Thanks for the advice. I struggle with discipline. The first step is always very exciting for me. The second step is what stops me from keep doing stuff.
Honestly so true. Willpower is so important when it comes to working out. Just remembering why you're doing it, and knowing that its so worth it once all is said and done!
The fact that someone I like, give a motivational speech.. it hits 100 times harder. Thank you 4 those words! Specially for mentioning what Discipline is
This is really helpful for so many parts of life. The honest truth is some days im not motivated by work - its boring or im struggling etc, but its disclipline that makes me go, and ive definately seen people who dont have that and how much they struggle in life.
Nothing you said felt negative. It's just the truth. There are no secrets. There are no shortcuts. Quick and/or easy is just temporary. With time and effort you create something worthwhile.
Thank you, I really needed this. There's a whole number of things I wanna start or restart doing, but I felt like I was missing something because I didn't feel like doing any of it. Turns out I just have to be fine with that, not extatic, not angry, just fine. It's gonna be fine, not amazing, not agonizing. I simply need to find a point of entry that feels manageable.
you're so right tho like I hate the way that discipline is displayed because it makes people even more afraid same with the motivation it's like excuse after excuse to just be lazy and I'm so glad someone is finally talking about it. love you and all that you do!❤❤
I thank you, from my life experience's this is all so true. I don't no what else to say but thankyou again, I love it and the wisdom you are trying to impart. Cheers. Also you and your friends are fun and beautiful to watch.
Absolutely spot on! Writing my first novel and motivation got me started but discipline has gotten me through so far and will have me finish it. Love your voice, btw.
As a person who struggle with even the most basic of everyday life, I needed a lil boost like this so Thank you! So much, I always felt like a failure cuz it/everything seems so easy for everyone else. But I recently realised that I should just focus on how much better I did today then yesterday, it´s the thought that helps me maintain discipline
I think it's more the Combination of using Motivation as a temporary Kickstart and then just keeping up doing whatever you've started. I can see that with my Work on my PnP-RPG-System and my first Novel as well. Both had their Kickstart Moment a while ago and now, it's just about how to keep going and being constantly involved with working on it while still dealing with everyday Life as well. It's hard as f*ck, especially for me and all my physical & psychological Issues. But I also know, that I would feel even worse, if I would give it up all together. So, keeping moving forward and doing as best as I can is the only Option right now. 😅👍🏻
Also, not to double comment.... This vid is inspiring... Motivation is different then discipline and if you hate something at a moment and you keep hating it, your giving yourself an ick and its very hard to shrug that off again.... Social media is but a take and snap-shot.. everything looks easy and perfect if you can record/take a pic over and over until right....and then edit it... Be yourself and do you.... Doing someone else is exhausting and won't lead you anywhere but feeling like you are duping yourself....
I feel like you just gave me a mental weapon to go through some challenges right now. Gonna put it in my little toolbox, maybe I'll get my shits together. Respect 🌞🌞
Excellent! I agree. One other thing I hope more people break out of is the idea of "fake it 'til you make it." No one should ever fake anything. Be real... be yourelf... all the time.
Yeah, I get the message. I think it's surprising what you can bear if you make a habit out of it. At some poing you are so deep into it that you don't even consider quitting anymore.
I've been feeling this way since I started posting on Insta. I hate how I look and I am afraid to continue posting, but I already got stuff for an idea of what I want to do, so... yeah. I'm happy I came across this video; I may need to rewatch it multiple times to keep feeling good about myself.
Couch to Barbell (book) helped me get started, folks! It introduces you to the fundamental forms. It's not the Program to End All Programs (you will plateau), and it has no accessory work, but it will help with getting started.
Dude, you have no idea how helpful this was. Thanks so much dude (After I injected myself with protein powder, I accidentally grew two arms out of my back. I don't think that was protein powder)
Hi from north Dakota 🙂 I say that your always looking beautiful 😊❤I say that I still got this pow wow to go to this month I'm gonna go dancing I'm excited about it but I don't know if I'm able to dance now cause I hurt my ankle the other day
I have a question, and it is completely from professional point of view.... How do you prepare your muscles, and the aftercare especially 😊 thanks for this window in your life with the gym and cosplay vids ❤
I drink a lot of water to go with creatine, make sure to hit my protein goal, and rest! A full night of sleep really helps recovery and I’ll occasionally use the massage chair at my gym
@@Athena_grimes depends on the chair...but we (sport-masseuses) don't like to hear that 😅🤣 Knots 😓 A jacuzzi however (hottub even better...) 👌👌👌, or warm oil and a nice massage (i think you have a volunteer for that lol) (enriched with Almond is great for soft skin too, and with ecalyptus is heaven to cool down muscles or when you pulled/overworked something. Thanks for sharing 🥰 Btw, your muscles are fire 😍, schoulders and back 👌 (the names of those doesn't really translate, least i dunno them in English, am Flemish from smoll Belgium 🤣) Am curious about the warm up routine tho
Perfectionism has prevented me from starting various hobbys for so, so long. I often feel like I have to researching things to death before even dipping a toe in. I want to go back in time and shake younger me so my brain stops thinking that way. Ha.

Ответь мне, Петенька. - Овечка даёт нам мясо и шерсть. - Правильно. А что даёт нам корова? Вовочка, ну ответь на мой вопрос. - А корова даёт нам домашнее задание.

Seeing your profile picture was really confusing for me for a few seconds :,D
Thanks for the advice.
I struggle with discipline.

Thank you for a positive, real take on just being yourself ❤
I hope to be strong and fit in the future and now I have you as my motivation! Thanks for helping me be better motivated Athena! ❤💪🏻
This is so honest and it’s so amazing how you don’t try to sugarcoat it like most people would do❤
this video is really down to earth well done athena
Athena's words are real and very true. I appreciate you.
Totally agree and love everything you had to say. ps... I actually love your voice. You could easily be a professional announcer or V.O. actress.

When self discipline gets you started, the satisfaction when you finish is that much greater.
Honest advice thank you

That was the most inspirational thing I have ever heard

"Everything is easy....you just have to know how, and have the discipline and character to learn it," i live by this ....
Your voice is amazing, also i am feeling a lot better after watching this. Thank you for making this video
That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching!
@@Athena_grimes your welcome 🥰
I like many others love your cosplays, and your gym vids... but am also glad you made this vid.
I feel like you just gave me a mental weapon to go through some challenges right now.
Gonna put it in my little toolbox, maybe I'll get my shits together.
Respect 🌞🌞
I don't think I've ever heard it said a better way. Thank you.
Just start. Even if it's difficult, it will get easier but you have to start.
I also hate my voice in recordings. honestly needed to hear this atm, beeen struggling with disciple lately in my life.
Excellent! I agree.
One other thing I hope more people break out of is the idea of "fake it 'til you make it." No one should ever fake anything. Be real... be yourelf... all the time.
Best clip I’ve seen in a while. 👏👏👏
You've posted a lot of amazing things.... But this is the best.
Motivation is a lie. Discipline is real.
This hits a lot harder than I ever expected.
I have no idea who you are, but good for you for having a productive perspective on life stay safe stay strong and good luck in the coming year.
Im so early🤩 love you Athena!❤
Geez, you really are the goddess of wisdom and i am now leaving inspired.
I love this because I have seen people without any discipline and when it gets hard they quit
Yeah, I get the message. I think it's surprising what you can bear if you make a habit out of it. At some poing you are so deep into it that you don't even consider quitting anymore.
I've been feeling this way since I started posting on Insta. I hate how I look and I am afraid to continue posting, but I already got stuff for an idea of what I want to do, so... yeah. I'm happy I came across this video; I may need to rewatch it multiple times to keep feeling good about myself.
Have a nice rest of your and keep doing the good work
That's a game changer. Everyone needs to hear this message. Big truth pill
Yeah I struggle with discipline too. I flake out on so many things. But I’m getting better. 🙂👍
Wow. You should be a motivational speaker. You really made me think
Couch to Barbell (book) helped me get started, folks! It introduces you to the fundamental forms. It's not the Program to End All Programs (you will plateau), and it has no accessory work, but it will help with getting started.
motivation is fleeting
Motivation isn’t the right word.
Discipline is so on point!!!
Huh. Learned something today. Thanks! Start and keep going no matter what. I'll go for a walk!
Nice!!
This unironically this motivates me 😅
As an older LARPer who struggles with starting active so they can keep running around the woods, thanks for the boost.
Well spoken.
Dude, you have no idea how helpful this was. Thanks so much dude (After I injected myself with protein powder, I accidentally grew two arms out of my back. I don't think that was protein powder)
Speaking straight truth/facts
True. Very true.
so wise!
Cosplay love ❤
Speak the truth preach
You are gorgeous woman! wow!
Athena is on the path.
