Jumia Books The Science of Self-Discipline

Self-discipline is a crucial aspect of achieving goals and resisting temptation. According to Peter Hollins’ work, self-discipline is the missing piece that separates dreams from reality. It’s the ability to execute, achieve, produce, and focus, despite internal and external distractions.

Key Components

1. Willpower: The capacity to exert control over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, even when faced with adversity or temptation.
2. Mental Toughness: The ability to withstand mental and emotional challenges, such as stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, and maintain focus and motivation.
3. Self-Control: The capacity to regulate one’s impulses, emotions, and behaviors, allowing for intentional decision-making and goal-oriented actions.
