Episode #10: Stop Waiting for ‘Motivation’ – The Truth About Self-Discipline

You’re not stuck because you’re unmotivated—you’re stuck because you’re waiting for a feeling to do what discipline was designed for.

In this episode of 'Tell Your Truth', Shamika Brown-Upshaw delves into the myth of motivation and emphasizes the importance of discipline as a sustainable strategy for personal growth. The conversation explores how motivation is a fleeting emotional state influenced by various factors, while discipline is a deliberate choice that builds systems for long-term success. Shamika discusses the significance of aligning one's actions with their purpose and the role of energy and frequency in attracting desired outcomes. Practical steps for creating structure and discipline in daily life are provided, along with affirmations to reinforce positive habits.
