The Motivation of Performance's Discipline

We all know the maxim so widespread by bodybuilding athletes like myself "motivation is our state of mind commanding our actions while discipline is our resilience in order to enjoy consistent long-term results, regardless of our motivation, stress, emotional, tiredness."

Performance, on the other hand, can be explained as the performance action, or fulfillment of obligation or execution, evaluated in terms of efficiency and yield.

For this reason, it is very difficult to disconnect motivation, performance and discipline, as they are always interrelated. In my case, I returned to training in December 2021 totally unmotivated and without performance, but always disciplined

At first I started going on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after the first month I started going on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and then I saw the first results, a few weeks later, from Monday to Friday. The performance generated my motivation

Starting to feel the positive effects on the body and daily serotonin, I started to train harder, eat better, sleep better, produce more and beat some of the countless as the training load weight

How to create motivation through Discipline and Performance

As much as there are thousands of academic theories about how to create winning teams (most notably Dr. Ruth Wageman, from Harvard), in this article I am more interested in the individual and how to engage him in a purpose

Whether in your personal or professional life, a person must have at least enough discipline to start structuring themselves mentally, creating a self-feeding system of performance and motivation

I am not minimizing any wrong decisions, limiting beliefs, impacts of the pandemic or any other external agents that may have caused people to lose that motivation, or perhaps affect their personal discipline, but again, it is up to the individual to self-assess if there is no need to take the first step towards a greater purpose. And it's time for companies to see people as individuals as human beings

The best boss I ever had was at Hewlett-Packard, who weekly talked to everyone on the team in 1-to-1 meetings, asked how we were doing in our personal lives and always adapted activities to the scenario he found, which he got as a result. was to extract the best in each one

This example I carry to this day, with all the teams and C-levels I have to deal with, because the human being is not a machine, and we must respect the individuality of each one, their history and their struggle to survive in this crazy world
