We often assume disciplined people just have something we don’t — more time, more motivation, more willpower.
But that’s not true. Discipline didn’t come naturally to me; it became a practice of consistently showing up.
For years, I went to the gym at 5:30am — which meant waking up at 4:30, leaving by 5.
It worked… until it didn’t. Eventually, it led to burnout.
So I found a new way.
I started using the fitness center at work during my lunch break.
It was uncomfortable. I felt self-conscious. I didn’t know what I was doing.
But I always felt better after — so I kept showing up.
Even on the days I didn’t want to.
Even when excuses were easy.
And eventually, something shifted.
It became the best part of my day.
Now it’s just part of who I am.
I notice when I don’t show up.
I found a routine that fits me.
That’s what consistency looks like — not perfection, just persistence.
You might think, “I don’t have time.”
But check your scroll time or how often the TV’s on.
We make time for what matters — and showing up for yourself should matter most.
Because the truth is simple:
✨ You won’t see change if you don’t show up!
