I'm gracing you with a guide. "Schizotypalcel making a fucking guide?" You might think, yes, r****d, i am.
First, i'm going to state, no matter what you are going through self discipline will help you though it. Be it homework, work, simple tasks, this guide is for the incompetent or the ones who struggle to get up and shower.
Summary of my outlook on Discipline
Discipline is often misunderstood as control, a set of external rules pressed upon the will, i see it operating as a cross road to freedom, habit, and purpose.
At disciplines root, it's not about suppression, it's about alignment. Every person in the world universally has impulses, tendencies, and distractions that scatter attention in many directions. With discipline you are creating a scenario where you grab that scattered energy and hammer it down until your focus has a chosen end. In sense, discipline is an act of self realization and sculpting of oneself -> it is the purposeful shaping of the self into a form capable of reaching what most desire alone cannot.
Step 1. Start small, even if it's insultingly small.
Lower your idea of this discipline coming over night, that impulse you get at 5.am to workout isn't a sense of clarity that you have been waiting for it's impulse. Everyone has it though, so don't worry. You aren't pathetic for laying in your bed all day, it's resistance, everything that you feel is overbearing is and don't downplay it.
This is where you need to pick out what you need to do, shower, make your bed, drink a glass of fucking water if all i care. The point isn't the act btw, it's reclaiming a fragment of agency in a sense.
Step 2. Building a routine anchor
Like i said above, this shit will not come instantly so all those wishes for tomorrow getting better isn't what we are here for.
I've said before to many find a cement routine even if it's watering a plant only, going on a walk in the morning, or a time set to clean your dresser from the mc Donald's you ate last week.
I can't emphasize this enough though, NO NEGOTIATION WITH YOURSELF. Depressed brains, people struggling to do normal tasks, overthinking shit, you live in a loop hole, discipline closes them.
Explanation. Feelings vs actions
This is where you need to pay attention, depression for instance often fuses feelings and actions together. Another loop hole that can be exploited, an example would be "i feel like shit, therefore i can't do shit." Discipline is that machete that cuts that mangled illusion in half. You act despite the feeling, not because the feelings changed. When tempted with inconsistency due to many things, you often lose a sense of why anything matters. It's stoic sounding, emotion is weather, discipline is architecture. Discipline can't rely on motivation itself though n***a, but it can attach itself to a purpose, a chosen purpose, even if it's small.
For example: "I'm going to take this shower not because i feel good, but because i don't want to smell like schizotypalcel, future me doesn't deserve that."
Purpose gives the act a spine to hold itself up with, when feelings are seen as mush.
I will make a part 2 soon, i can't be asked to finish this rn. I have shit to do.
