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.

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.

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 💪😈🔥🏋️‍♀️💥

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.

"A person who lacks discipline is a person who misinterpret the meaning of resistance" Thank you for this explanation! 👏 👏

That evidence is backed by the words of the top Freemason, a former elite banker, many doctors, the former leader of the FBI in Los Angeles, the former leader of the top music conglomerate, much video evidence, and much much more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 take care of not overdoing myself,after having had a burn-out in my younger years that lasted for 3 years.

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.

Absolutely. The most important rule in yoga too is niyam (establishing a routine). I am constantly amazed how so many "spiritually" minded people come across as loosy goosies instead of even more alert and calm.

I absolutely agree with this. Inaction and lack of discipline is also an action. You are essentially choosing not do anything and not create structure. It doesn't matter if you have a fancy way of explaining why you're not doing anything about your life.

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.

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

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! 💜💜💜💜💜

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.

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.

STAY NAMA STAY!!

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 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 🤍

Last night.. I was thinking about whether Body Mind Emotions are governed by Subconscious pattern and there's a need to regulate and drive them by a conscious soul with Self awareness. Today morning, I get this Video as affirmation. ❤🙏

2600 years ago, the Buddha already vividly described how discipline and string are necessary for attaining happiness =)

How to approach discipline when it turned you into a rock hard, perfectionistic personality? As a woman I used masculine energy to become a high-achiever. Someone that does it all. It drove me to a severe burn-out.

Well, it sounds like that "bulldozing" thing... Anyway, most of my co-worker women complain about this, I started avoiding them. But the trick question is: did you really high-achieve what you want or need? Or what society and media taught you should want? Just silly questions... Don't mind me.

yes i am struggling with that too!! I used to be overly disciplined to compensate for my low self worth and make me feel better about myself. I used to be very extreme about it.. CONSTANTLY working for my goals, not sleeping enough, excessively exercising.. once I realized that I was only doing it out of a lack I stopped. now I have zero motivation, I only go with how I am feeling which makes me unhappy too but it seems sooo hard to find a healthy balance

Hello Sush, let me offer you my 2 cents. Discipline is not meant to create perfection in your life. It is simply meant to bring order. You discipline yourself not for the sake of doing things perfectly, but for the sake of just doing things for the joy of it. Another thing that most people don't understand is that discipline is not meant to make a person tough or hardcore. Discipline has to come with ease. Discipline is the way of life. Even the universe works on a schedule. The sun rises at 6 AM and sets by 5 or 6 in the evening. Every process in the universe happens as per schedule because the universe has no resistance. If discipline has turned you into a hardcore personality, that simply means 2 things: 1) You are too focused on the outcome of discipline. This means that you are being disciplined with a specific end goal. Discipline is an end unto itself. Discipline means to keep an eye on your goal but to still remain focused on the present. 2) You don't understand your weaknesses. Before making a disciplined schedule for yourself it is important to be realistic about how much pressure you can take. Everybody has their own limit. Do not overload yourself with more work than you can do. Be realistic. If you want to lose 10 pounds in 10 days that may be difficult, however if you give yourself an extra 20 days to achieve that same goal, you may end up achieving it eventually without getting burnt out in the process. You have to be realistic about the amount of time you need to accomplish a certain task. The same task that can be completed by a person in 1 month can take 3-4 months in your case. You have to come to terms with this and not compare yourself with others. Make your own rules and set your own timelines. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

I once heard that when motivation fails disciples we see you through. I agree with this completely, it's a practice

Sometimes resistance is perfectly seen as bad resistance and not "a feeling guiding one to something better". Still it's to strong. When I was at my worst and couldn't get out of bed. Literally turning back and getting back to sleep. for days. I was perfectly aware that my resistance is bad. Exactly that list of things what to do of which one seemed more exhausting than the one before. I already seemed overwhelmed after waking up. What helped me is to stop thinking about that never ending list and start to think about "baby steps". Monday: get out of bed and brush your teeth. Tuesday: get out of bed, brush you teeth and get dressed. Wednesday: after dressing make your bed Thursday: adding a breakfast tea...... Adding one tiny task each following day. Sounds terrible. But it helped me finding back into life.

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 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.

The timing of this video is insane because of how pertinent it is to my life right now.

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.

Seriously self_discipline is so underrated nowadays and motivation is overrated, that is why motivation serves that trendy meme of (following your passion). It makes most of the millennial generation struggles in a daily basis when they had been convinced by success gurus to follow their passion instead of being disciplined to do what they know that they should do it wether they like it or not.! then most of them remained undisciplined and lazy just in hope to find something they love so much all day and everyday to make a living..

Initially we provide their discipline and then they integrate it a make it their own.

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

Your level of consciousness amazes me every time I think about it. I have no doubts about your level of self-discipline!

When you pop up on my feed I always click because it helps myself and those around me, thank you teal ❤

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.

"Wax on, wax off..." the Karate Kid had to learn this the hard way. 🥋

Teal, i really manifested somehow this video. Thank you soso much for it. ♊️

I'm always coming back to this video as i have a struggle with being disciplined since a kid.

I’ve had to watch this three times because of the resistance I feel towards it... probably stemming from my fear that discipline equates to bulldozing myself, exactly as you point out (an extreme I used to exist in years ago). I can feel that this video is about to trigger a change of course for me, and in that sense I’m resistant to it, but I’m going to decide to use my free will, and discipline, to override these feelings of fear and resistance, for the long term benefits of more fulfillment and success. Thanks as always, Teal

Teal Swan is the loving mother we all deserve and need as an unconscious culture.

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

Bang on! If you don’t use a target, what will you aim for? When you advance to any contact on a two way shooting range… you move tactically, with discipline, and it’s your training that keeps you alive. Command and control. Systems, interconnecting support elements and you can still lose. It doesn’t matter how good it feels it’s the achievement when you reach the enemy position. Then you reorganise, fight through and that’s when you’re on your chin, knackered and you know if you don’t you die. Life is the same. Get on with it. I had a car Crash that broke my shoulders and clavicle that caused embolic strokes. I was destroyed for 3 years. Yet I used that psychology to wake up. Learn to crawl, learn to stand up, learn to speak, think and recreate my mind and body. It is a choice, I choose life and love.

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

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

Disipline makes the rhythm of life. Thanks for the inspiration Teal.

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.

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

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 🙏

Teal Swan always talk about things that relevant to my life at a right timing. I am really controlled by my emotions. I appreciate this video.

Teal your videos are timeless and apply despite political content shifting year by year.

If everybody listened to at least one of Teal`s videos per day, it would start moving society in the right direction, instead of it being rapidly on the decline at a terrifying pace.

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 💙

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!

Hi 👋🏻 I am Autistic and have ADHD. I did not know this until recently, at 50 years old, and I always felt my life was so torn, within myself, between discipline and total chaos, until I saw myself in my neurodivergence. My Autistic neurology craves organization, sameness and discipline, but has limitations in emotional regulation and sensory overstimulation. The ADHD brain is more free flow and unpredictable, forever starting projects but not finishing, coupled with a deep resistance to doing anything, AT ALL, and having various levels of trouble related to executive functioning- as in 'adulting'. Both add up to being very CREATIVE, thank goodness. I use my creativity to work around/work in harmony with my own traits, and build systems with plan b, c, d worked in. The "why" is always in the forefront of my choice selections ♡ at 50, finally understanding myself and my brain, my mental and emotional health has never been better ♡ thank you 😊

She is the parent that I needed and never had to teach me how to succeed in life . Thank you 💝

It's so interesting watching these videos from Teal, because literally she's one of the top spiritual influencers right now. So it's interesting seeing the mirror in her own words, toward her own previous words. I'll still watch, it's my choice. Just very interesting introduction to a video that negates previous findings. Such is life, though.

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. ❤
