The Hilary Silver Podcast

How I Quit Being Self Disciplined & Got Super Fit


Listen Later

Think self-discipline is the key to success? Think again. Drawing from her own transformation, Hilary explains why self-discipline is the anti-hero of personal growth—restrictive, harsh, and downright unsustainable.

Instead of relying on rigid rules and unrealistic expectations, Hillary introduces the concept of self-devotion—a compassionate, loving, and sustainable approach to achieving your goals. Think of self-devotion as the unwavering commitment you’d expect from a devoted partner but turned inward. When you show up for yourself out of love, not obligation, everything shifts.

Whether you’re looking to crush your resolutions, build a thriving business, or create a healthier lifestyle and body, Hillary’s approach to self-devotion is the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

 

Episode Highlights:

  • Why self-discipline is more harmful than helpful.
  • The life-changing shift from self-discipline to self-devotion.
  • How self-devotion turns goals into meaningful, joyful experiences.
  • Practical examples of embracing self-devotion in everyday life.
  • Real talk on why loving yourself is the most effective strategy you’ll ever use.
