How can a person develop stronger self-discipline without external motivating factors?



Answer:
self-discipline comes from within - you learn to tell yourself 'no,' you learn to set priorities, goals, and stay focused. You educate yourself about the forces that undermine self-discipline; you decide that it's an important dynamic necessary to accomplish goals, and a trait you'd be proud to incorporate your personality. It might also set you apart from your peers - are you strong enough?

think of the internal factors. how being better and doing better will help you in the long run. it really all depends on the situation.
I'm not a psychiatrist but I would think that Self-discipline has to be accomplished through the will and motivation of the individual. You must stay focused and determined to self discipline yourself. You should try to stay on track in regards to the discipline you are striving to achieve without loosing sight of the task at hand. Additionally, you should try to block out deterring external factors or pressures.
What ever your doing to feel you need self discipline the only way to do it yourself is: Keep a journal and track every time you do it or want to do it. Dig deep inside yourself and ask why do I want to do it? In life we aquirre things called TRIGGERS. Triggers are things that happen or are said to us to cause us to react in a certian way. The battle is figuring out why we want to do something(thus the CAUSE for the thought), then its alot easier to stop the reaction(our ACTION).
Your very vague about what your talking about. Hence the answer has to be very vage and cover a general area. But if you follow what I said above, you should be able to self-discipline your self. What ever it is. Good Luck, and always be honest with yourself. For you are the only one you cannot lie to!
You either have it or you dont. IT comes from within, noone can force you to conjure it up.
Well, all the power is in your mind.
Simple.. The level of your Desire. If you really desired self discipline you'll have it. If you will put your heart into it. Point your Desire meter high..
have faith in yourself to overcome all
