Discipline is hard. If it was easy, I wouldn't be writing these Monday Motivation posts.
Think of a time when you had to do something and didn't want to, but when all was said and done, you looked back and thought "it wasn't that bad" or "I'm glad I did it".
This is where self-growth happens and you recognize your own discipline in action. You climbed over those mental hurdles to get you to the finish. And now, you can look back accomplished and mentally stronger than before.
Remember that feeling next time you're faced with
a task and really just don't want to do it.

I think that discipline is why running isn't always the fan favorite and why we runners get called 'crazy'. Running takes a heck of a lot of discipline.
I'm not gonna lie, running can get really boring sometimes - especially on the third lap around North Park. No one likes doing boring stuff. And then sometimes the thought of running for hours sounds grueling. Am I really going to run to downtown, over to the North Shore, and back?! What the heck for?!
On those days where I'd rather do anything but run, I have to remind myself of that feeling after a run when no matter what pace I ran or if I felt like I was dying the whole time, I still accomplished what I set out to do.
Where do you find discipline is hardest for you?
