Do you find it difficult to say no? Is life a maze of running around without making any progress?

You set a goal for yourself, for example, get rid of belly fat. Three months later, you haven’t achieved your goal or made any progress.

If you want to achieve your goals and make significant progress, you need to achieve self-discipline.

Why You Can’t Achieve Self-Discipline

Self-discipline is difficult to achieve. But I’ve realized in order to achieve my goals, I need to discipline myself first.

I used to be addicted to sodas and ice cream. I couldn’t pass by without yielding to the temptation. Even if I felt horrible afterward, I didn’t care as long as I had my soda and ice cream. I didn’t know this was affecting me negatively.

A few months ago, I started having bad headaches. I drank water and green tea in an effort to cleanse my body. I felt a bit of relief but it didn’t take the headaches away.

I began to take an inventory of everything I was putting into my body. I also paid attention to how my body reacted to food.
