I have always struggled with self-discipline. I am not a naturally disciplined person. I think that's one of my biggest faults and yet I've been able to achieve a lot of

freely awesome things including having a house that's clean and tidy all the time

despite I hate the word lazy, but I'm going to say it,

despite being kind of lazy, and feeling like discipline is still not my strong suit. Hey Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast.

I wanted to talk about self-discipline today. Welcome back to the Clutterbug Podcast.

I wanted to talk about self-discipline today

because I feel like I had one of those aha moments

this morning and I really wanted to share it with you. I like I said I'm not a person who is good with discipline.

I'm not so great at parenting myself. I'm slightly irresponsible, impulsive, I struggle to create new habits and I make a lot of silly choices sometimes.

I mean, I'm saying this, I feel like I'm being really hard on myself because there was a time in my life where all I ever did was make bad choices and now I'm very aware of my impulsivity and very aware that I tend to sometimes just not adult well.

So it's something that's always in the back of my mind and I'm like self-correcting quite often to try to keep myself in line but it's it's effort and one of the things I do most is try to come up with ways to get around putting an effort.

I like shortcuts. I want to have all the good amazing things in life, but I don't want to be a person that works 24-7 because that isn't me. I am not a 5 a.m. I read that book, the 5 a.m.

club or whatever. I am not the person to get up at 5 a.m.

Go for a run. I want to be that person. I am not the person to make all my food from

scratch and grind my own flower and go get eggs from my chicken coop every morning. I want to be that person.

But at the end of the day I'm too lazy. Ugh and I hate the word lazy but I guess maybe that stuff isn't a priority to me.

I don't know but we're going to talk about my aha moment that I had today because I have really big goals for myself and I've always wanted big, crazy, insane things.

When I think about all the actual big goals that I've achieved,

what's different between those goals and the ones I have not been able to achieve?

I was thinking about that this morning and I was also thinking about

goals that I was doing really well with and then kind of fell off the wagon and kind of getting to like why and I'm reading books and I'm listening to podcasts and I was actually listening to Mel Robbins podcast this morning on self-discipline and she talks about it being simple discipline that's what she said

because she struggles with like the big self-discipline like I'm going to be an amazing superhero person today.
