Message #15: Discipline isn’t control — it’s devotion
Hiya ,
Let’s reframe something that’s probably been loaded for many of us: discipline.
For so many of us, it’s been tied to pressure, restriction, or the need to prove something. But real discipline — the kind that’s sustainable — comes from devotion.
It’s not about pushing yourself to keep up. It’s about returning to what matters to you, over and over again. It’s how you anchor into your values, your growth, your sense of self.
Discipline becomes powerful when it’s rooted in care, not control.
You don’t need to be perfect to be consistent. You just need to remember what you’re showing up for — and why it matters to you.
Try this this week:
Pick one habit or practice that supports you and come back to it — not out of pressure, but because it helps you feel grounded in who you’re becoming.
