Discipline vs. Motivation: Taking Action When You’re Not Inspired
From gym teacher to executive director and life coach, my journey is a testament to the power of transformation. Join me, Nandi Camille, as I share personal stories of navigating life's hurdles—from career shifts to breakups—and how they've shaped my path. Through the metaphor of a plant needing to be repotted, we explore how embracing change can lead to personal and professional growth. If you're ready to redefine success on your own terms and expand your potential, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you thrive beyond boundaries.
Motivation feels electrifying, but maintaining it is another story. Our brains are wired for comfort, often resisting the very discipline needed to achieve our dreams. Let's explore this natural resistance together and uncover strategies to reclaim our power. By understanding where fear and discomfort hinder our progress, we can push through and stay on course. Gain self-awareness and learn to harness both motivation and discipline as allies in your journey toward your goals.
Through exercises like the "wheel of life," you’ll find ways to maintain balance amidst life's changes. Plus, discover how to set a sustainable fitness plan for 2025 that resonates with your lifestyle. Whether it's switching up your workout routine or embracing new goals, trust yourself to make choices that align with your true self. This episode is an invitation to share your growth story with others and inspire change within yourself and your community.

Speaker 2:Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Believe Like a Boss. I am your host life coach, Nandi Camille. Welcome back. My friends, you can probably hear I'm a little under the weather right now, so I do apologize for any sniffles or coughing that happens. I'm going to do my best to edit anything out that I can, but I am feeling a little bit under the weather. I've been fighting if you've been watching my reels on Instagram I've been fighting off this cold for probably about a week. Tyler's been sick for about a week, and I've been doing everything in my power to drink tea and hydrate and sleep and just make sure that I don't get sick, and it got to me. I am on the up and up, though, and I need to be at a hundred percent because we have a hockey game to go to, and I am so excited to go to this hockey game, but I won't go if I'm sick, because I am one of those humans. I just I'm terrified of getting other people sick, so I'm hoping you guys, that I am feeling better by the end of the day. The game is not until tonight, and I am on the up and up. This morning I woke up. I feel so much better. So we'll see. You'll follow me on Instagram. If I went to the hockey game, then I was feeling much better, and if I didn't, then I wasn't but. Happy Tuesday, my friends.
Speaker 2:Welcome to a new week or whenever you're listening to this. If you're new to this podcast, welcome. My name is Nandi Rimes-Lagondi. I am a life coach. I'm a mindfulness-based life coach. I like helping humans, human. I've specifically been working with female entrepreneurs and high achieving women for the past five years of my business, since I've started it. But I'm starting to branch out. I'm starting to open up to just helping all different types of people and starting to curate my programs to fit the needs of different types of people, because truly all of the concepts that I talk about when it comes to motivation and discipline that's what we're talking about today Confidence, mindfulness, being your best self doesn't just apply to my female entrepreneurs, doesn't just apply to my high achieving women.
Speaker 2:It applies to everybody, right? My goal as a life coach is to help people navigate their lives in a way that feels empowering. Navigate their lives in a way that feels authentic, true to them that when they wake up in the morning, they're not feeling exhausted by the day before they've even started it right. I've been in that place where I'm either exhausted by the day before they've even started it right. I've been in that place where I'm either exhausted by the day before it even starts or I'm miserable because somebody else did something to me and now I'm just horrible, horribly upset. I've had breakups in my life that have set me back or a breakup, rather, that really set me back, and so throughout my life, I've taken these little nuggets of hardship, of adversity, and then applied it to my business. Applied it to my businesses.
Speaker 2:I am now going to give you guys a little bit of context. I'm now an executive director for a business. I run my own business. I'm a married woman. I moved out to Colorado 10 years ago this year, and so in those 10 years since graduating college, I have gone from being a gym teacher to an executive director, and I've gone from having no business to a budding business that now supports women all around the world, not just in the United States all around the world. I am listened to all around the world and my goal is to give you all your version of success. I have created my version of success and I'm not done. That's the beauty of life, and you all have been. If you've been around here a little while, you know.
Speaker 2:One of my favorite metaphors is the plant metaphor, that as plants grow, you have to physically move them out of their pot in order to allow them to continue to grow. Otherwise, you end up. A few things can happen. If you don't repot a plant, it can stifle its growth where it just doesn't grow anymore, where that's as big as it gets and that's not a bad thing, right, but that's as big as that plant will be able to get because you're keeping it contained in a smaller pot or it might just rot. Right, that plant might rot because I'm trying to grow, I'm trying to grow, the roots keep growing and then you end up getting root rot because the roots all get all tangled.
Speaker 2:That pot, that pot, that plant needs room to grow, and I truly believe that we as individuals, we as human beings on the planet, are wired the exact same way that nature is. We are wired to grow, we are wired to expand, and all of us have different versions of success, so different ways that we all expand. But my job as a coach is to help you clarify what that looks like for you and to walk in that direction with so much gusto and excitement, and to have your own back that, should you walk in the direction of your dreams and you find out some information along the way that, oh, this isn't exactly what I thought it was going to be, or I've changed my mind, you have the tools to pivot. You have the tools to get up and change your mind. You have the tools to recreate your life in the way that success looks to you. Success is going to change, success is going to evolve, and my goal is to help you change and evolve alongside with it. So today we're talking about motivation and discipline. Motivation and discipline, I think, is very important for us to talk about at the beginning of this brand new year. Last week, we talked a little bit about what are some questions to help your mind start to churn, help you start to think about what's important to you in 2025, what your goals are, who you want to be and how you want to show up. Now that you've gotten a little bit more clear on that, let's talk about moving forward, taking action.
Speaker 2:One of the biggest things I ran into and I think the biggest reasons that people hire life coaches is because they have their goals, they know what they want to do. It's just that they're not doing the work to do it. They're not getting up, they're not taking the action. I know that I want to wake up every single morning, you know, 30, 45 minutes earlier than I normally wake up so I can get in a workout. I know what I need to do. I need to set my timer, I need to write it in my planner. I'm going to set my clothes out the night before and I'm going to be ready to go the next day. Then your alarm goes off and you don't do it. You set your clothes out, you set your coffee pot out, you did all the things your coach told you to do.
Speaker 2:Nadia told me to do all these things. I did it and I still did not get up that 30 to 45 minutes earlier to work out. I still did not follow through and go to that networking event, even though I signed up. I still did not follow through and dot dot dot, even though I said I was going to, even though I put it in my planner, even though I said it was important to me. So let's talk a little bit about motivation versus discipline. First motivation I think motivation is a lot more fun. I think that we all enjoy being motivated. It's a lot more fun to be motivated. It feels good to be motivated.
Speaker 1:So I want to start there, nice and light.
Speaker 2:What motivates you? So the other way that this often gets asked is what is your why? So if you're driving, pause this. If you're just sitting listening, maybe just pause this for a moment and break out a notebook. If you have one, write a little note in the back of your planner. What motivates you? What is your why? Think about your goal. This is your goal. Specifically, if your goal is to leave your company and start your own business, what is your why If your goal is to be a mom? What is your why If your goal is to buy a house? What is your why?
Speaker 2:What is like the biggest, the loudest goal for you right now and what motivates you towards creating that new reality? What motivates you towards creating that goal? What excites you about it? Let's start there, right? Because last week we talked about what are your goals, what's important to you. This week we're going to dig a little bit deeper. Why is it important to you? I want to remind you, as we're starting to move into discipline, right, motivation is easy.
Speaker 2:Motivation is when you go to a. You don't even have to go to a conference anymore. You watch a TED talk on YouTube, right? Or you go to a conference or you read a book and all of a sudden, there's this energy inside you, there's this excitement inside you. You just feel like I'm going to lurch forward. I'm going to go get the thing. I'm going to go do the thing. You believe in yourself. You have energy around your belief. You have excitement around your belief. It feels good. This is what I love about motivation. It feels good and this is what I think most people love about motivation. This is when I'm in the conference and I'm excited. This is when I'm watching the YouTube TED Talk at home and I'm on fire. I'm dreaming about that business. I'm dreaming about being a mom. Even though I've had setbacks, I know I'm going to be okay. Even though things haven't turned out the way that I thought that they were going to turn out. That speaker on stage, that motivational person, just reminded me that I am capable, I am strong, I am empowered. I can do it. Yes, I can Right. It just gets us in this beautiful, just all yummy energy and maybe you take some action from that place. You take a few steps, you write it down in your planner, you figure out what you're going to do next. Maybe you hire that coach, maybe you, or trying to coach whatever it is for you. But you've taken some action.
Speaker 2:But what happens is often that motivation will fizzle out because our brain, remember, is wired for comfort, connection and safety. So if my goal makes me uncomfortable, if going to the gym, if waking up 30, 45 minutes earlier to get a workout in makes me uncomfortable, my brain's going to fight gym. If waking up 30, 45 minutes earlier to get a workout in makes me uncomfortable, my brain's going to fight me. Right? If, all of a sudden, because I want to leave my full-time job to start a business that might disrupt some of my connections, that scares my brain, that might stop me? Right? If, all of a sudden, I say that I want to be a singer-songwriter and I want to travel the world and be an R&B artist, all of a sudden I might not feel safe. Well, what if they're stalkers? Or what if my family doesn't support me being an R&B singer? And what if this? Right? Our brain is wired for comfort, connection and safety. So if our goal, if the action we're wanting to take, threatens any of those things our comfort, our connection any of those things our comfort, our connection, our safety our brain will automatically stop us, hesitate, apply resistance.
Speaker 2:Hey, are we sure we want to wake up 30 to 45 minutes earlier? That's not really comfortable. That makes me uncomfortable. I'm wired for comfort. I don't want to do that. Are we sure we want to go to that networking event? Is it safe? Do we know where we're going to park? Do we know how many people are going to be there? Do we even know anybody there? Is it safe? Do we know where we're going to park? Do we know how many people are going to be there? Do we even know anybody there? Is it even safe for us to be there? Should I end this relationship? I don't know. I know that this guy hasn't been really nice to me. He hasn't really been treating me well and he's not really goal oriented, but you know he's nice to be around. So, like do I really want to break up with him? Do I really want to break up this connection and this comfort? Feel good.
Speaker 2:Anytime our goal threatens our comfort, connection or safety, there will be resistance and I want to tell you this so that you can bring your power back. There's nothing wrong with you. You're not broken right. I think so many times when we're like oh, I know what my goal is, and I'm going to go after it, I'm going to do it. And then we don't. We start blaming ourselves, we start shaming ourselves You're broken, you're wrong, you're bad, you're behind. So you never do anything, so you never follow through. Right, your brain does have evidence that you're not following through, but what I'm going to offer is that it's not going to serve you to beat yourself up.
Speaker 2:Your brain is doing the brain thing. Notice when discomfort is keeping you from being disciplined. Notice when your fear of losing connection is keeping you from having discipline. And look at that too. Right? If you're afraid that the action you're going to take is going to rupture a relationship because your mom doesn't like that you dyed your hair pink, or your brother doesn't like that, all of a sudden you want to be online and shaking your ass because you want to dance now. Or your boyfriend you have to break up with because you're like, actually, we're not in alignment at all and I know that in my soul. Right, look at it. Look at what it is that your brain is afraid of. I'm afraid of being judged, I'm afraid that they won't like me, I'm afraid that they won't understand.
Speaker 2:And then break it down some more. If you're afraid of being judged by, say, your mom, right, is this an opportunity to have a conversation with her about what you're doing, or is it that you need to decide that you don't care about her opinion? I know that that sounds harsh, but I want you to bring it home for you. What is going to keep you in alignment? Is it that you need to have that hard conversation with your partner, with your mother, about, hey, these are the next steps I'm taking, and it might make you uncomfortable, but it's really exciting for me and I'm really looking forward to doing this. This is a way for our brain to feel better. Right, we're going to soothe the connection.
Speaker 2:I'm afraid of there being disconnection by me going after this goal. So how can you soothe that? Or it might be that we have to make peace with the disconnection, that you have to choose your dream of dying your hair pink. I'm not even going to say anything ridiculous, right? Sometimes this is simple, as, like, I want to dye my hair pink, but I'm afraid that my mom is going to disown me because I dyed my hair pink. And if that is the case, again you get to have the conversation with yourself. Is it that I would like to have a conversation with her about why I'm dyeing my hair pink? Or is it that I need to decide within myself that it doesn't matter what other people's opinions are and that I have my own back? There's no wrong answer. Here Again, it's about you being in alignment. So if your goals disrupt your sense of comfort or threatens your safety, so if your goals disrupt your sense of comfort or threatens your safety, your motivation will get zapped. So this is where discipline comes in.
Speaker 2:I looked up the definition of discipline and it was actually a little bit scary, slash, comical to me. I say scary because they're very strong definitions and that's why it was comical to me, because I feel this is probably why people don't like the word discipline, why it's a scary word, why it feels cumbersome. Okay, so here are the definitions. The first definition is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience. I was like well, no wonder nobody wants to be disciplined. We're not using punishment to correct disobedience and we're not looking for obedience. Please know that I am just literally reading these definitions from the internet and I'm going to apply my own little change to them. The practice of training people who obey rules or a code of behavior using punishment to correct disobedience. I would say that this is an outdated definition of discipline. Correct disobedience. I would say that this is an outdated definition of discipline.
Speaker 2:For me, discipline is the practice of training to obey the own rules and code of behavior that you have decided. We're not going to use punishment, though, to get us to be disciplined. We're going to use our. Why we're going to use, why is this important to you? To be our discipline, to be our motivation for why we stick to what we're doing right?
Speaker 2:The second definition that the dictionary gives us of discipline is a branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education. So sociology is a discipline of knowledge, right? I decided to come up with my own new discipline definition. My definition is the art of being consistent and following through with the goals you have set forth. It's very simple Discipline is the art of being consistent and following through with the goals you have set forth. Period. That's my definition of discipline. That's what I've decided. That it is because motivation for me is the excitement it's when the fire gets lit right. Right, discipline is the person that's stoking the fire. That's putting more logs in, that's changing the logs around so the fire continues to burn. Right, you can set a fire.
Speaker 2:But if you set a fire and you walk away, that fire will die Right, literally. But the fire that keeps going is the fire that's stoked. You poke at that fire, you add more logs to that fire. The fire is going to die down and you have to continue to add to it. You have to continue to pour into yourself, to continue that discipline right.
Speaker 2:Motivation is the spark. Discipline is what keeps it going. Take it if it sticks to you, leave it if it doesn't. So here's my question for you what are you going to do when you don't feel like doing it? What are you going to do when you don't feel like doing it? If your goal of starting a blog, starting a family, meeting your person, getting a raise, getting a better job, traveling to Europe if that is sincerely important to you, what are you going to do when you don't feel like doing it, when you don't feel like getting up and working out, when you don't feel like getting up and writing another blog, when you don't feel like look y'all, I'm sick recording this podcast. My why is that? I love helping people step back into alignment, understand that their power is not lost, they are not broken, they are not behind and giving them the tools that they need to create success as they see success. That is what gets me up, even when I'm sick. Right, and I have some other beautiful goals around there of what I'm going to do in the future with my growing business and how I'm going to live my life, as I continue to stoke this fire of life coaching. That is my fire, that's what lights me up, that's what I'm going to continue to stoke. What are you going to continue to do? What is your why? Rather, what is your why and what are you going to do when you don't feel like doing your why, when you don't feel like getting up anymore? What are you gonna do when your motivation dies?
Speaker 2:Recently in accountability club, we are doing our last session. I am so like I'm excited for them. I mean, it's also really bittersweet anytime I end a program or in the time with a client. It's so bittersweet because I know that I have done everything in my power to give them all of the tools that they need to be successful. So it's really exciting. It's like mama bears kicking the babies out of the nest. They're about to jump out of the nest. We have our last session of accountability club next week. But it's also like bitter for me, because I love the relationships that get built in these containers and how we get to connect with each other and see each other through.
Speaker 2:Okay, I started in this how I felt when I was starting and now I'm not exactly where I want to be, but this is what I've done in this time together, and then my goal too is that hopefully these women continue to keep in touch beyond our time together. They all have each other's contact information. But so we just did accountability club last week, um, and we were going through our wheel of life and accountability club last week and we were going through our wheel of life. And when we went through the wheel of life, I had each of them create one or decide on one habit in each area, either one habit they were going to maintain. So if they're already meal prepping in their health and fitness and that's a goal for them, they may maintain that goal. Maybe they're not already meal prepping and that might be a habit that they want to set. But in every single area of our wheel of life. I said I want you to identify one habit that you'd like to maintain or one habit that you'd like to create.
Speaker 2:So we went through and we did the whole wheel of life. Then, at the end of it, I asked them. I said okay, now go to your future self that, following through with these habits, what might get in her way? What might get in her way? And the other way to think about this is what has gotten in your way before. The last time you said you were going to meal prep. The last time you said you were going to start your business. The last time you said you were going to sell something online. The last time you said you were going to go to a networking event, what got in your way? What stopped you from showing up? Was it that you didn't know where the location was, so you got nervous about parking? Was it that you were just scared in general, like you're just scared, you're scared to get a line, you're scared to show your face, you're scared of what people are going to think.
Speaker 2:Great, identify what got in your way or identify what you think might get in your way and then solve for it. If you're afraid that, okay, I have this big dream to be a blogger and an influencer and a content creator and I specifically want to do. Healthy meals for moms. That's what I love. I'm a mom. I love making healthy meals. I love sharing it with people. It's so exciting, but I'm just really afraid about putting my face online. Okay, great, let's pause. Do you have to put your face online, cause you do it with your hands and voiceovers. Is there a class or a coach that you could hire that you could then learn about confidence or you could learn about being online? Is there a book that you could read that might give you a little bit more confidence? Might you just start. Might you just put up your camera and start recording, maybe knowing that I'm not gonna post this one. I'm not gonna post until I've recorded 10 of them and then, after I've recorded 10 of them, I've recorded 10 of them and then, after I've recorded 10 of them, I'm going to post after that, because at least I've had 10 times practice.
Speaker 2:Solve for the fear. Get clear on what is coming up for you. But what if? Dot, dot, dot. Solve for that. But what if? What if that comes up? Are you willing to show up anyway, or are you going to stay in the cave of comfort right, the cave in our brain of comfort? That's like no, I'm just. I'm just going to stay here. I know I said I wanted to be a blogger, but you know, it's fine, I'll just work this job forever and it's okay. I don't really like this job and it's you know I don't really enjoy it, but I'd rather be in the pain of this job rather than the pain of, you know, putting my face online right. There's that comfortable discomfort, the comfort of where you are while uncomfortable right is more comfortable than the discomfort of going and becoming the person that you want to be right.
Speaker 3:The quote that I have.
Speaker 2:That goes hand in hand with that. I was going to save to Liam and I'm actually going to bring it up now. We must all suffer one of two things the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. This is by Jim Rohn. He's an author, he's an entrepreneur, he passed away, but what he's saying here at least my interpretation of it we must all suffer one of two things the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The pain of discipline is the pain, the discomfort of getting up and doing a new thing, or getting up and consistently posting online, consistently moving your body, consistently getting up and going to networking events, putting yourself out there, whatever it is that makes you uncomfortable in the moment. Right, and think about going to the gym, our gym metaphor. Right, the first time you lift a weight that's heavier than the weights you've lifted before, you can choose that discomfort, the pain of discipline, or you can put down that weight and you can walk away and say it's too heavy, I don't want to do this, it's too hard, right, and then maybe you suffer the pain of regret. I don't want any of us to suffer the pain of regret and I would say, as long as you have breath in your body, especially if you're listening to this podcast. It is not too late. It is not too late. And so, if you're feeling some pains of regret, what are they coming from? And how might we step back into alignment now? How does your best self feel and show up in the world? What are they doing? How do they show up for themselves? How do they take care of themselves? Right? So, coming back to Accountability Club, I had them all think through. All right, let's say that is.
Speaker 2:Your goal is to work out five times a week in 2025. What does that look like? Start to make a plan. Is that in the afternoons? Is that in the mornings? Is that in the evenings? Is that cardio? Is that fitness? And it's not about getting it so fine tuned that you specifically have to stick to the specific plan, but it's about fine tuning it. So, that way, when you go to take, what do you enjoy? Are you going to pole dancing classes? What? How is this going to be fun? So that way, when your brain goes to take the action, you have all the answers. There's no questions left to answer and you can just take action.
Speaker 2:Be honest. Be honest with whatever comes up. Right, I know it can be embarrassing to think, oh right, I know it can be embarrassing to think, oh yeah, I know. Like I always set my alarm at five, but I never get out of bed at five. I always get out of bed at 545, right, be honest with yourself.
Speaker 2:What is getting in your way? Why is it that you think you're not getting up at the time you want to get up? Do we need to go backwards and do we need to go to bed a little bit earlier? Are you stressed out from work and so you're not sleeping, and so, with you not sleeping and you're waking up later and that's why you're not waking up on time? Or are you going to bed on time and your alarm goes off and you're just not motivated? You're like this doesn't matter, it doesn't even matter if I wake up at five in the morning every day and do my workout. Nothing would change. Nothing would change anyway. Be honest about what comes up.
Speaker 2:How do you think you will feel in the having of your goal? Right, that's the next question for you, after you've figured out. Okay, these are the things that I think are going to get in my way. Solve for them Now. How do you think you will feel in the having of your goal? Go to the future version of yourself. Who has been consistent with running? Who has been consistent with going to networking events? Who has been consistent with meal planning? Who has been consistent with talking to themselves with more kindness? Who has been consistent with meditating? Who has been consistent with going to church? Who's been consistent with talking to their mom and dad more often? Whatever it is for you that you're wanting to be more consistent and disciplined with, go to the future version of you. Who has been consistent, who has been disciplined. How do you think you will feel from that place when you follow through and you follow through, and you follow through and you follow through some more?
Speaker 2:The last little metaphor and story I think I'm going to leave you all with is one that really spoke to me when I first started my coaching journey, and I don't remember which coach brought this to my attention, but it's one that I think gives me a really good, honest kick in the pants when I need it. I want you to think about your favorite mentor, maybe celebrity, author, actress. It doesn't even have to be a famous person, just something that you really, really admire and look up to Something that you admire. You really appreciate who they are in the world and that if you could have like five minutes of their time to just like pick their brain and learn from them would be invaluable, right? Who is that person for you? And if you don't have a person, that's totally fine. But the story as it was brought to me was like Beyonce. They're like what if it was Beyonce? Right, I personally like Beyonce, but I'm not a huge Beyonce fan. So for me, I put in Adele.
Speaker 2:I love Adele, adele or John Mayer those are my favorite singer, songwriters, and so, um, when I think about that, it's like if Adele invited me or your person invited you. It's like, hey, yeah, I can absolutely meet with you. I only have about a half hour and I can meet you at five in the morning, right, because they have a busy schedule, they're running around there, they're living their best life, right? So I'm thinking Adele, she's in Vegas doing her Vegas show, she sings, and so she also says Mom, so she's busy, right. And so she tells me yes, nadia, I can meet with you, we can chat, but it's only for like 30 minutes and I can meet you at like five in the morning or over, whoever, it is right you bet you're behind.
Speaker 2:I am going to get up and get ready and make sure I look good, I brush my teeth, I am put together, I am ready for this meeting at five in the morning, right? Treat yourself with the same respect. Treat your goals with the same excitement. Right, if you would. I know that that was true for me. When I was listening to that story, I was like man. That is so true.
Speaker 2:If my favorite person, if my mentor, was willing to meet with me and talk to me for 30 minutes on this day, at this time, and I had to, like, figure it out, I would figure it out. Treat your goals the same way. You are just as important. You are just as important as Beyonce, oprah, adele, whoever else. Right, your life is just as valuable. So, if you would get up to meet them at five in the morning or whatever, meet yourself at that time. And again, I'm using that example because that's what's coming up for me and a lot of my clients, please listen to what is speaking to you. You do not have to get up at five in the morning to be a successful human being. That is not the message I'm sending here. I am saying give yourself the same respect and excitement that you would if a mentor was coming into your life and they could speak to you. Right, keep yourself the same love and excitement for your goals. They are just as important. You are just as important. Okay, give yourself that same excitement and respect.
Speaker 2:All right, my friends, you got some marching orders. You got this, and your motivation starts to fizzle out. What are those logs you're going to throw on the fire? What are your whys? What's important to you? What's going to motivate you? Go to that future version of yourself who has the thing you have.
Speaker 2:And here's the other thing. Let's say that you did decide I'm going to wake up at 5 am every single day and I'm going to work out, and you try it out, and maybe it's not a good fit for you. Changing your mind is not you giving up. It's not you being undisciplined Shift. If 5 am doesn't work and instead you want to work out in the evenings, then do that. Be willing to change your mind. Changing your mind does not mean that you're undisciplined, right? You know the difference between sporadically changing your mind and doing different things all of the time, versus being disciplined, trying something out, noticing that it doesn't fit you in your lifestyle and then choosing to try something else. You know the difference, trust yourself and, as always my friends, take what sticks to you, leave the rest. I'll see you next week, hey friend.
