Discipline is Hard. We all know that.
This is probably why.
Want to wake up early.
Want to eat better.
Want to exercise.
Want to <fill in the gaps>
We all want to build or break some habits. It is hard.
We feel bad every time we fail. We read books, hang motivational quotes, create vision boards, we hire a coach, put bets, we put it out to make ourselves accountable — we do a myriad of things to get to the state where it is a habit.
It is still hard.
The advice we get is: keep doing it. Repeat it. Even if you can take only baby steps, take them. Do not miss out on two days in a row.
The advice is gold.
Even when we miss out for months, but keep getting back it works. It takes longer — yes. But it keeps building on our habits.
Why?
Sigmund Freud
The unconscious processing ability of the brain is approximately 11 million bits of information/per second. Conscious processing is incredibly slow, at a maximum of 40 bits of information/per second.
