About Higher Mind
*** ATTENTION: This is a companion app for members of the Mindful Self-Discipline program. You will only be able to use it if you are a member. ***
What if your phone, instead of being a reason for continuous distraction and procrastination, became a tool of motivation, focus and self-discipline? What if it could help you live more consciously, live more on purpose, and achieve your goals?
Enter the Mindful Self-Discipline app—the ultimate “self-discipline in a box” solution. It is one thing to read the book and take notes, but unless you implement the key concepts and practices in your daily life, nothing much will change. This is an app to help you implement, and live, the concepts of the book by the same name (by Giovanni Dienstmann)
With the app you will get the tools you need, daily reminders to keep you on track, and also greater focus and commitment.
TRACK: make progress with your goals
- Keep track of your life and aspirations using the +1/-1 concept
- Set rewards for yourself to keep you motivated
- Get insights on your progress and become aware of your patterns
- Develop the awareness needed to live life more on purpose
JOURNAL: Stay on track and become aware
- Develop self-awareness through a short daily journaling exercise
- Ability to edit and export past entries (your data belongs to you!)
- The three power questions that will help you develop gratitude, see your mistakes without shaming yourself and re-focus on your goals every day
- Create daily reminders so you don’t forget to journal, meditate, and track
The path toward your goals and aspirations doesn’t need to be so long, painful and unpredictable. With the help of this simple yet powerful app, being more self-disciplined in life becomes much easier.
This app is an investment in yourself. I’ve spent years and thousands of hours discovering, practicing, teaching and refining these techniques. If you have a goal or aspiration that you care about, and are committed to achieving it, I think you will love this!
If you have any questions or issues with the app, or want to request an invitation to become a member, send us a message at https://www.mindfulselfdiscipline.com/contact-me/
