This week, we began a conversation to address this question in our free post.
How can we become disciplined effortlessly?
Didn’t read? Here it is.
The context was that, whenever we set out to either achieve a certain goal or resist a given temptation, we often relied on willpower.
However, willpower required energy and we often became drained, leading us to abandon our goals.
It was interesting looking at Valeriy Grumel, we saw how he relied on willpower to complete a straddle high jump.
Over time, his record remained unbroken at 2.28m.
Willpower and working harder just wasn’t it.
Then came in Dick Fosbury and his flop method which made him break the high jump record with less grit and better strategy.
The effortless way, as we come to understand, is a game of strategy.
High achievers know something about willpower and tend to rely less on it by applying specific strategies.
We discuss these strategies in this week’s posts.
By becoming disciplined effortlessly, what we are actually doing is learning more effective strategies that help us avoid relying on willpower to do what we need to do.
