the urge and you can separate yourself from it. Example: Hunger- If you don’t look at it as a sign to eat right away, the hunger will fade faster than you think. 

2.) Arousal control: Response to stressful situations can save us. Slow, deep, long breaths can help you maintain a sense of calm or help you return to a calmer state. Example: Lion’s Breath; Breathe in for one deep breath and open your eyes wide. Then, open your mouth and stick out your tongue as you blow all the air out of your mouth, making a “haaaa” sound. 

3.) 40% rule: When your mind is telling you you’re done, you have only tapped into 40% of your potential. The other 60% that will get you through is belief and willpower. Push your limits and you’d be surprised. Example: You usually run one mile a day, next time, go for three!
