What is blissipline?

Blissipline is a term that has been coined to describe the practice of combining discipline and bliss in order to achieve a state of flow or optimal performance. Discipline and bliss may seem like two opposite concepts, but in reality, they can complement each other in a powerful way. 

The word “discipline” is derived from the Latin word “disciplina,” which means “instruction” or “teaching.” This word is closely related to the word “disciple,” which also comes from the Latin word “discipulus,” meaning “student” or “follower.” The connection between these two words is rooted in the idea that discipline involves the rigorous training and instruction of individuals, much like the way a teacher would train and instruct their students.

The combination of discipline and bliss involves cultivating a sense of discipline in one’s daily life, while also cultivating a sense of joy and gratitude in every moment.

To practice blissipline, one must first identify goals and priorities, and then commit to a daily routine that supports those goals. This may involve setting aside time for meditation, exercise, or other activities that promote physical and mental health. And if you have got stuff to do, things on your to-do list –  may it be personal or in your business – structure and focus. Accomplishments definetely add to the feeling of bliss.

For me, this means taking time each day for those things – they help me stay focused and energized, while also bringing me a lot of joy and satisfaction. In addition to discipline, the practice of “blissipline” also involves cultivating a sense of gratitude and joy in every moment.

This can be achieved by focusing on the present moment, finding pleasure in small things, and developing a sense of appreciation for one’s life and surroundings. Whether I’m stuck in traffic or dealing with a difficult situation at work, I try to find the silver lining and appreciate the good things in my life.

Ask yourself: What is good about being stuck in traffic?
Hint: It gives you the gift of a moment to pause. To breathe deeply. to connect to your gratitude.

Blissipline is not just about achieving personal goals or success, but also about finding happiness and fulfillment in the journey.

It involves letting go of stress and negativity, and embracing a positive and joyful outlook on life. It’s not always easy, of course. There are days when I struggle to find joy in the little things, or when I get frustrated with myself for not sticking to my routine. But that’s okay. The point of blissipline isn’t to be perfect; it’s to find a balance that works for you.

So, if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your personal life or business, I encourage you to give blissipline a try. Find a routine that works for you, and make sure to include activities that bring you joy and happiness. And remember, it’s not about being perfect – it’s about finding joy in the journey and achieving a state of flow that can lead to greater success and fulfillment in all aspects of life.

Ps. It’s unclear who exactly coined the term “Blissipline.” It seems to have emerged from the personal development and self-help community as a way to describe the practice of combining discipline and bliss to achieve a state of heightened awareness and happiness. However, the origins and specific creator of the term are not well-documented. I remember Vishan Lakhiani from Mindvalley using it and also Hedviggen in 2013.
