EP 94- You Don't Need More Discipline, You Need Alignment

In this episode, I challenge the idea that a good life is built by constantly forcing yourself to be more disciplined. I believe discipline is a season that helps us build the habits we need, but eventually those habits should create a life we’re genuinely excited to live rather than one we have to white-knuckle our way through. I share how I’ve learned to recognize the difference between doing hard things for growth and living out of alignment, and why the desires, strengths, and inclinations God gives us are worth paying attention to. Ultimately, I want this episode to encourage you to ask whether the life you’re building actually aligns with who God is calling you to become.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the misconception of discipline02:46 Building habits that foster internal motivation05:41 The importance of pursuing true desires08:31 The joy of movement and work10:00 Living intentionally and in alignment with God11:27 Using discipline as a tool, not a prison12:55 The balance between discipline and enjoyment14:41 God's design for a joyful life16:55 Slowing down and enjoying life in alignment17:21 The season of discipline and living freely
