Happy New Year! Is it me, or does it feel as if it’s been more than just two weeks? Usually, I share my perplexity about how time flies and how I can barely catch my breath, but this year feels different :)
DisciplineThat being said, I have decided that
2026 will be the year of discipline and focus!You see, when life throws chaos, emotions, uncertainty, or fatigue at you, discipline is the pillar that keeps you grounded instead of reactive.
Discipline is the anchor, and it can be trained.Most people think discipline comes from motivation. It doesn’t
.It comes from structure + repetition + the subconscious.I was listening to an episode of
"The Diary of a CEO" podcast with Chris Williamson as the guest, and Chris identified the following habits with the highest ROI:
1. No phone in the bedroom
2. Walk in the morning
3. No alcohol for 6 months
4. A 10-min walk after each meal
#1 on the list has been my biggest challenge for years, so it is time to overcome it!:)
Do you have any habits or changes you intend to make this year?
