"She's sweet and she's nice, she's that kind kind of kind that just sits right.. she's a light, so bright, everything that just seems so right. She's beautiful and dutiful, a handful if you can't grab it.. she's the best kind of habit for an ex addict. She's magic, but not the kind with rabbits.. she's lovely, she's funny, she's intelligent, and she loves me. How lovely, every night I get to spend with her.. she is everything right."

She's that perfect kind of perfection - eUë

Smart morning habits for mental wellness

Good morning mental wellness!

Are you feeling overwhelmed with stress and unbalanced in your mental health? Starting your day off on the right foot is essential for maintaining an overall sense of wellbeing. By developing some simple habits each morning, you can make huge strides towards creating a life where mental health is prioritized on a daily basis. In this post, I’ll discuss why it’s important to have smart habits…

A List of Ways to Stop Doing That Destructive Thing You Do

Figure out your crutch. Get honest with yourself: What’s the thing you know you don’t want to be involved with as much as you are? What’s the very first thing that comes to mind? Is it making out with random folks in bars? Is it eating ice cream straight from the pint on a day you wanted to be “healthy”? Is it drinking so much that you have to stock emergency Trader Joe’s pizzas in the freezer to soak up the massive amounts of booze you know you will consume this weekend? I have done all of these things to “feel better,” so no shade, no judgment. Write it down.

Okay, can’t be honest? Recognize the thing your friends tease you about the most. Write it down, circle it, and just think about it for a minute. I’m not saying your friends are right, but if more than one of them has joked that you are so addicted to work that “your schedule is allergic to friendship,” you might want to consider that most jokes hold some truth. If your friends tease that you “have an alcohol problem” and tell you they are “proud you didn’t fall down drunk last night,” I would suggest that’s probably not much of a JKJKJK situation.

Write down your crutch and why it doesn’t work for you on a Post-it Note and stick it to your bathroom mirror. Examples: “Weed makes me feel bad.” “Staying at work too long exhausts me.” “Too much chardonnay makes me cry.” Read and reread this note until it sinks in. This could take weeks. Months. But it’s hard to ignore something you have to read every time you look in the mirror, and, eventually, you’ll feel this truth.

Baby-step away from the crutch by making a deal with yourself that you can keep. There should be a real reward involved. If I don’t smoke weed this week, I get to take a bubble bath on Sunday. If I leave the office by six P.M. at least three times this week, then I get to buy myself a delicious-smelling candle. If I take a break from drinking at home this week, then I get to go for a thirty-dollar Thai massage.

Consider how the deal worked out. Did you keep it? If you did, how do you feel? And if you didn’t, then it’s time to make a new deal. One that you’re more likely to keep. But DO NOT beat yourself up. Giving up any habit is difficult and takes time! The good news is you are replacing your bad habit with a good one—a habit of self-care. You’ll like it more! I swear.

Be patient. Srsly. If you’ve successfully identified your distracting crutch, then you have already done something radically brave: You have been honest about a weakness that does not serve you. That’s SO FUCKING HARD. I would like to high-five you, then hug you, then give you a kiss on the forehead.

Is that too much? I’m just proud of you, that’s all.

All habits proceed through four stages in the same order: cue, craving, response, and reward.

How to Build Self Discipline

Cultivating self-discipline is the way towards personal growth and achieving long-term goals. To me, it’s really all about making choices that honor your well-being and identity.

Understand that self-discipline is about self love and respect

It’s not about punishment or deprivation, but rather caring for yourself enough to make choices that align with your long-term well-being and goals.

You’re showing yourself the respect you deserve by honoring and committing to changes you want to make.

It’s all about recognizing your worth and having the motivation and courage to pursue what’s really best for you, even when it requires a lot of effort and decision-making.

Frame your identity in a way that includes discipline

How we act directly ties to our identities and how we believe we are. If you believe you’re a successful individual, you’ll live a life framed by confidence and determination. If you believe you’re someone who is lazy and unmotivated, you’ll struggle to find the drive to pursue your goals and aspirations.

Gaining discipline is all about acting as the person you believe you are and moving through life in a way that’s consistent with your determined identity. The key here is to try to imagine who you are at your highest self in a disciplined state of mind.

To start this, ask yourself these questions and slowly arrange your life in a way so there’s no distance between who you are now and your highest self:

What does your day look like

What do you eat

What do you wear

What does your week look like

What does your work day look like

What hobbies do you have

What’s your morning and night routine

Who are you surrounded by

What do you say yes and no to

Have systems in your life

I recently wrote a post about habits and mentioned the idea of systems versus goals. Here, I want to delve a bit deeper into that concept within the context of self-discipline.

To me, another way to truly live a disciplined life is to establish starting systems, something that will propel you past hurdles and reduce the friction that accompanies change.

Let’s say you want to improve your eating habits and cultivate discipline in consuming less sugar while incorporating more whole foods into your diet. You could begin by implementing a system of prepping healthy snacks or meals in advance at the start of each week, or however you see fit. By having these snacks readily available, you eliminate the need for decision-making, making it easier to adhere to your goal.

Anything that serves as a reminder or facilitates consistent action toward your desired outcome is a valuable system in your life.

Be okay with not doing something and embrace the mindset of small wins

This may seem paradoxical in the context of developing self-discipline, but being okay with not doing something is crucial. There are times in life when we need tough love and motivation, but there are also moments when compassion is the driving force that propels us forward.

When you don’t follow through with something, whether it’s going for a run or preparing a healthy dinner, it’s important to be okay with it. You don’t need to shame yourself or feel guilty for not taking action because that will only reinforce negative thought patterns, making it harder to create the change you desire.

Consider this: if you miss a planned run and spiral into self-criticism, you’re more likely to avoid running altogether. However, if you approach the situation with understanding and compassion, you’ll be more inclined to try again next time.

This is where small daily victories come into play. Sometimes, all we need is one small step forward to develop a new habit and maintain consistency. Whatever you're striving to improve or change, if it feels daunting, tell yourself, "Just for today, I'll do a 15-minute workout instead of the full hour," or "Just for today, I'll read 5 pages instead of the entire chapter," and celebrate these as small victories. Doing so not only helps you establish new habits but also allows you to acknowledge the progress you've made and the trust you've built within yourself.

We’ve all been there. We have those bad habits that we want to break, but no matter how hard we try, it’s difficult to let go of them.
