Discipline REQUIRES Decision Marking

Discipline REQUIRES Decision Marking

Do you ever catch yourself saying "I just need more discipline" and then nothing changes? You're not alone in that loop, but the loop itself might be the clue. What if discipline was never actually the missing piece? In this episode, I'm breaking down why discipline without a real decision behind it never sticks, and what it actually looks like to put the decision first so the discipline has something to attach to. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS * Why "I need more discipline" is often a way to avoid making a real decision * How to turn a vague goal into a clear rule you can actually follow * A simple way to start practicing this today, nine minutes at a time __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Just ONE More Thing

You are on track to leave on time, maybe even early, and then you decide to throw in one load of laundry or fire off one quick email. The next thing you know, you are late before you even make it out the door, running around feeling like your whole day got set on fire. I am not a one more thing person, and in this episode I get into why that habit costs you so much more than the few minutes you think you are saving. There is actually a name for what happens when you keep reaching for one last task, and once you can see the pattern, you can start choosing something different. Episode Highlights: * What the one more thing habit is quietly doing to your brain, your time, and the people waiting on you * Why the hurry stays with you even after you finally walk in the door * A simple way to rethink what being ready actually means before you leave __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

You're INVITED

We are wired for connection, so the words invitation only can stop us in our tracks and stir up old feelings we would rather not revisit. Most of us know the sting of being left off a list. What we forget is how much power lives on the other side of an invitation, and how often we are the ones quietly waiting to be invited to something we already want. I want to flip that this week and put your invitation powers to good use. That might mean reaching out to someone who is waiting for those two words, or it might mean offering the invitation to yourself. Whatever you have been holding off on until someone hands you permission, consider this your nudge to stop waiting. Episode Highlights: * What pulling the thread on an invitation you never got can reveal * How extending an invitation to yourself can build real momentum * Who in your life might be waiting for you to extend the invitation __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

You CAN Change Your Life 9 Minutes at a Time

Most of us are living in a quiet wrestling match. There are the things we have to do, and there are the things we actually want to do, and somehow the things we're excited about keep getting pushed to the back burner. We tell ourselves we'll get to them once life slows down or we finally have enough time, and that day never quite arrives. This is the 100th episode, and I'm going back to the principle that started it all and the small, doable way everything shifts when you stop waiting for the perfect amount of time. I'm also bringing back something a lot of you have been asking me for. If there's something you've been putting off or telling yourself you'll never get to, consider this your nudge to begin. Episode Highlights: * Why the things you keep avoiding take far less time than you think * The simple pairing that takes the edge off whatever you've been resisting * What starts to change when you prove you can keep a promise to yourself __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime [https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime] Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com [https://www.jennifersise.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise [https://www.instagram.com/jennifersise/] Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.
