The Neuropsychology of Self-Discipline will teach you a seven-step

process to build the power of self-discipline and motivation into your own
life. The first three steps are motivational -- they provide you with the fire,
the drive, the emotional energy (the fourth step) to complete your goal .
The final three steps are actionable -- they detail the things that must be
done for you to succeed.

1. Create a Purpose: Define exactly what you really want to accomplish.


This gives you a cause, a reason for making the effort. It lights a small
spark inside you that will soon begin to burn as your emotion and drive
increases.

2. Find Role Models: In order to believe that you can reach your goal, it
is important for you find others who have achieved a similar goal. These
models provide you with two key ingredients -- the belief that your goal
can be accomplished, a sense of possibility -- and a template or plan you
can follow. They've achieved it, why can't you. This sense of possibility
combined with a defined purpose further feeds our emotional fire.

3. Sensory Vision: You can vividly see yourself reaping the rewards of
achieving your goal. The vision comes alive. You can see, touch, smell,
and feel it. you go from "I think I can do it" to "I know I can do it."

4. Emotion: Your vision becomes atomic in nature, every cell of your


body is charged with emotion and passion. With this passion you are now
motivated to complete action steps four, five, and six.

5. Planning: You determine exactly what you need to do to reach your


goal and how long it will take. This step further fuels your passion and
stokes your emotional fires by turning your vision into a concrete plan.

6. Knowledge and Skills: Once you have a plan to reach your goal, you
have to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to implement the plan.
You must develop the confidence that you can learn. Each time you
master a skill, your confidence in your ability to succeed increases, you
get closer to your goal, and the passion from which you draw your
motivation energy further increases.

7. Persistence and Perseverance: Persistence is staying with your vision,


seeing it through to its completion no matter how long it takes or how
difficult it is. Perseverance is persisting in spite of physical and emotional
pain, setbacks, and hardships.

As your vision fuels your efforts and your efforts bring you closer to your
vision, you put together a self-perpetuating spiral of vision, belief,
emotion, and effort. When this formula is followed, it will change your
life.
