Can you do these 3 things today?

Can you do these 3 things today?

Discipline isn’t built in years, it’s built in days. Start with today, start with three simple acts.

September 15, 2025

We talk about discipline like it’s this big, rigid thing, like an iron cage or a military drill. But really, it’s more personal than that. Discipline is the quiet conversation between who you are and who you want to be.

And that conversation isn’t about tomorrow, or next month, or “someday.” It’s about what you do today.

Here are three things I’ve learned to do when I want to build real self-discipline:

1. Keep one small promise to yourself

Forget the giant leap. Start with something so small it feels almost silly. Drink the glass of water you said you would. Do the ten pushups. Write one page. Why? Because every time you keep a promise to yourself, you build trust. And trust in yourself is the foundation of discipline.

2. Get uncomfortable on purpose

Discipline doesn’t grow in comfort zones; it grows in the face of resistance. Take a cold shower. Say no to the distraction you usually say yes to. Do the thing you’ve been avoiding. It’s not about suffering; it’s about teaching yourself that discomfort isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.

3. Write down tomorrow before it arrives

Don’t let tomorrow be a mystery. Before you close your eyes tonight, write down the three things your future self will thank you for doing. Then, when tomorrow comes, it’s no longer about motivation. It’s about execution.

Self-discipline isn’t a punishment; it’s an act of love. It’s you saying, I won’t abandon myself. I won’t let fear, fatigue, or distraction decide who I get to be.

And the beauty is, you don’t have to build it all at once. You just have to start today.
