How To Stay Disciplined During A Crisis

*THREAD*

So I received about 100 emails last night (from my email list), detailing various fitness problems/obstacles to achieving their goals.

And there was one common theme:

Lack of discipline.

Discipline is a practise.

A skill.

More:

It's KNOWING that performing the correct actions on a consistent basis, will lead to the fitness life of your dreams.

At least eventually.

It's KNOWING that caving into your impulses will only lead to disappointment.

Discipline = Overpowering your internal demons.

FORGET ABOUT WHAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL

Psychologists call this an 'internal locus of control'.

Forget about the past.

Did you fail on previous diets?

Did you regain all that lost weight?

Did you binge last night?

FORGET ABOUT IT & MOVE ON WITH TODAY!

Today is all that counts.

If you get today right, you'll feel much better.

Then you're more likely to get tomorrow right.

The you'll start building confidence and momentum, and discipline comes more naturally then.

Top tip:

Download a fasting timer app to stay accountable.

TRY NEW STRATEGIES

Crises tend to screw up your original plans and routines.

Often, it can be a good idea to create a new one.

Be it:

- OMAD
- 72 hour fasting
- Daily morning workouts

Whatever it is, make the most of a bad situation, by trying something new & exciting.

REFRAME YOUR FOCUS

With fear-mongering headlines, it's easy to get distracted and lose focus.

But think:

- What are the positives right now?
- What can I improve right now that I couldn't before
- Are there new OPPORTUNITIES right now?

(Hint: Holy s*** there's so many)

RE-ARRANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

A lot of guys are struggling with comfort food & alcohol right now.

I.e sugar & booze.

I.e the two worst things in your diet.

Let me tell you something:

No one is going to stay disciplined with a 12 pack of beers in the fridge, sat there looking all cold and refreshing.

Or with that delicious bottle of red wine staring at them from the shelf.

Nobody.

Get rid of this stuff.

Out of sight, out of mind.

I know it's hard.

But you MUST stay disciplined during difficult times (they're not over, not by a long shot).

These times are a test of your will.

It's time to stop failing.

And if you're sick of rebounding and regaining the 50+ pounds you worked so hard to lose, it's time to get it right.

OMAD?

18:6?

It's up to you.
