I’m having a hard time disciplining myself

In my experience discipline is working through those moments in which your body/mind is telling you no - and pushing through it to see the reward at the end.

Also I find compartment strategies good. Break any big thing into smaller steps and work on just accomplishing those. In addition maybe try using a day planner/schedule - there won’t be many “big game changer” tasks to begin with but there’s always things you’re not holding yourself accountable for, like not going to the gym because you’re tired, not eating right because you’re distressed/bored.

I started by just giving myself three tasks to accomplish each day like Read/Lift/Socialise and ensuring I did them. In the long run you’ll build a life where if you choose - you’ll be so tired by the time you hit your bed that there will be very little time for boredom of any kind.

One of the big mistakes people make is they suddenly go from doing nothing productive to trying to solve everything in one day and burn out quickly. Embrace the small steps to self improvement imo.

One step at a time. Make measurable goals and stick to them. Let's say, reading for 30 minutes everyday. Then add more and more shit to do as soon as it becomes a routine for you. It also doesn't have to be something extraordinaire. Start taking cold showers every morning, running, meditating, whatever floats your boat.
