I started vlogging on YouTube if you guys don't already know, I post all about it on my social media. But I started to post on YouTube every single week. I've been doing vlogs and it's been really fun. And a lot of you guys have been enjoying the behind the scenes of the podcast and going into the city and all that type of stuff. So definitely make sure that you guys check that out. I want to get into today's episode, which is all about self-discipline, doing things you don't want to do. And we're going to be talking about my best tips when it comes to self-discipline. I am huge on |
| 1:44.9 | self-discipline. I think it is so important, especially when it comes to business and just life and |
| 1:50.4 | health. Honestly, your life in general, not just business or fitness. Your life in general, you need |
| 1:55.7 | discipline no matter what. And I feel like recently because I've been so busy in my own life and because I've been |
| 2:02.4 | very go, go, go, especially uploading a podcast episode every single day, uploading a vlog every |
| 2:08.4 | single week, doing social media for multiple hours a day. My work days, I wake up every morning at |
| 2:13.5 | 7 or 8 a.m. I usually go to a workout class, come back, and I am working until 8 or 9 p.m. |
| 2:18.1 | And I love it. I wouldn't treat it for the world. But it's definitely a lot. It's a lot of work. And it's work that I love to do, but also work that could be a little bit overwhelming to do. So even though it's been a lot and it's been a crazy journey, I love it a lot, but I've had to learn a lot of self-discipline in order to have good |
| 2:35.2 | habits and to build a good routine. I had to learn to discipline myself. I had to learn to do things I don't always want to do. I don't always want to wake up at 7.30 in the morning on a gloomy, rainy day and go to the gym. I don't. That was today. I'm recording this on Wednesday. and so I like to pre-record some of my episodes just to stay on track for you guys. |
| 2:53.7 | But it is Wednesday and it is gloomy as hell. |
| 2:57.3 | It is rainy. |
