A different approach to achieve different [and better] results
Most authors that have written about self-discipline will tell you that you should take action despite the negative emotions associated with a particular goal; that you should force yourself to go to the gym even when you don't really enjoy it.
Even while this approach might yield results for a limited period of time, the results do not last and we end up back at square one; or even worse, completely demotivated about our goals or our ability to make our dreams come true.
The path to self-discipline as a habit is not by forcing ourselves to do what displeases us, but by understanding the reasons behind our emotions and modifying our beliefs in order to feel differently about the actions that need to be taken to achieve our goals.
The Five Principles of Discipline
The first step to master self-discipline is understanding what discipline really is, and we can do so by learning the five principles of discipline.
Acknowledgment: To accept what we can and can’t do is the first step. By acknowledging our shortcomings, we can come up with the best possible plan in order to counter our weak spots.
Harnessing Willpower: Understanding the true nature of willpower and its limits is of utmost importance if we want to harness it. By doing so, we can use willpower efficiently, and make it work with us and not against us.
Thrive for Challenges: Nothing worthwhile comes without some kind of challenge. Changing the way we see challenging moments or situations is not only positive to improve our self-discipline, but it also has amazing effects in every other area of our life.
Automatize: Getting rid of the small tasks that suck our energy and time every day, and automatizing those tasks that we cannot avoid is vital when we are pursuing our dreams and goals.
and
Perseverance: Nobody gets to become an expert, or even a decent performer, on their first try. Failure is a natural part of life and should never stop you from trying.
By explaining the five principles, The Discipline Manifesto will not only walk you through the process of developing discipline as a skill, but will also point out the basics steps you must take to overcome inaction or unhealthy behaviours and habits.
Allow Yourself to be Guided
The Discipline Manifesto will become a guide for introspection and challenging the negative beliefs you might unconsciously hold, allowing you to become the master of your will!

INTRODUCTION
Self-discipline and procrastination are two of the most discussed subjects in the personal development world. Yet, most authors and publications focus completely on discussing the subject from a practical
point of view, encouraging us to force ourselves to be more productive and beat procrastination.
This method usually fails in the long run, and then we go back to search for another way to fight against idleness or making sure to cross the finish line of our goals.
But discipline is not just a matter of method or fooling ourselves into a diet. In order to achieve our goals, we must first understand the reasons behind our reluctance to act in a certain manner. When our behavior does not match our goals or intentions, the reason often lies within our minds as flawed beliefs or mental blocks.
The goal of this book is to serve as a walkthrough across the fundamental principles of discipline:
Acknowledgment: To accept what we can and can’t do is the first step. By acknowledging our shortcomings, we can come up with the best possible plan in order to counter our weak spots.
Harnessing Willpower: Understanding the true nature of willpower and its limits is of utmost importance if we want to harness it. By doing so, we can use willpower efficiently, and make it work with us and not against us.
Thrive for Challenges: Nothing worthwhile comes without some kind of challenge. Changing the way we see challenging moments or situations is not only positive to improve our self-discipline, but it also has amazing effects in every other area of our life.
Automatize: Getting rid of the small tasks that suck our energy and time every day, and automatizing those tasks that we cannot avoid is vital when we are pursuing our dreams and goals.
Perseverance: Nobody gets to become an expert, or even a decent performer, on his or her first try. Failure is a natural part of life and should never stop you from trying.
By explaining the five principles, The Discipline Manifesto will not only point out the basics steps we must take to overcome inaction or unhealthy behaviors and habits, but will also become a guide for introspection and challenging the negative beliefs you might unconsciously hold.
Throughout the book, we will discuss in dept the five principles of self-discipline, its application and the possible obstacles we might encounter along
