We all have to achieve certain abilities in order to fully enjoy and advance our life. From our material-timed life to our endless spiritual journey.
One of the very important part of this is how do to things, how to "live" (by our true nature), how to achieve our freedom to really accomplish our goals. A big part of this, which is anyway organic and not so aggressive as it sounds, is discipline.
I will note some things that helped me personally, some will sound very simple yet so necessary to understand from an experiential view. I also hope we can all share together our wisdom, and help each other in this topic.
As I matured and this is something very important, as for the most part in my life I was really immature in some drastic regards, I observed some essential things. This is beginner level friendly yet can be helpful as a reminder. We have a lot of things to accomplish.
One of aspect to understand is:
Why do you want something? Why do you do something?
The question of why in regards to your desires, to your actions needs to be answered fully and it needs to be elaborate. Our purpose is very important.
I will get into the matters quickly, but to illustrate some example, this question can be entertained from the smallest of actions to multiple decade commitments.
This understanding ties firstly into our chemical manifestation in the brain, which is something manifested as well from our spiritual state. This needs at one point also an overcoming as you'll understand below.
We all know the popular "Immediate satisfaction vs. Long term satisfaction" line of thought. This is fine and a opening to understanding more and more of this. This has great value now in our world.
The mass people of the world only do actions in accordance of their own created reward system in the brain.
We contain inside the chemical tools and systems that makes us be able to commit to any purpose and achieve it! Life is so beautiful and we as humans have in our hands the hands that can create anything and do anything.
With the above we understand the simply that the reward system motivates us to act, to pursue something, to desire something. This goes also both ways, as from the inner chemical world, to produce an act or desire or being stimulated by a goal to act or desire something.
These are scientific terms and observance, however with the spiritual nature of ourselves we understand much more.
We need only to understand the experiential view from this scientific structure of reality. As to not add unnecessary sources and details I will resume all of this.
As so the facts are as follows:
1. Conscious understanding of the above systems of why and how we do things is necessary to control and access this purposefully. (Mass people do this subconsciously and are at the mercy of life's influences and lack of ownership of themselves).
2. Dopamine creates the desire, thus the pain that leads to action.
3. Satisfaction is necessary, celebration is necessary. Yet it doesn't lead directly to more motivation, quite the opposite. Therefore MANAGING CELEBRATION, HAPPINES AND JOY in a PURPOSEFUL way is necessary to maintain momentum.
4. The reward must be ideally routed to the work itself , as to make it a habit.
5. Synergic stimulation to make your ass get to work is helpful for a short time, while long term creates a pattern of behavior that disables the reward system.
(Example: Want to go to gym. I am very lazy therefore I will help myself with tracking my progress with an app. This app I write down my gym routine, spend time preparing the meals etc. Yet one day I have no access to this app, lost my phone. I have lost the synergy with this stimulation and I will lose the "reward" of actually going to the gym without these extra steps.)
6. Working only for short term goals will only make room for disappointment. There is a need for long term perspective and fragmenting a logical future.
As for ending this part of the discussion, I have to emphasize that the above is a beginning to understanding this. The baseline direct value of this, is to unite fully with your purpose. Commit truly, and involve yourself in the process of this.
Doing this will make you "addicted" truly to the work for your goal. You will want to work out, you will want to meditate, not because of the reward, outcome necessarily, but because you have inhabited this as part of your nature and you enjoy this.
Doing the hard things purposefully with interest, will create in the body the chemical reaction necessary to make it enjoyable. This is not to be taken out of context and this happens in time with due experience and approach based on your nature and interest.
The body adapts, the mind adapts. The only deciding factor of this is you making this decision and committing to it.
In regards to discipline and success in life, Cleaning is paramount as well as protection, but to emphasize the obvious again, with full force of necessity: Sun energy is very important for your energy levels, for your clarity of mind. Nutrition and also good sleep patterns.
A good functioning or at least stable function will suffice for you to shape your life.
Psychological reasoning
We are all different and not equal. We all have our powerful aspects and weak ones in different measures and dimensions. You have to know yourself, your behavior, your desires, your goals. How do you view yourself? Where are you now and where you need to be now.
Write these down. Based on your characteristically nature, your tendencies that can help yourself in this regard.
One will be with a fiery nature, one can excel in quick and sharp decision and abilities. Flow of ideas and explosive success. You get the idea of a goal and action. Do it quickly, learn to inhabit your nature to what needs to be one.
One will be of a water type, one can excel in adaptability, in making the best of what it is. With air, one will know how to connect and acknowledge what is to be done, will do it in a specific way. We all have all of these qualities either dormant or awakened within us.
The purpose of the above is to understand that you have the resources to start this life process. Of gaining control and shaping. You have great abilities, all of you. Then you can learn and expand on those you don't hold much.
Logic and Emotion
In regards to doing things and discipline, the inspiration and satisfaction can be put on the emotion, yet the actual work and necessity tends to be on the logical side. Not as a thought process but as a state of mind which is: 1. Clarity 2. Focus 3. Perception.
Emotions are extreme catalysts that will amplify the state of the matters. One who is oriented to the inner core of themselves, will have the emotions very powerful, yet sometimes can be pursued in imagination and delusion. One who is oriented towards the outside, will have the emotions as sentiments of guiding, as a possible insight with due work and advancement. Both of these state are happening during our days.
You need to maintain good hygiene of thought and emotions, know why and how you can steer yourself to success and happiness, one step at a time.
These are tools for you when you work, and are worlds of beauty when you rest.
Stress, Anxiety, Panic Attacks
The best advice against stress and existential pressure, is to confront the problem exactly when you are stressed. Postponing this, will backfire this stress into more stress and it will incubate itself into damage that is hormonal and of organs. This is a health advice ultimately, do confront the problems of the stress instantly.
Breaks are necessary as well.
You need periods to rest, as with anything in this world. This is a necessity.
Do not overcompensate. If you couldn't do something in a day, it is fine, do not compensate the next days the loss, rather seek the normal day of this, unless necessary of course or at the timeframe of a few weeks or months, in a quest of self – accountability.
Stability, Equilibrium is the Key to true Excellence
If you are continually identified with saddens, nothing will be truly done. At one point you will crash.
If you are continually identified with happiness, nothing needs to be done, this is likewise a suicidal path, unfortunately.
We have things to do. Yes we have reasons to celebrate, to be happy. Yes , we have reasons to be sad.
We can justify either way our worlds, and likewise I will respectfully agree with you.
I understand from the depth of suffering to the ecstasy of life, all of it. But without these two united and in a circle of life, we cannot do things.
So you must learn how to react and control yourself during these circles, and enjoy and transform them both. If you keep these two in an equilibrium and conscious access, you will be outside of their direct limitation on you and you will achieve a freedom of choice and action.
The purpose of discipline is to acquire freedom and control. It is to make yourself be happy about the true important things, it is for you to accomplish extraordinary things.
As long as you keep pursuing this actively and passively, you will succeed in this, step by step. Every failure in this is a success as long as you keep looking forward.
As for other tips that helped me, was doing Planetary Squares. The commitment of this, and even after I butchered some, I did it regardless, as to make me understand the importance of focus, tending to the perfection but also having fulfilled the planning of this. Working routines are great for this along with planning and note taking into an app or book.

Hail Satan! I want to hear your helpful knowledge.

We contain inside the chemical tools and systems that makes us be able to commit to any purpose and achieve it! Life is so beautiful and we as humans have in our hands the hands that can create anything and do anything.
The reward system (the mesocorticolimbic circuit) is a group of neural structures responsible for incentive salience (i.e., "wanting"; desire or craving for a reward and motivation), associative learning (primarily positive reinforcement and classical conditioning), and positively-valenced emotions, particularly ones involving pleasure as a core component (e.g., joy, euphoria and ecstasy).[1][2] Reward is the attractive and motivational property of a stimulus that induces appetitive behavior, also known as approach behavior, and consummatory behavior.[1] A rewarding stimulus has been described as "any stimulus, object, event, activity, or situation that has the potential to make us approach and consume it is by definition a reward".[1] In operant conditioning, rewarding stimuli function as positive reinforcers;[3] however, the converse statement also holds true: positive reinforcers are rewarding.[3][4]
With the above we understand the simply that the reward system motivates us to act, to pursue something, to desire something. This goes also both ways, as from the inner chemical world, to produce an act or desire or being stimulated by a goal to act or desire something.
