You don't need to give it 100% every day to move closer to your goal.
2% is enough to keep the ball rolling.
Some days, you’ll have energy to do more – other days, less so.
Showing up matters more than showing up perfectly.
Even if it’s the tiniest action.
When I committed to working out 5 days a week for a full year, sometimes it was a full-day hike, and other times it was a 5 minute effort in my hotel room or living room.
When I committed to meditating for 365 days, sometimes it was just just a few deep breaths during my commute.
It didn’t matter. I showed up and kept the ball rolling, ready for the next day when I had the energy to give it my all.
That’s the secret to self-discipline: give yourself grace, without letting yourself off the hook.
It's not all or nothing; perfect or nothing at all. Consistency is what gets results.
What might self-discipline look like for you when you’re low on energy?
✅One email sent?
✅One page read?
✅One sentence in a journal?
Kind self-discipline will help you build trust in yourself to always show up.
And that creates momentum (which matters much more than perfection).
How will you show up, even just a tiny bit, today?
