Willink is an author, speaker, and podcaster that shares his lessons and philosophy of discipline acquired from 20 years of service as a US Navy SEAL. Through his military and leadership experience, he\u2019s learned that success depends on disciplined, daily decisions like waking up early and putting off your break until tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll look at a few <em>Discipline Equals Freedom<\/em> quotes with explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cDon\u2019t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won\u2019t be. Don\u2019t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Willink gives four reasons you need self-discipline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Self-discipline makes you the master of yourself.<\/strong> By cultivating and practicing discipline, Willink explains that you gain control over your thoughts and actions. This allows you to overcome bad habits, false excuses, distractions, and emotions to effectively accomplish daily tasks that lead to your long-term goals. Therefore, <strong>by removing self-imposed obstacles, discipline frees you to live the life you want most.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/crucial-conversations\"><em>Crucial Conversations<\/em><\/a>, the authors explain that you can learn to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-your-emotions\/\">control your emotions<\/a> by understanding how emotions form and manipulating <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/crucial-conversations\/chapter-6#you-can-change-your-emotions\">a key step in this process: your interpretation of emotional triggers<\/a>. Whenever you perceive a trigger, you naturally tell yourself a story about what you perceived, which influences your emotional response and ultimately, your actions. By controlling the story you tell yourself, you control the way you feel. Knowing this can help you effectively steer your emotions in ways that lead to disciplined action.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Self-discipline makes you healthier. <\/strong>When you take control over your actions, you have the power to resist unhealthy temptations. Instead, you\u2019ll be able to develop and maintain habits that keep you healthy\u2014like a clean, nourishing diet and a regular exercise routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Health professionals recognize the crucial role of discipline in good health. &nbsp; Describing the basics of weight loss, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/basics\/weightloss-basics\/hlv-20049483\">Mayo Clinic highlights <em>commitment<\/em> to changes in diet and exercise habits as the key to successful weight loss<\/a>. In this context, \u201ccommitment\u201d seems nearly synonymous with Willink\u2019s definition of \u201cdiscipline.\u201d That is, an internal force that drives you to take action and improve. However, Mayo Clinic\u2019s idea of commitment seems to differ from Willink\u2019s idea of self-discipline in that it\u2019s not limited to an isolated, internal struggle for self-control. The Mayo Clinic suggests recruiting your doctor and loved ones for support in your health journey.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Self-discipline helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">reach your goals<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/realize-your-full-potential\/\">realize your full potential<\/a>. <\/strong>Most of us have dreams and aspirations about things we want to accomplish or the type of person we want to be. Willink contends that even if you don\u2019t have a clear vision for yourself, you\u2019re likely capable of many great things. You might even have talents or resources to make certain goals more attainable. However, it\u2019s discipline that helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-take-control-of-your-life\/\">take control of your life<\/a> and drive the actions necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/develop-good-habits\/\">develop good habits<\/a>, reach your goals, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-become-the-best-version-of-yourself\/\">become the best version of yourself<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-5-am-club\/1-page-summary\"><em>The 5 AM Club<\/em><\/a> discusses practical ways to discover your potential through discipline. This starts with waking up at\u2014you guessed it\u20145 a.m. and <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-5-am-club\/1-page-summary#what-to-do-during-the-victory-hour\">using the first hour of your day to perform a self-improvement routine consisting of exercise, reflection, and professional growth.<\/a><strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Self-discipline makes you happier. <\/strong>Willink believes that you achieve happiness by earning it. When you commit to bettering yourself through discipline in pursuit of your goals, you\u2019ll find happiness along the way. Though Willink doesn\u2019t explain exactly why or how you find happiness in the process of practicing discipline, we can infer that discipline makes you happier because the process of steadily bettering yourself will lead you to feel more healthy, confident, and satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cDon\u2019t fight stress. Embrace it. Turn it on itself. Use it to make yourself sharper and more alert. Use it to make you think and learn and get better and smarter and more effective. Use the stress to make you a better you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accept <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-what-you-can-control\/\">what you can\u2019t control<\/a> and embrace it as an opportunity. <\/strong>When you\u2019re faced with a challenge or setback that\u2019s out of your control, Willink suggests viewing it as an opportunity to develop a new plan and improve in some way. For example, if an injury or illness prevents you from performing your regular workout routine, use your rest time as an opportunity to catch up on your reading list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides difficult situations in the present, Willink notes that we often struggle to accept moments from our past. <strong>Accepting the past will free your mind of unproductive, stressful thoughts and help you focus on the present<\/strong>. You can\u2019t change what\u2019s already happened, so learn from your regrets and move on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/getting-overwhelmed\/\">feeling overwhelmed<\/a> by emotion or the difficulty of a problem, it\u2019s a sign you need to <em>detach<\/em>. Willink suggests this strategy to physically and mentally remove yourself from a stressful situation, calm down, and think more clearly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take a step back.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Put your hands at your sides.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Raise your chin to a vulnerable\/open position.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Look around.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Take deep breaths.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Listen instead of talk.&nbsp;<\/li><li>When you do talk, try to ask a question in a calm state, rather than making an assertion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThere is no easy way. There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Although discipline is a principle that should affect all spheres of life, Willink highlights a few key areas of daily life in which to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/apply-discipline\/\">apply discipline<\/a> for more excellent health and self-improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Exercise has tremendous benefits for physical and mental health. Because of this, it\u2019s important to include some kind of exercise in your life.<\/li><li>As with exercise, Willink has a few key tips for applying discipline to your diet. <strong>One is to eat mostly fat, then protein; minimize carbohydrates and sugar.<\/strong> Willink bases his diet on the premise that human bodies aren\u2019t adapted to eating many of the farmed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/why-is-food-processed\/\">processed foods<\/a> on the modern menu.<\/li><li>To practice discipline and have energy to perform well during the day, it\u2019s important to apply discipline to your sleep habits at night. Adults need anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep on average. Lack of sleep can lead to increased blood pressure, negative hormonal changes, immune system suppression, and cognitive effects like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/why-is-it-so-hard-to-focus-2\/\">trouble focusing<\/a> and thinking.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are some Discipline Equals Freedom quotes?
