Frequently Asked Friday: How can I be more disciplined?
How to Be More Disciplined
A great definition of discipline comes from Jim Rohn: doing what you ought to do, when you ought to do it, whether you feel like it or not.
Forget genetic predispositions or willpower superpowers. Discipline isn’t some magical quality reserved for the “chosen few.”
Discipline is a habit, just like brushing your teeth or making your bed. And like any habit, it can be cultivated, nurtured, and strengthened over time.
Think of building discipline just like building a muscle. Each time you choose the salad over the fries, the early morning jog over the extra hour of sleep, you’re flexing your discipline muscle.
It will feel tough at first, but with each action, those choices develop into big changes.
To develop discipline, follow the P.A.R.R. method.
Plan, Act, Record, Reassess. This framework, developed by The Habit Factor®, helps you build discipline along with any habit you choose to develop.
PLAN
ACT
RECORD
REASSESS
The magic of PARR lies in its feedback loop.
Habit-tracking fosters powerful self-awareness. You see your wins, acknowledge your slips, and course-correct with renewed momentum. It’s a cycle of reinforcement that fuels continued growth.
The beauty of this approach is its universality. Want to write a novel? Track your daily word or page count. Craving a clutter-free home? Schedule decluttering sessions and measure your progress.
Each tracked habit becomes a stepping stone on the path to a more disciplined you.
Remember, becoming “disciplined” isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, especially when it's hard.
It's about taking those small, consistent steps, knowing that each one fosters more strength for the next habit you decide to track.
Embrace the challenge, celebrate the victories (big and small), follow the PARR habit-building method (see template below) and track your way to a more empowered and disciplined you.
Enjoy the show!

BACKGROUND:
The Grunburg Behavior Model introduced a groundbreaking perspective on behavior change with its concept of the “Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System.” Unlike traditional models that portray human behavior as a linear chain of cause and effect (see CBT or TTM), this holistic and dynamic model unveils the intricate interplay of forces shaping our actions, thoughts, feelings, and the environment and how each perpetually reverberates to influence the other.
By illustrating human behavior within a personal 'echo-system,' the model highlights the continuous vibrational influence of thoughts (stories), emotions/feelings, and behaviors/habits/skills and our environment, creating a ripple effect that influences every aspect of our lives. The innovative and simple behavior model reveals a precise road map for anyone seeking lasting personal transformation and goal achievement. The model adds a layer of realism to our understanding of how we interact with the world around us while at the same time, challenging conventional models and wisdom.
The Grunburg Behavior Model simplistically articulates the essence of behavior, capturing its fluid and interconnected nature while paving the way for a more comprehensive and impactful understanding of human dynamics.
