A year ago when I first watched this, I lacked discipline. I was unmotivated & uninspired. However as I worked on my resistance to discipline I found myself capable of cultivating it and therefore manifesting things I wanted. I now have one business and am working on a second. I am much happier and much more centered. I wake up early and go to bed early. I eat healthy, I move my body daily, and I feel good in my body. My life has done a 180 in a year, and I expect it will keep getting better since learning this tool. Thank you.
Good for you! You should be very proud of yourself. I’m extremely unmotivated and then I used to be disciplined when I was younger. I’m going to try! Thanks for sharing.
@@whitebirchtarot I'm in the same boat as you. I am setting myself small, daily achievable goals to rebuild my discipline. For example, just walking 100m a day.
When asking myself “how do you feel about discipline?” I realized my child self associates the word discipline with punishment, ie “you need to discipline your child” … and that I have made a pattern of avoiding discipline in order to protect myself from pain and humiliation. Thank you Teal for shining the light on discipline and achievement. I feel inspired to reassess some of my attitudes and truly appreciate the idea of resistance as an alarm to look deeper.
Wow I have seen this video many months ago and I am rewatching it again. I just realized why I feel discomfort around word discipline and struggle with it and then it occurred to me that I associate discipline with punishment and disappointment. You spoke my mind.
Oh wow, thank you for pointing out what should be obvious ! It is of course detrimental to associate the word with being beaten... My mind is blown. Ty
I was groomed at an early age to plow through life and have tunnel vision in every activity I would do. I had an Asian mom who was very critical and offered very little validation so I had to work my ass off and everything I did from school to Piano Lessons to swimming to tap dancing… I had to put up with the pain and the discomfort on a really intense level. I remember going to swim practice in the winter and shivering and having this dread in the pit of my stomach of having to do things that I didn’t want to do. So you could say I developed discipline at a very young age but at a price because I learned how to turn off my own inner flag system of discernment and it took me a while to learn what it is that I truly wanted versus what other people wanted of me. I’ve also gotten myself into dangerous situations by ignoring my red flag a system of discernment. So there’s definitely a balance with disciplining yourself and knowing that what you were working towards is something that you truly want and it’s not a “have to” by someone else. Thank you for the video Teal. 🙏
Indeed, I get that... My parents were also very pushy and wanted me to do everything their way. For a long time discipline was my identity, but it was to do things I didn't want to. In order to maintain this discipline, I had to turn off my complete guidance system too. So discovering it again felt like a whole new adventure. I got so frustrated because I didn't understand my own emotions. I had gotten so good at ignoring it... Because of this for some time I had an aversion of discipline. But as you say, it should be in balance... Now that I've found the right path to take, discipline shall again be my friend... Kuddos for going after what you want! Keep on moving forward ^^. xoxo
I have friends who raised this way. Harsh indeed but also a blessing. I was raised with the exact opposite, almost a hippie-like freedom. I think there’s a happy medium between the two. I had to find self discipline on my own and I have areas of strength where this is now effortless. But larger goals create massive resistance and I think it’s related to the lack of that in my early life. Breaking out of our family and parental patterns is truly “the work.” I wish you well and hope you’re able to follow your urge and what sparks you!! I’ve found the Human Design readings have helped me understand my inner motivation and specifically ideas on how to stay more aligned with responding in alignment vs. bulldozing in a disconnected way. Loved this video for distinguishing between the two!!
Hello. I came from the opposite side of the spectrum. My parents gave me free range to do whatever I wanted and I dove head first into many things for the first time. I never stuck with it. Because I had the freedom to do what I please I went to college for many things and didnt a get a degree in any of them. I started many tasks and never finished. I chalked it up to flowing like the wind and if I didnt like it I was quick to walk away. Now, as a 32 year old woman I am just now learning discipline (its funny because I was in the military for 8 years where discipline is a key point and I still fought it tooth and nail). I absolutely agree with you on balance. Have discipline for those things that matter to you and that you are happy at sacrificing certain things for the betterment of self.
Wow, this is PACKED with so much important information. My lack of discipline stems from a reaction to corrupted motivation. When I was super fit it was not for me/my own personal health...it was to attract a mate and desire that others "wish they were as fit at me". When I took thousands of pictures of my kids and scrapbooked it was not for personal creative desire or even that my kids would enjoy it.. it was a desire to be perceived by other parents/teachers in a certain light. Once I would see the inauthentic motivation I couldn't get far enough away from the activity. Stopped taking photos completely, stopped working out completely, etc. Every relationship I entered into was me becoming what I perceived was what they would find most appealing or attractive. I had no idea who I was, I felt like I had no identity or personality of my own to bring to the table... simply that I was a reflection of what I thought the world wanted me to be. I'm 54 and the last 5 years I have slowly started to swim to the surface of that way of seeing this reality. This video, at the moment, feels like an elephant on my chest.
Wow! If you are still there/here, thank you. This comment is so insightful and relevant to/for me. It nails my current, present day present mind set, motives, and literal & figurative identity crisis, except I am 62! I hope you are well. XOXO

Thank you Teal. I feel deeply challenged through this message. I have been struggling with watching my son, who is 18, lack the motivation to do anything 'meaningful' in his life, but realise now that I, too, quit when something feels uncomfortable, I don't exercise or eat well. It starts with me, of course. Thank you. I am making changes TODAY.
Just start now. As someone who I struggled with weight just start now. My goals are to go from pudgy stomach to at least a flat stomach by Halloween that's 5 weeks. Not ABS or anything, but by Halloween you just have a straight up and down, slim trunk. No curves or circles LOL Thanksgiving is like 10 weeks away I'll probably start to see some ABS by then. Reason is by Christmas and New Year's I plan to look good enough to start only friends and move out of my house going from chubby loser to successful man in one swoop.
There was a time where I stopped being fully disciplined cause I had a belief that what I was working for wasn’t possible, worst time of my life, being disciplined about what I love is the best state no matter how painful Also I’ve got comedy skits on my channel about this that you might like too 💪😈🔥🏋️♀️💥
Ok, so... Quitting college - check Ordering doughnut while avoiding sugar- check Having a subconsious belief that no matter how hard I work, nothing works out for me - check Are you calling me out...? Just what I needed right now, seriously one of your best videos so far...thank you
You paid for a doughnut? Congratulations for getting a paid job! Unfulfilled potential satisfaction need not affect current happiness and life satisfaction. The journey through life ends, sooner or later. If you don't reach a goal before you die it would be nice if you enjoyed your life anyway.
'The Secret' really messed us (me) up. Everytime I didn't feel like doing anything, I allowed that excuse to be like if it doesn't feel good it isn't right for me.
I felt so called out about the sugar and donut part too, especially as I was eating ice cream. But to be fair, her topics always revolve around concepts and topics that have basis and are very studied in psychology but she presents them in a non-technical way that’s digestible by most people
I’m parenting a teenager. I’m now realizing I have not instilled enough discipline in my child for him to have intrinsic motivation. I am disciplined & was forced as a child to do everything. I was basically my parent’s slave. So I took the route that I would allow my child to just be a child. No chores. Nothing but the allowance for being a child. Unfortunately, at 13 my child is now facing hardships for finding motivation to accomplish much of anything. I now realize the role I have played in this. I’m going to use these techniques and start very slowly to ease him into developing discipline. I have talked a lot in the past about overcoming hardships & getting what we want through hard work and persistence, but in the end I have always handed everything to him on a silver platter. Now I need to help him to help himself develop self discipline & intrinsic motivation. Thank you, Teal, for making me realize this, because this is going to change our lives.
Literally truth bombs every 30 seconds or so, an insanely connected human being who thankfully has done so much work and also wanting and willing to give back to the world, thank you Teal, I am grateful.
There are so many goals I've bulldozed because of emotions and excuses. It's a dreadful feeling to see all the opportunities closed off due to this. But I suppose loss is a great motivator.
Not a loss but a setback, later is better than never!!! It will be sweeter because you overcame personal challenges and still achieved your goal! Pat yourself on the back for even just acknowledging what you wrote above 👆✨
Discipline is the masculine container in order for the feminine “flow/care freeness” can be able to exist without causing too much chaos in ones life.... it’s the yin yang ☯️
Discipline is difficult, especially when life is forever changing, new shiny things get dangled infront of you, and you get distracted. Especially if you are working on all areas of your life as a whole. Thank you for talking about such difficult topics. X
@@mrscott01 Strangely, overcoming your discipline hurdles only requires that you do ‘that’ thing that you know you must do to its full completeness everyday NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL. You not being in the mood or not feeling like it is your biggest hurdle!
There's a lot of work to do here. I self-disciplined and bulldozed myself into depression and chronic sickness. I'm on the other end of the pendulum at hedonism and rest. Looking for a balance of what is really important. Good luck to everyone. 💕

Thank you Teal 💜 Excercise has taught me this, I rarely want to work out and it is very uncomfortable but the rewards are literally life changing, I feel so well mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally when I excercise regularly, I can achieve anything when I'm exercising regularly. If I stop exercising, in about a week I become depressed, my body seems to age, I loose motivation etc.
The word “discipline” is from the Latin word disciplina meaning “instruction and training”. It’s derived from the root word discere - “to learn.” this is also where we get the word disciple... self discipline-aka self learning
And when your meditations, desires, disciplines, temperance, instructions and trainings become vague illusions, reflect on how you can bring them back into alignment with Source consciousness in order to better serve yourself and those around you with integrity. Any desire or discipline not in alignment with Source is an illusion and a waste of time.
Discipline has always felt like a nasty word to me ! Total resistance as soon as I heard it . I love this meaning " Self Learning ! " This is totally me ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank You for this very important new perspective ! 🤗 🌟🌟🌟
I got to 0:49 and I already "liked" this video. The New Age movement gives people the impression that life should be easier than it is. I'm glad a few people like Teal are saying otherwise. It's not the most popular message, but one we need to hear.
Meaning of this quote; If you think of yourself as the best at something, or being “out in front”, then you have no motivation to strive to be better, because you are already ahead of the pack. The masters in any field never think of themselves as being the best at anything. They are always looking for ways to improve upon themselves. They know that focusing on their weaknesses while reinforcing their strengths is the most efficient path towards improvement. There is no end goal for a master. To be at the front is to have achieved an end to something. By putting himself behind, the master can always be in a state of moving forward.
Same here honestly, I've never met her personally but yet I have so much trust with her and what she says. I'm glad she's on RUclips helping us evolve so much!
I think everyone, not just artists, would benefit from reading "The War of Art," as it talks heavily about resistance... It's an easy read that helps immensely with discipline and productivity, if those are important to you....
Thank you so much for recommending and sharing that book. I looked it up and stating listening to the audio book right away and loving it with laughter. Blessings Brother!
@@chadweissert6858 Awesome! I'm so glad it's helping! Maybe I'll add that my favorite book for these challenging times is the Tao te Ching... I've been looking into the translation by Ursula Le Guin today and it seems wonderful. Usually i listen to the Wayne Dyer version on youtube.... Endless wisdom in few words! Cheers
I got the wrong impression of Swan from watching about 1 minute of another video. Having watched a few minutes of this one, she's right on. I like what she's sayin'. Big ups, Swan.
I desperately wish I could share this with my clients, but, my company would have my head for it. Weight loss and health take major discipline to undo decades of bad habits as well as friends and family discouraging changing to a healthy lifestyle. Motivation is hard for so many people in that position and discipline is going to be their only hope.
Emotional dysregulation makes one's will, only focused on managing each moment. That has to be dealt with first, because the eating disorder is not the cause it is a symptom. Behavior modification is de-humanizing. Discipline is the practice of a disciple (which meant, "one who is ready to learm"). I wish you and your clients well.
🙏❤️ 1:52 Avoid abdicating your life to a compass 8:30 Look, feel, and hear into resistance deeply to become AWARE of its cause 13:00 Leaning into the discomfort 13:52 Passive vs active way of being: you came into this earth to give birth to new desires 15:10 Tips to move into a disciplined space 18:12 Three: Create rewarding challenges
Self discipline saved my life from being nothing but depression. I don’t know if it has to do with being a Capricorn moon (Sravana) and Virgo rising (Hasta) but I love the feeling of doing something that challenges me and rewarding myself for achieving it afterwards besides just being productive with myself. This is how I started being an early morning 5am riser after college for my hourly meditation, mantra recitations and exercise for my own well-being while living my vegan lifestyle for over 10 years including my fasting from food all day and night practice once a week every week to reset my body and planning my life with intense focus which always helped me manifest what I want. My initial motivation as a child besides just having that discipline and determination trait (Heavy Earth elements in my birth sign) is that I was always aiming to leave the home and escape growing up as a scapegoat/ always being heavily criticised and under appreciated even as the most disciplined person in the family. Having my own issues with perfection because of this I decided to make self improvement my own way a daily practice as part of my self love practice to add to my happiness as opposed to seeing it as something that is dreadful . This helped me value myself for who I am not what I was told especially when it comes from self not forced by anyone else.
wow your whole comment resonates with me so much! both the way you described your home environment and how you deal with it, but also your chart. i have virgo rising and taurus sun
This was the one wall I ran into when listening to every piece of advice about LOA and only doing something if it “feels good” now I’m at a point where there is no other option but going for it. My favorite video yet!
Traumatic early experiences can lead a person to believe discipline means not paying attention - ignoring not only how you feel, but also all obstacles and risks to deliver a result demanded by a person in authority (or your past self). If you have come to associate discipline with danger, it is no wonder if you resist it. Discipline in its beneficial form is the opposite of this and includes a heightened level of awareness.
I've been procrastinating on uni work so badly this year there's a chance I won't make it anymore, so I heard your message loud and clear :D All these unintegrated voices in my head are going like "life is just never-ending torture", "I HAVE to do this", "I'm always going to be a failure no matter how hard I try", and even "maybe it's ok to not want to achieve things" have gotten super loud during lockdown. It takes tremendous effort to work through years of programming we picked up in our childhood. I've made lots of progress and this video is helping me reflect, look deeper into some aspects. Thank you Teal and good luck to everyone on this journey. Even though it may look like not much gets done in your outer world on some days, don't underestimate how much energy and discipline it takes to work and heal your emotional self.
@@Lilyheart17 best of luck to you too 🙏🏻 I actually ended up extending my course, started therapy and am finally starting to see the light. It was crazy to realise how interconnected my academic performance and mental health are. Universities often have mental health support available at least here in the UK, highly recommend reaching out for it
“There are three stages of personal development. There is not getting what you want and being angry about it. There is getting what you want and being angry about it. And then there is following something that you are not sure you want and finding out that it produces happiness.” From *Wisdom from the Greater Community, Book 1*
Hehe, there also take what you have and give it the right attitude and sure to turn in your favor. I talk from experience, nor I read books. Give everything good attitude regardless of what it is. Watch real magic happen. Is like raising a baby, you treat it kind loving compassion, fun, laughs, you give it good attitude now the older it gets you stop giving them such attitude as a new born so they change, because you turn to parent who careless of a child, New on the way he get the treatment grow older treat him like the other child. This why many kids grow up the way they grow up in this old generation which is gone, is new generation already here hehe, so how you treat self goes a long way.... if you treat self how other do, you never see the good in all things that is.... you think with flesh which one are you the head or the tail? Base on reading the books and taking that opinion makes you what head or tail?
there;s also getting what you want and be happy about it or not getting what you want and not getting angry but moving towards getting it and become happy.
Wow, I feel totally called out. I didn't realise I wasn't being disciplined! Thank you Teal 🙏 I'm going to work hard at this and stop allowing my emotions to govern my actions
OMG. Synchronicity at its finest. Just earlier today I asked the universe (and set an intention with my free will) that I wanted to learn how to harness my emotions, which often engulf me like a tsunami and I feel at their mercy. Not surprising considering I have a HUGE amount of trauma that I’ve only started to heal in earnest since last year (even though I’ve been at it for nearly 15years), and I have a lifetime pattern of bulldozing my emotions (was badly abused in the name of “discipline” and therefore learnt to ignore my emotions even when they were screaming) So ..... now I have Teal post this amazing video. It’s not been entirely comfortable to listen to ... BUT i am SO PROUD of myself because I have learnt self discipline to the point where I could SIT through the discomfort to allow her message to come through. I can see the wisdom in her teaching here - she helped me start to listen to my emotional guidance system a few years ago that got me finally out of a severely abusive environment. And now she is showing me the next level - the balance point between bulldozing and being completely controlled by one’s emotions. Teal, if you’re reading this. Thank you so much. You didn’t scare me at all with your video (I’ve delved deep into Shadow work for years and have faced some very dark parts inside myself, so yay - the self discipline involved in doing that allows me to absorb your messages without wanting to run away). I believe you when you say you are very disciplined - that’s what people who know me say about me. That I’m one of the most disciplined people they’ve ever seen. We have to be right - shadow work and integration isn’t for the faint hearted! I have said this before - I have no idea if we will ever meet, and while I don’t think of myself as a “fan”, I do admire you and your strength. I know and feel you are part of a wider soul group I belong to. Very glad you found the will within you to stay alive all those years ago and be brave - I see such courage in you, and I also know you mirror my own courage back to me. Sending you grateful hugs, and these videos you’ve been coming out with since 2020 are the next level, perfect timing. Have a wonderful day Teal and team! 💜💜💜💜💜
I agree 100% with this. Self discipline is so important to any sort of successful way forward and life, in so many ways. Great conversation. Gee your attractive, have a great day. 😅 I just liked my own comment, yes I have problems 😮
I was bulldozing my dreams and goals and wasnt even seeing that. I always felt dominating myself by doing stuff even when i don’t wanted to do them. Thank you Teal
I love the notification metaphor. This is so true. Just because something is triggering you doesn't automatically mean you need to act on it. And just because something doesn't trigger you, especially if it's a good thing, doesn't mean you should abandon it. Edit: in to on
This is huge in the spiritual community. So many people use the story "I'm flowing and shifting out of masculine to feminine energy" as an excuse to not go after what really matters to them and stop pursuing things because they're uncomfortable or "don't feel like it". Thank you
This is the reason I’ve always had a problem with the pop-psych interpretation of ‘the law of attraction’, you are not always the best judge of what you materially and physically need for where you are at. We wish away the uncomfortable, and that is dysfunctional.
Balance of self discipline self t other love,. The disapline be part self loveing and ability to love others in a way allows them to grow into themselves. Omm much Metta
Teal, I have not wanted to like you. I have listened to the people putting you down... I have judged you.. unfairly. But you very likely just saved my life with this one. Thank you.
I thought it causes suffering to apply meaning. Thats why you rewrite your story. Except. I still remember how I felt about it then, what it meant to me then. It helps to look back and see it different. But if your traumatized your body rembers. You still get emotional flashbacks. Gotta work it out. Anyways...
This actually comes from Viktor Frankl who wrote Man's Search for Meaning. He was a holocaust survivor and knows of what he speaks. He speaks to the idea that pain is inevitable, while suffering is not. It depends on the meaning you assign to the situation. Most of us are inadvertently and unconsciously attaching very negative, disempowering meanings to the painful events of our lives, including that they are meaningless, which causes us a tremendous amount of suffering. Frankyl's point is that although there may be pain, suffering ceases to be suffering when one can extract a profound, worthwhile meaning from the experience. This does not eliminate the pain of the experience, but it can give one a tremendous sense of purpose, will and resiliency to get through the situation. The experience is not for nothing. It is possible to extract tremendous value from our painful experiences. I highly recommend the book.
when I ask myself "how I feel about discipline?" I realized that my child self goes into a full panic reaction of survival-mode tantrum. my mother was psychopathic (factor 1). All disciplinary my child self has experienced was sadistic, random and an attempt to break its spirit and inhibit the development of a self. my father, in compensation and probably out of pity for us (despite being conscientious in his work life/career) had refrained from exhibiting any disciplinary on us kids what's-o-ever. He once said, you (my siblings and myself) were exhibiting silent terror, as if you were living in a boot camp 24/7. Understandably, imposing discipline on myself was and still is extremely scary, despite (what I believe) being a naturally conscientious person. I associate discipline with death of my spirit, i.e. the dissolution of my existence. Thank you Teal for shining light on this.
the beautiful thing of discipline, is that the word and wisdom behind it, comes from the word DISCIPLE... a student curious to higher knowledge, a curious person that is 24/7 DRIVEN to practice the unknown to grow spiritually, physically and mentally for the greater good. a curious person that is open to receive and give all necessary, to grow for the greater good. understanding this deeper drive will motivate every second of every breath and guide us through our days, nights and lives, curious of anything crossing our path.
I watched over 20 videos of Teal Swan’s episodes. I got to say that I am so fascinated by this wonder woman. How she provides to us all this deeply needed and important information- the highest level information and all for free. Where other “spiritual teachers” charges so much money for very plain information spread into 2 hours talking. Thank you Teal 💖💖💖💖
“I got to the position i’m in, because i’m one of the most disciplined people you will ever meet” .. I saw the confidence, I felt the confidence, I’m channeling that confidence 🤍
I feel like I know this very early in life as a child without the ability to put it in words. And self-discipline was given to me like a gift, that is the way I feel about it, because there are people around me without self-discipline and I feel sorry for them. It made me happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I got it and sad because I cannot share it.
a great way to learn discipline is through a meaningful student/master relationship.. like in old china. where the student is dedicated to growth and mastery and evolution. i've been wanting to be a part of something like that.
I swear, if this spiritual world leader gig doesn't work out for you, Teal 😘, you have a very bright future as a BRILLIANT stand up comedienne. Love Love Love your teachings.
Abraham Hicks’ teaching is such an injustice to the human race! They teach people to always follow the path of least resistance. Thank you Teal for a much needed dose of reality! I appreciate you! 🍁🍂🍁
I’m so glad she made this video. I really needed it. I’ve watched hundreds of teals videos and honestly I could never find one about this particular topic. I’ve always struggled with discipline. So glad she made this
I struggled with discipline all my life. But at least I was motivated. Since 2013 I fight with anxiety and lost my motivation. All this years of therapy and fighting just made me weak and hopeless for the future. I don't know who I am, or what my life purpose is. I'm still fighting to get more self-love and self-discipline bc I'm not ready to give up even if I have no hope left. Great video. The message is right what I needed. Bless you ❤️
I needed this. Thank you Teal! I've always been someone who had a lot of discipline. But because I was forced in the past to do things I didn't want to, I kind got on bad terms with discipline. But it was because I wasn't aligned. But now that I now my purpose, discipline shall again be my friend...
I've looked after people over 100yrs old and I've listened to discipline of clashes,contradictions,compellment, risks,willpower, and the wording of transformation, adaptation, recognition, self stem inner core values, focus, in which centre of our surrounds,our limits of no limits within limits, commitment of success and failure, challenges, hurt,giving up on life not giving up on life at of a timing matter, the constantcy of our life's moments ,events,responsibilities,reactions,receptiveness....and the paths we end up from the beginning to the last breathe.yes humans to live a good strong life or lifestyle it all starts on how you and only you carry yourself your thoughts actions and yes your will power to survive.
I was just asking myself three days ago how comes teal hasn't one single video about discipline lol. Thank you universe😂 Edit: I get it, she basically already taught discipline in every other video, this just puts it together
From my experience i have found that when you have : a) A clear goal , something that you actually want b) Belief that you can achieve it and c) Knowledge about what you have to do to make it happen then nothing will stop! Not the hard word you have to put in, not the "sacrifices'' that you have to make, nothing! In this case discipline comes naturally. You wake up exactly the time you are supposed to, you complete your to do lists and receive the satisfaction of doing so and generally you just go, go, go and you are joyful about it. The problem arises when one(or more) of those 3 key elements is missing. When you don't know for example exactly what you want but you have kind of a vague idea of it, or when you know what you are after but you are not 100% sure that this is a true desire of your soul or something your environment( family, colleges, society ect.) has made you think that you want. Or when you know what you want but you don't know exactly what you are supposed to do, or you know but you don't believe in yourself and you abilities or even you are unsure if this course of action will bring about the desired results. Those i believe are the real issues that we have and not discipline in it on itself. Those i believe are the things we need to focus upon and get them straighten up.
Exactly this ! People often only say "do it consistently" but if you don't have clearly defined system/rules/knowledge of each habit how can you do them... that aspect, knowing the mechanism of habit and having clear rules in place, is so underrated and so much more important to understand than "just do it every day", since most people already know that and yet it's hard to do the habits. That and of course yea clear good reason/goal too. Your comment should be at top
Also, sometimes we don’t really know what we want because we’ve been so mixed up all our lives. Or, as you mentioned, we don’t believe we can really do it. This is a tough one for me. I always have an excuse why I can’t accomplish something.
I've been watching you for years and honestly, I think this is the best video you've ever made. Or maybe it's simply because self-discipline is something I lack so much that it really spoke to me. Whatever the case, I will be watching this again and again. Thank you, Teal 🙏
Thank you for calling out the personal development trend of demeaning discipline. I have to admit that it got me. I started watching that stuff when I was 16 and got so fascinated with the idea of life just being an effortless dream, I actually started getting VERY HURT when life would get hard and not match this ideal. This video helped me realize how much trauma was caused by these false beliefs and I am going to work on that, thank you 💙
Thank you, Teal ❤️💜💚💙 I thought I was an anti-bulldozer, but I see I've totally bulldozed this part of me. Bulldozing has just been the theme of my life
After watching a ton on Abraham Hicks videos where she talks about just feeling good, chilling out, aligning etc., this video puts things into a much better perspective. Yes, follow your internal guidance but also do not become too passive and slave to your biology and lazy part of self. To succeed in life and have it under control - you need to be DISCIPLINED. Balance seems to be the way to go.
This was very helpful! I am navigating an extreme “disciplined” life but am learning to use my free will paired with discipline rather than discipline paired with fear. This is the key. When I remember my free will while I’m doing something challenging (like a super tough uncomfortable work out) I reach this high empowered place!
I’ve avoided this video. My therapist mentioned discipline today… I decided the watch… is anything you say NOT helpful, Teal? You are my saviour, I absolutely love what you do. ❤
Sometimes I’ll get on a roll creating something and I get super excited about it to the point I just revert to binging or distraction to avoid the excitement and sense of fulfillment I’ve achieved as a result of whatever it is I’m working on. I seems that feeling good is somewhat foreign & uncomfortable to me.
I think indeed Andrew Huberman talked about this in some podcast. It is possible that we learn to accept a certain feeling as a baseline and then our neurochemistry/resources optimze for keeping up that state. So as soon as this homoeostasis or equibilirium is disturbed you do something to get it back. Its also said, that gambling addicts might chase the feeling of loosing as much as the thrill of winning at some point.
@@vetiverose128 im researching on this for myself as i struggle with it too. Best source i can recommend at this point is the Andrew Huberman Channel. His Episodes are super packed with knowledge so you need to bring time to really understand the concepts and actions he recommends. No point in me giving quick answer here. It will take time discipline and you paying more attention to whats going on inside as far as i know. Has to be worth it i guess... Hope you make it!
I agree. Everytime I'm having a good time, I feel like I'm having it too much, and therefore I suppress myself. Everything has to not be "too much", or something equally "bad" will happen. This is because usually it did before.
A year ago when I first watched this, I lacked discipline. I was unmotivated & uninspired. However as I worked on my resistance to discipline I found myself capable of cultivating it and therefore manifesting things I wanted. I now have one business and am working on a second. I am much happier and much more centered. I wake up early and go to bed early. I eat healthy, I move my body daily, and I feel good in my body. My life has done a 180 in a year, and I expect it will keep getting better since learning this tool. Thank you.
Good for you! You should be very proud of yourself. I’m extremely unmotivated and then I used to be disciplined when I was younger. I’m going to try! Thanks for sharing.
@@whitebirchtarot I'm in the same boat as you. I am setting myself small, daily achievable goals to rebuild my discipline. For example, just walking 100m a day.
Wow, what an inspirational story, sincerely happy for you 😌✨
Same here 😊
Please be proud of yourself because i am so proud of you ❤️
When asking myself “how do you feel about discipline?” I realized my child self associates the word discipline with punishment, ie “you need to discipline your child” … and that I have made a pattern of avoiding discipline in order to protect myself from pain and humiliation. Thank you Teal for shining the light on discipline and achievement. I feel inspired to reassess some of my attitudes and truly appreciate the idea of resistance as an alarm to look deeper.
It's very hard being a parent. I see why people check out of the task. 😁
OMG thank you for this comment
Pain , humiliation and unworthynes
Wow I have seen this video many months ago and I am rewatching it again. I just realized why I feel discomfort around word discipline and struggle with it and then it occurred to me that I associate discipline with punishment and disappointment. You spoke my mind.
Oh wow, thank you for pointing out what should be obvious ! It is of course detrimental to associate the word with being beaten... My mind is blown. Ty
I was groomed at an early age to plow through life and have tunnel vision in every activity I would do. I had an Asian mom who was very critical and offered very little validation so I had to work my ass off and everything I did from school to Piano Lessons to swimming to tap dancing… I had to put up with the pain and the discomfort on a really intense level. I remember going to swim practice in the winter and shivering and having this dread in the pit of my stomach of having to do things that I didn’t want to do. So you could say I developed discipline at a very young age but at a price because I learned how to turn off my own inner flag system of discernment and it took me a while to learn what it is that I truly wanted versus what other people wanted of me. I’ve also gotten myself into dangerous situations by ignoring my red flag a system of discernment. So there’s definitely a balance with disciplining yourself and knowing that what you were working towards is something that you truly want and it’s not a “have to” by someone else. Thank you for the video Teal. 🙏
Indeed, I get that... My parents were also very pushy and wanted me to do everything their way. For a long time discipline was my identity, but it was to do things I didn't want to. In order to maintain this discipline, I had to turn off my complete guidance system too. So discovering it again felt like a whole new adventure. I got so frustrated because I didn't understand my own emotions. I had gotten so good at ignoring it... Because of this for some time I had an aversion of discipline. But as you say, it should be in balance... Now that I've found the right path to take, discipline shall again be my friend... Kuddos for going after what you want! Keep on moving forward ^^. xoxo
Feona - best wishes on developing your own autonomy & mindfulness .
I have friends who raised this way. Harsh indeed but also a blessing. I was raised with the exact opposite, almost a hippie-like freedom. I think there’s a happy medium between the two.
I had to find self discipline on my own and I have areas of strength where this is now effortless. But larger goals create massive resistance and I think it’s related to the lack of that in my early life. Breaking out of our family and parental patterns is truly “the work.” I wish you well and hope you’re able to follow your urge and what sparks you!! I’ve found the Human Design readings have helped me understand my inner motivation and specifically ideas on how to stay more aligned with responding in alignment vs. bulldozing in a disconnected way. Loved this video for distinguishing between the two!!
Hello. I came from the opposite side of the spectrum. My parents gave me free range to do whatever I wanted and I dove head first into many things for the first time. I never stuck with it. Because I had the freedom to do what I please I went to college for many things and didnt a get a degree in any of them. I started many tasks and never finished. I chalked it up to flowing like the wind and if I didnt like it I was quick to walk away. Now, as a 32 year old woman I am just now learning discipline (its funny because I was in the military for 8 years where discipline is a key point and I still fought it tooth and nail). I absolutely agree with you on balance. Have discipline for those things that matter to you and that you are happy at sacrificing certain things for the betterment of self.
Same, I had classes all day every day, I studied 24/7. and now I have severe depression and am almost disabled by it as an adult, didnt help haha
Wow, this is PACKED with so much important information. My lack of discipline stems from a reaction to corrupted motivation. When I was super fit it was not for me/my own personal health...it was to attract a mate and desire that others "wish they were as fit at me". When I took thousands of pictures of my kids and scrapbooked it was not for personal creative desire or even that my kids would enjoy it.. it was a desire to be perceived by other parents/teachers in a certain light. Once I would see the inauthentic motivation I couldn't get far enough away from the activity. Stopped taking photos completely, stopped working out completely, etc.
Every relationship I entered into was me becoming what I perceived was what they would find most appealing or attractive. I had no idea who I was, I felt like I had no identity or personality of my own to bring to the table... simply that I was a reflection of what I thought the world wanted me to be. I'm 54 and the last 5 years I have slowly started to swim to the surface of that way of seeing this reality. This video, at the moment, feels like an elephant on my chest.
Wow! If you are still there/here, thank you. This comment is so insightful and relevant to/for me. It nails my current, present day present mind set, motives, and literal & figurative identity crisis, except I am 62! I hope you are well. XOXO

Thank you Teal. I feel deeply challenged through this message. I have been struggling with watching my son, who is 18, lack the motivation to do anything 'meaningful' in his life, but realise now that I, too, quit when something feels uncomfortable, I don't exercise or eat well. It starts with me, of course. Thank you. I am making changes TODAY.
Did you?

All talk no action tried and true
Just start now. As someone who I struggled with weight just start now. My goals are to go from pudgy stomach to at least a flat stomach by Halloween that's 5 weeks. Not ABS or anything, but by Halloween you just have a straight up and down, slim trunk. No curves or circles LOL Thanksgiving is like 10 weeks away I'll probably start to see some ABS by then. Reason is by Christmas and New Year's I plan to look good enough to start only friends and move out of my house going from chubby loser to successful man in one swoop.
There was a time where I stopped being fully disciplined cause I had a belief that what I was working for wasn’t possible, worst time of my life, being disciplined about what I love is the best state no matter how painful
Also I’ve got comedy skits on my channel about this that you might like too

Unfulfilled potential satisfaction need not affect current happiness and life satisfaction. The journey through life ends, sooner or later. If you don't reach a goal before you die it would be nice if you enjoyed your life anyway.

Thank me, LoL
Same here
I felt so called out about the sugar and donut part too, especially as I was eating ice cream. But to be fair, her topics always revolve around concepts and topics that have basis and are very studied in psychology but she presents them in a non-technical way that’s digestible by most people
I’m parenting a teenager. I’m now realizing I have not instilled enough discipline in my child for him to have intrinsic motivation. I am disciplined & was forced as a child to do everything. I was basically my parent’s slave. So I took the route that I would allow my child to just be a child. No chores. Nothing but the allowance for being a child. Unfortunately, at 13 my child is now facing hardships for finding motivation to accomplish much of anything. I now realize the role I have played in this. I’m going to use these techniques and start very slowly to ease him into developing discipline. I have talked a lot in the past about overcoming hardships & getting what we want through hard work and persistence, but in the end I have always handed everything to him on a silver platter. Now I need to help him to help himself develop self discipline & intrinsic motivation. Thank you, Teal, for making me realize this, because this is going to change our lives.
You can do it! You're a good parent.
Wow I have lived for two years thinking if something was uncomfortable I was vibrationally out of sinc
You're not alone
Think about someone who has lived that way there whole life! My life has accumulated to nothing thus far because of it. lol

Not to be too dramatic but I think this particular video may change my life. This is exactly what I needed right now.
OMG just yesterday I was thinking about how I appreciate discipline but most spiritual people don't
Literally truth bombs every 30 seconds or so, an insanely connected human being who thankfully has done so much work and also wanting and willing to give back to the world, thank you Teal, I am grateful.
There are so many goals I've bulldozed because of emotions and excuses. It's a dreadful feeling to see all the opportunities closed off due to this. But I suppose loss is a great motivator.
It’s never too late to do what you want to do! Just go hard at it 💗
Not a loss but a setback, later is better than never!!! It will be sweeter because you overcame personal challenges and still achieved your goal! Pat yourself on the back for even just acknowledging what you wrote above 👆✨
So alignment is when what you want is what you have to do! That's when you become a genius

There's a lot of work to do here. I self-disciplined and bulldozed myself into depression and chronic sickness. I'm on the other end of the pendulum at hedonism and rest. Looking for a balance of what is really important. Good luck to everyone. 💕

Thank you Teal 💜 Excercise has taught me this, I rarely want to work out and it is very uncomfortable but the rewards are literally life changing, I feel so well mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally when I excercise regularly, I can achieve anything when I'm exercising regularly. If I stop exercising, in about a week I become depressed, my body seems to age, I loose motivation etc.
I enjoy the rewards of exercise. Even a walk feels good for a few days after too. .. yoga is amazing. I feel good for weeks after
The word “discipline” is from the Latin word disciplina meaning “instruction and training”. It’s derived from the root word discere - “to learn.”
this is also where we get the word disciple... self discipline-aka self learning
And when your meditations, desires, disciplines, temperance, instructions and trainings become vague illusions, reflect on how you can bring them back into alignment with Source consciousness in order to better serve yourself and those around you with integrity. Any desire or discipline not in alignment with Source is an illusion and a waste of time.
I Love this!! Thank You! :)
Discipline has always felt like a nasty word to me !

I got to 0:49 and I already "liked" this video. The New Age movement gives people the impression that life should be easier than it is. I'm glad a few people like Teal are saying otherwise. It's not the most popular message, but one we need to hear.
“If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.” - Lao Tzu🙏🏿
I don’t get it.
@@Mr.Honest247 Stay hungry!
If you want see outside, look with in. Or inside? Look outside.
Meaning of this quote; If you think of yourself as the best at something, or being “out in front”, then you have no motivation to strive to be better, because you are already ahead of the pack.
The masters in any field never think of themselves as being the best at anything. They are always looking for ways to improve upon themselves. They know that focusing on their weaknesses while reinforcing their strengths is the most efficient path towards improvement.
There is no end goal for a master. To be at the front is to have achieved an end to something. By putting himself behind, the master can always be in a state of moving forward.

I got the wrong impression of Swan from watching about 1 minute of another video. Having watched a few minutes of this one, she's right on. I like what she's sayin'. Big ups, Swan.
I desperately wish I could share this with my clients, but, my company would have my head for it. Weight loss and health take major discipline to undo decades of bad habits as well as friends and family discouraging changing to a healthy lifestyle. Motivation is hard for so many people in that position and discipline is going to be their only hope.
Emotional dysregulation makes one's will, only focused on managing each moment. That has to be dealt with first, because the eating disorder is not the cause it is a symptom. Behavior modification is de-humanizing. Discipline is the practice of a disciple (which meant, "one who is ready to learm"). I wish you and your clients well.
There’s different types of motivation and only a few motivations will lead to discipline, in my opinion.

Teal your videos are timeless and apply despite political content shifting year by year.
Self discipline saved my life from being nothing but depression. I don’t know if it has to do with being a Capricorn moon (Sravana) and Virgo rising (Hasta) but I love the feeling of doing something that challenges me and rewarding myself for achieving it afterwards besides just being productive with myself.
This is how I started being an early morning 5am riser after college for my hourly meditation, mantra recitations and exercise for my own well-being while living my vegan lifestyle for over 10 years including my fasting from food all day and night practice once a week every week to reset my body and planning my life with intense focus which always helped me manifest what I want.
My initial motivation as a child besides just having that discipline and determination trait (Heavy Earth elements in my birth sign) is that I was always aiming to leave the home and escape growing up as a scapegoat/ always being heavily criticised and under appreciated even as the most disciplined person in the family. Having my own issues with perfection because of this I decided to make self improvement my own way a daily practice as part of my self love practice to add to my happiness as opposed to seeing it as something that is dreadful .
This helped me value myself for who I am not what I was told especially when it comes from self not forced by anyone else.
wow your whole comment resonates with me so much! both the way you described your home environment and how you deal with it, but also your chart. i have virgo rising and taurus sun
Same for me! I'm a capricorn sun/mercury in 6th house of virgo. Yay for finding the discipline that works for YOU!
This was the one wall I ran into when listening to every piece of advice about LOA and only doing something if it “feels good” now I’m at a point where there is no other option but going for it. My favorite video yet!
Traumatic early experiences can lead a person to believe discipline means not paying attention - ignoring not only how you feel, but also all obstacles and risks to deliver a result demanded by a person in authority (or your past self). If you have come to associate discipline with danger, it is no wonder if you resist it. Discipline in its beneficial form is the opposite of this and includes a heightened level of awareness.
Thank you for putting into words what I needed to hear
This is what happened with me. My relationship with my parents and school messed me
I've been procrastinating on uni work so badly this year there's a chance I won't make it anymore, so I heard your message loud and clear :D All these unintegrated voices in my head are going like "life is just never-ending torture", "I HAVE to do this", "I'm always going to be a failure no matter how hard I try", and even "maybe it's ok to not want to achieve things" have gotten super loud during lockdown. It takes tremendous effort to work through years of programming we picked up in our childhood. I've made lots of progress and this video is helping me reflect, look deeper into some aspects. Thank you Teal and good luck to everyone on this journey. Even though it may look like not much gets done in your outer world on some days, don't underestimate how much energy and discipline it takes to work and heal your emotional self.

Hehe, there also take what you have and give it the right attitude and sure to turn in your favor. I talk from experience, nor I read books. Give everything good attitude regardless of what it is. Watch real magic happen. Is like raising a baby, you treat it kind loving compassion, fun, laughs, you give it good attitude now the older it gets you stop giving them such attitude as a new born so they change, because you turn to parent who careless of a child, New on the way he get the treatment grow older treat him like the other child. This why many kids grow up the way they grow up in this old generation which is gone, is new generation already here hehe, so how you treat self goes a long way.... if you treat self how other do, you never see the good in all things that is.... you think with flesh which one are you the head or the tail? Base on reading the books and taking that opinion makes you what head or tail?

Wow, I feel totally called out. I didn't realise I wasn't being disciplined! Thank you Teal 🙏 I'm going to work hard at this and stop allowing my emotions to govern my actions
I take care of not overdoing myself,after having had a burn-out in my younger years that lasted for 3 years.
WHEN I SAY YOU ARE SAVING MY LIFE.
OMG. Synchronicity at its finest.
Just earlier today I asked the universe (and set an intention with my free will) that I wanted to learn how to harness my emotions, which often engulf me like a tsunami and I feel at their mercy. Not surprising considering I have a HUGE amount of trauma that I’ve only started to heal in earnest since last year (even though I’ve been at it for nearly 15years), and I have a lifetime pattern of bulldozing my emotions (was badly abused in the name of “discipline” and therefore learnt to ignore my emotions even when they were screaming)
So ..... now I have Teal post this amazing video. It’s not been entirely comfortable to listen to ... BUT i am SO PROUD of myself because I have learnt self discipline to the point where I could SIT through the discomfort to allow her message to come through. I can see the wisdom in her teaching here - she helped me start to listen to my emotional guidance system a few years ago that got me finally out of a severely abusive environment. And now she is showing me the next level - the balance point between bulldozing and being completely controlled by one’s emotions.
Teal, if you’re reading this. Thank you so much. You didn’t scare me at all with your video (I’ve delved deep into Shadow work for years and have faced some very dark parts inside myself, so yay - the self discipline involved in doing that allows me to absorb your messages without wanting to run away). I believe you when you say you are very disciplined - that’s what people who know me say about me. That I’m one of the most disciplined people they’ve ever seen. We have to be right - shadow work and integration isn’t for the faint hearted!
I have said this before - I have no idea if we will ever meet, and while I don’t think of myself as a “fan”, I do admire you and your strength. I know and feel you are part of a wider soul group I belong to. Very glad you found the will within you to stay alive all those years ago and be brave - I see such courage in you, and I also know you mirror my own courage back to me. Sending you grateful hugs, and these videos you’ve been coming out with since 2020 are the next level, perfect timing.
Have a wonderful day Teal and team! 💜💜💜💜💜
I agree 100% with this. Self discipline is so important to any sort of successful way forward and life, in so many ways.
Great conversation.
Gee your attractive, have a great day. 😅
I just liked my own comment, yes I have problems 😮
Sheesh could this timing be any more perfect

Hi 🙋♀️ Teal from ENGLAND in the U.K. 🇬🇧 Namaste 🙏
STAY NAMA STAY!!
I once heard that when motivation fails disciples we see you through. I agree with this completely, it's a practice
I love the notification metaphor. This is so true. Just because something is triggering you doesn't automatically mean you need to act on it. And just because something doesn't trigger you, especially if it's a good thing, doesn't mean you should abandon it.
Edit: in to on
Beauty is not an accident, it's a creation. Miss Swan, you are on a roll.
This is huge in the spiritual community. So many people use the story "I'm flowing and shifting out of masculine to feminine energy" as an excuse to not go after what really matters to them and stop pursuing things because they're uncomfortable or "don't feel like it". Thank you
Wish I had been open to absorbing this information years ago. But now is good too. Thank you
Oh gosh I really wanted a video on self-discipline I have such a great difficult with being self-disciplined thank you so much!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
When you pop up on my feed I always click because it helps myself and those around me, thank you teal ❤
This is the reason I’ve always had a problem with the pop-psych interpretation of ‘the law of attraction’, you are not always the best judge of what you materially and physically need for where you are at. We wish away the uncomfortable, and that is dysfunctional.
Balance of self discipline self t other love,. The disapline be part self loveing and ability to love others in a way allows them to grow into themselves. Omm much Metta
Perfect timing for the topic, per usual. ❤
Teal, I have not wanted to like you. I have listened to the people putting you down... I have judged you.. unfairly. But you very likely just saved my life with this one. Thank you.
Teal, i really manifested somehow this video. Thank you soso much for it. ♊️
Discipline and routine, good habits go hand in hand and it never hurt anyone
"Suffering ceases to be suffering once meaning is applied"
Yeah that ain’t always true at all
Timestamp plz
I thought it causes suffering to apply meaning. Thats why you rewrite your story. Except. I still remember how I felt about it then, what it meant to me then. It helps to look back and see it different. But if your traumatized your body rembers. You still get emotional flashbacks. Gotta work it out. Anyways...
Yes 🙌
This actually comes from Viktor Frankl who wrote Man's Search for Meaning. He was a holocaust survivor and knows of what he speaks. He speaks to the idea that pain is inevitable, while suffering is not. It depends on the meaning you assign to the situation. Most of us are inadvertently and unconsciously attaching very negative, disempowering meanings to the painful events of our lives, including that they are meaningless, which causes us a tremendous amount of suffering. Frankyl's point is that although there may be pain, suffering ceases to be suffering when one can extract a profound, worthwhile meaning from the experience. This does not eliminate the pain of the experience, but it can give one a tremendous sense of purpose, will and resiliency to get through the situation. The experience is not for nothing. It is possible to extract tremendous value from our painful experiences. I highly recommend the book.
Lovley video advice
Thank you
Teal Swan is the loving mother we all deserve and need as an unconscious culture.
Ah, I like this one. I was always naturally disciplined/focused but gave up because LOA said it was unnecessary. Mission reactivated!
The timing of this video is insane because of how pertinent it is to my life right now.
when I ask myself "how I feel about discipline?" I realized that my child self goes into a full panic reaction of survival-mode tantrum.
my mother was psychopathic (factor 1). All disciplinary my child self has experienced was sadistic, random and an attempt to break its spirit and inhibit the development of a self. my father, in compensation and probably out of pity for us (despite being conscientious in his work life/career) had refrained from exhibiting any disciplinary on us kids what's-o-ever. He once said, you (my siblings and myself) were exhibiting silent terror, as if you were living in a boot camp 24/7.
Understandably, imposing discipline on myself was and still is extremely scary, despite (what I believe) being a naturally conscientious person. I associate discipline with death of my spirit, i.e. the dissolution of my existence.
Thank you Teal for shining light on this.
Tough love from Teal is the exact thing that we all need
the beautiful thing of discipline, is that the word and wisdom behind it, comes from the word DISCIPLE... a student curious to higher knowledge, a curious person that is 24/7 DRIVEN to practice the unknown to grow spiritually, physically and mentally for the greater good. a curious person that is open to receive and give all necessary, to grow for the greater good. understanding this deeper drive will motivate every second of every breath and guide us through our days, nights and lives, curious of anything crossing our path.
I watched over 20 videos of Teal Swan’s episodes. I got to say that I am so fascinated by this wonder woman. How she provides to us all this deeply needed and important information- the highest level information and all for free.
Where other “spiritual teachers” charges so much money for very plain information spread into 2 hours talking.
Thank you Teal 💖💖💖💖
“I got to the position i’m in, because i’m one of the most disciplined people you will ever meet” .. I saw the confidence, I felt the confidence, I’m channeling that confidence 🤍
Your level of consciousness amazes me every time I think about it. I have no doubts about your level of self-discipline!
I feel like I know this very early in life as a child without the ability to put it in words. And self-discipline was given to me like a gift, that is the way I feel about it, because there are people around me without self-discipline and I feel sorry for them. It made me happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I got it and sad because I cannot share it.
a great way to learn discipline is through a meaningful student/master relationship.. like in old china. where the student is dedicated to growth and mastery and evolution. i've been wanting to be a part of something like that.
I swear, if this spiritual world leader gig doesn't work out for you, Teal 😘, you have a very bright future as a BRILLIANT stand up comedienne. Love Love Love your teachings.
"I win, you lose, ah ha!!!" 😂😂😂She caught me off guard with that one.
Abraham Hicks’ teaching is such an injustice to the human race! They teach people to always follow the path of least resistance. Thank you Teal for a much needed dose of reality! I appreciate you! 🍁🍂🍁
Disipline makes the rhythm of life. Thanks for the inspiration Teal.
Yes! I think the best thing we can teach our children is self discipline.
Initially we provide their discipline and then they integrate it a make it their own.
I’m so glad she made this video. I really needed it. I’ve watched hundreds of teals videos and honestly I could never find one about this particular topic. I’ve always struggled with discipline. So glad she made this
I struggled with discipline all my life. But at least I was motivated. Since 2013 I fight with anxiety and lost my motivation. All this years of therapy and fighting just made me weak and hopeless for the future. I don't know who I am, or what my life purpose is.
I'm still fighting to get more self-love and self-discipline bc I'm not ready to give up even if I have no hope left.
Great video. The message is right what I needed. Bless you ❤️
I needed this. Thank you Teal! I've always been someone who had a lot of discipline. But because I was forced in the past to do things I didn't want to, I kind got on bad terms with discipline. But it was because I wasn't aligned. But now that I now my purpose, discipline shall again be my friend...
I've looked after people over 100yrs old and I've listened to discipline of clashes,contradictions,compellment, risks,willpower, and the wording of transformation, adaptation, recognition, self stem inner core values, focus, in which centre of our surrounds,our limits of no limits within limits, commitment of success and failure, challenges, hurt,giving up on life not giving up on life at of a timing matter, the constantcy of our life's moments ,events,responsibilities,reactions,receptiveness....and the paths we end up from the beginning to the last breathe.yes humans to live a good strong life or lifestyle it all starts on how you and only you carry yourself your thoughts actions and yes your will power to survive.
I was just asking myself three days ago how comes teal hasn't one single video about discipline lol. Thank you universe😂
Edit: I get it, she basically already taught discipline in every other video, this just puts it together
12:25 ".. is that there are a great many things that are worth doing that involve discomfort and even pain"
Thank you for this teaching.
2600 years ago, the Buddha already vividly described how discipline and string are necessary for attaining happiness =)
Teal you are a god damn genius, thank you.
From my experience i have found that when you have :
a) A clear goal , something that you actually want
b) Belief that you can achieve it
and c) Knowledge about what you have to do to make it happen
then nothing will stop! Not the hard word you have to put in, not the "sacrifices'' that you have to make, nothing! In this case discipline comes naturally. You wake up exactly the time you are supposed to, you complete your to do lists and receive the satisfaction of doing so and generally you just go, go, go and you are joyful about it.
The problem arises when one(or more) of those 3 key elements is missing.
When you don't know for example exactly what you want but you have kind of a vague idea of it, or when you know what you are after but you are not 100% sure that this is a true desire of your soul or something your environment( family, colleges, society ect.) has made you think that you want.
Or when you know what you want but you don't know exactly what you are supposed to do, or you know but you don't believe in yourself and you abilities or even you are unsure if this course of action will bring about the desired results.
Those i believe are the real issues that we have and not discipline in it on itself.
Those i believe are the things we need to focus upon and get them straighten up.
I love this comment. Thank you for sharing and helping us introspect
!
@@tanyameshram445 Thank you my dear Tanya for your kind words. Happy introspecting☺️😉!
Exactly this ! People often only say "do it consistently" but if you don't have clearly defined system/rules/knowledge of each habit how can you do them... that aspect, knowing the mechanism of habit and having clear rules in place, is so underrated and so much more important to understand than "just do it every day", since most people already know that and yet it's hard to do the habits. That and of course yea clear good reason/goal too. Your comment should be at top
Also, sometimes we don’t really know what we want because we’ve been so mixed up all our lives. Or, as you mentioned, we don’t believe we can really do it. This is a tough one for me. I always have an excuse why I can’t accomplish something.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN WITH ALL MY LIFE!! MAY THE UNIVERSE BLESS AND PROTECT HER AND HER FAMILY 💜🤍💙🙏
I've been watching you for years and honestly, I think this is the best video you've ever made. Or maybe it's simply because self-discipline is something I lack so much that it really spoke to me. Whatever the case, I will be watching this again and again. Thank you, Teal 🙏
I am so happy I found her !!! It has been a very bumpy road these last year I’ve lost myself and I cannot wait to find who I want to become
Thank you for calling out the personal development trend of demeaning discipline. I have to admit that it got me. I started watching that stuff when I was 16 and got so fascinated with the idea of life just being an effortless dream, I actually started getting VERY HURT when life would get hard and not match this ideal. This video helped me realize how much trauma was caused by these false beliefs and I am going to work on that, thank you 💙
Once again another great points she makes. Thank you
Thank you, Teal ❤️💜💚💙
I thought I was an anti-bulldozer, but I see I've totally bulldozed this part of me.
Bulldozing has just been the theme of my life
After watching a ton on Abraham Hicks videos where she talks about just feeling good, chilling out, aligning etc., this video puts things into a much better perspective. Yes, follow your internal guidance but also do not become too passive and slave to your biology and lazy part of self. To succeed in life and have it under control - you need to be DISCIPLINED. Balance seems to be the way to go.
This was very helpful! I am navigating an extreme “disciplined” life but am learning to use my free will paired with discipline rather than discipline paired with fear. This is the key. When I remember my free will while I’m doing something challenging (like a super tough uncomfortable work out) I reach this high empowered place!
I’ve avoided this video. My therapist mentioned discipline today… I decided the watch… is anything you say NOT helpful, Teal? You are my saviour, I absolutely love what you do. ❤
Sometimes I’ll get on a roll creating something and I get super excited about it to the point I just revert to binging or distraction to avoid the excitement and sense of fulfillment I’ve achieved as a result of whatever it is I’m working on. I seems that feeling good is somewhat foreign & uncomfortable to me.
I think indeed Andrew Huberman talked about this in some podcast. It is possible that we learn to accept a certain feeling as a baseline and then our neurochemistry/resources optimze for keeping up that state. So as soon as this homoeostasis or equibilirium is disturbed you do something to get it back.
Its also said, that gambling addicts might chase the feeling of loosing as much as the thrill of winning at some point.
I know that feel. Being sad can be a comfort zone.
@@teiuq Absolutely. So how do we get out of this loop?
@@vetiverose128 im researching on this for myself as i struggle with it too. Best source i can recommend at this point is the Andrew Huberman Channel. His Episodes are super packed with knowledge so you need to bring time to really understand the concepts and actions he recommends. No point in me giving quick answer here. It will take time discipline and you paying more attention to whats going on inside as far as i know. Has to be worth it i guess...
Hope you make it!
I agree. Everytime I'm having a good time, I feel like I'm having it too much, and therefore I suppress myself. Everything has to not be "too much", or something equally "bad" will happen. This is because usually it did before.
This channel is one of those hidden gems. This woman gets it thoroughly. Amazing.
Day 1 sober today. Perfect timing.
She is the parent that I needed and never had to teach me how to succeed in life . Thank you 💝
Discipline carries you through dark times.
I'm always coming back to this video as i have a struggle with being disciplined since a kid.
