Did you tell yourself you want to be more intentional in 2025 but somewhere along the way you have given in to last year’s habits that did not serve you?
Want to know what’s missing?
It’s Discipline.
Discipline is more than just willpower, it’s about setting a standard for yourself and sticking to it, no matter what. It’s the commitment to follow through on your intentions, even when motivation fades.
Being intentional is important, but without discipline, intentions alone aren’t enough to create lasting change.
The key to staying disciplined? Make it as easy as possible to follow through!
Start by proactively removing distractions from your day. Clear out anything that distracts your focus or creates resistance.
This could mean prepping your meals the night before, laying out your workout clothes, or setting boundaries around your time and energy. This could also mean asking for help when needed.
When you reduce resistance, you create a clear path to success. You’re not battling decision fatigue or giving in to convenience. You are setting yourself up to win.
Here’s how to make it work: Decide. Plan. Execute.
Decide: Establish your standards and commit to them.
Plan: Proactively set your day up for success by removing obstacles and distractions.
Execute: Follow through with intention and consistency, no excuses.

Discipline is the foundation that supports your intentions. Set your standard, remove resistance, and take intentional actions daily.
It’s not always easy, but no one ever says, “Dang it! Wish I didn’t workout today!”.
When you have discipline you will live a more focused, productive, and less stressed life.
