If Discipline Feels Like a Struggle- Devotion Might Be Your Key

Hello, bright one-

When you think of the word discipline what is the first thing that comes up for you?

And, are you someone who identifies as being disciplined?

If you’re like most of the women who hire me as their coach, then you have a big heart with even BIGGER dreams and yet you might find yourself challenged by the structure and follow-through that is often needed to build these beautiful new worlds for yourself.

And yes, I do help women create the masculine structure and systems to move the needle on their passions and purpose but more importantly I support them in having a different relationship with the word discipline and the work that is required to build their online business, romantic relationships, and more.  

For me, life is sacred and the things we tend to consistently, tend to serve us.

I like to think of life as one big devotional act and each area of life as a sacred temple.

There is the temple of my body.

The temple of my home.

The temple of my mind.

And the temple of my heart.

And a temple requires daily upkeep—cleaning, organizing, and maintaining its beauty.

Similarly, nurturing a goal or practice consistently allows it to flourish and remain “pure”.

If I show up to these spaces with reverence, attention, and care consistently… they serve me BEYOND the ways that I serve them.

Discipline feels like the practice of the mind, where devotion feels like the practice of the heart.

When we can release the desire to be more discipled and start to play with the idea of being more devoted, things can organically begin to shift.

And bonus points if you can suspend the desire for the end result and instead focus on the act itself.

This is what creates longevity, this is what allows you to show up on the days where you’re not feeling motivated.

It’s simply about becoming more and more intimate with the thing you are devoting yourself to.

And devotion is mostly about showing up- so if you are wanting to build a new practice, start with something small and do it consistently for 30 days.

(It’s like dental hygiene, it’s more important to do a little consistently, than a lot every now and again. Brushing your teeth for one hour every month isn’t going to support you as much as brushing your teeth for three minutes every day).

Start small and after a 30-day period, you will have not only built the trust within yourself, but you’ll also begin to identify with someone who can commit to things.

I would love to hear if this sparked anything for you as well as what you’re wanting to devote yourself to for the remainder of the year?

With love and devotion,

Callie Mae
