Discipline on a bad day looks like climbing Mount Everest at first.
But in reality, it’s much smaller than that.
It’s moving.
It’s taking action when everything in you says, no, we’re not doing anything today.
You tell yourself you can’t do anything — but that’s not true.
You can always do something.
It might be as simple as taking the trash to the curb.
Walking around the block.
Or maybe taking a two-mile hike.
Something is always better than nothing.
Doing a little something now makes it easier to do the big things later.
On a bad day, discipline looks like waking up sore and tired, when the last thing you want to do is move — let alone work out or go for a walk. Your mind and body want comfort. They want you to stay still.
Instead of listening to that voice, you get up.
You move.
You do something.
Don’t lay there. Get up.
Because the more you move, the easier it gets.
And what if you don’t finish the whole workout?
What if you don’t do everything you said you would?
That’s okay.
It’s not failure.
It’s information.
It’s a chance to do better next time.
Move the mark a little further tomorrow — but don’t quit.
And never miss two days in a row.
Missing one day is life. It happens.
Missing two days is a choice — and that’s how patterns start.
Patterns that are very hard to break.
