EP119-What happens when you create evidence of your own capability?
Lets us know your thoughts thru TEXT!
Have you ever made a promise to yourself only to break it days later? That cycle of inconsistency is something I battled for years until I discovered what I now call "the switch" - The moment I know its time to build momentum in a progressive direction again.
Fresh off a 30-week bodybuilding preparation that demanded unwavering commitment, I deliberately gave myself permission to ease up for a month. Morning donuts, evening desserts, and spontaneous takeout replaced my tracked meals. This wasn't a failure of willpower but a conscious decision to temporarily turn my discipline switch "off." I knew internally that this was temporary. I knew eventually the switch was going to have to be turned back on. I didn't know when but I knew it wasn't going to be too long. Not after all I've proven to myself.
This ability didn't come naturally. It was forged through years of trial and error, through cycles of progress and regression that ultimately built evidence that I could follow through on difficult commitments. Most people struggle with consistency because they've repeatedly broken promises to themselves, leaving no foundation of self-trust to build upon. Every "starting Monday" becomes another empty phrase because there's no internal proof it will actually happen.
What sets this approach apart is understanding that discipline isn't an innate trait but a skill developed through consistent practice. The switch starts as a simple on/off mechanism but gradually becomes more nuanced, allowing you to control the intensity and duration of your disciplined periods. The beauty of this realization is knowing that if I - someone who once couldn't commit to anything for more than a week - can develop this ability, anyone can.
To build your own discipline switch... Start small, focus on keeping promises to yourself, and document each success as evidence of your capability. Remember that each time you follow through, you strengthen your switch, expanding what's possible for your future self.
