Press play on the video ☝️

Imagine...

... if you had total clarity about your life aspirations, core values, and what it takes to live a life focused on them. Not only that, but you are fully committed to your goals, deeply motivated to achieve them, and have a step-by-step plan how to get there.

... Imagine that you have a consistent morning routine that supports you making progress in the areas of your life that are most important to you, and that sets you up for a great day, every day. You know how to effectively plan your day, and stay on top of the tasks and information that come from everywhere, without losing your focus or feeling overwhelmed.

... And then, imagine that you have built all the key habits you've always wanted to build, learned how to tame your impulses, overcome procrastination, and removed bad habits from your life. You know how to take action aligned with your values even when life catches you by surprise, and you feel that you are gaining positive momentum toward your goals.

How would that feel?

When I ask this question of those who come to me for coaching, I hear people say things like:

"I’d feel really proud of myself, like I’ve actually made it! A sense of fulfillment!"
"I’d be at peace, knowing that I'm living a more purposeful life, and not wasting my potential."
"I’d feel confidence and self-respect—that now I can actually believe in myself, and can back that up!"
"I’d have no regrets in my life."

Other people say they’d feel a sense of freedom, control, mastery, joy, or achievement. “I would love myself more”, some say.

This is the transformative power of self-discipline in our life.

After 25 years of study and practice in personal development, meditation, and spirituality,

I can say without hesitation that:

"Self-discipline is the fundamental key to growth and fulfillment in all areas of our life."

Without it, you cannot be your best self, nor live your best life.

The challenge is that ...

... most people find it difficult to stay on track with their goals. They may start with great motivation and the best of intentions, but soon find themselves not being consistent about it anymore. Life gets in the way, motivation fades, and you get stuck.

You may know that self-discipline is the key, but if every time you try, you fail, that only feeds a sense of frustration and inadequacy.

As a result, you don’t feel that you are making much progress.

That’s not your fault.

Our brain is wired to prioritize instant gratification on top of long-term goals, and everything in the world nowadays is actively exploiting this tendency, for profit.

Unfortunately, the art of self-discipline and focus, which is the solution to this trap, is not taught at schools. Your parents probably struggled with it as well—so it’s not something they could have taught you.You look at top achievers around you, and you may wonder: "how do they do this?"

You then start searching about self-discipline on YouTube and the web, and realize that most people talking about self-discipline today make it seem so forceful and strict, that it feels unappealing. It’s what I call military self-discipline, where it's all about being a drill sergeant toward yourself, repressing emotions, and beating yourself up to stay on track.

That may work for some people, but it doesn't feel like it's for you.

No wonder, then, that for most people self-discipline feels either impossible or undesirable.

The natural reaction to this is to just leave it for later, or to hope that by applying some tips and tricks from some YouTube videos here and there will do it.

But giving up and just hoping for the best doesn’t work.

You need a SYSTEM.

You need a step-by-step ROADMAP.

And you need these to be based on an approach to self-discipline that you can say

a wholehearted yes to.

An approach that is more mindful, achievable, and refined.

Let me zoom out for a moment ...

... to tell you how I solved this problem.

For several years I saw the struggles of many people—both friends and coaching clients—in building self-discipline. They would often ask me how I can stay so disciplined. I realized that most people wanted that skill, but didn’t know how to approach it. I knew how to be disciplined, due to my strong background in meditation and wisdom traditions, but I didn’t know how to explain it in a way that is effective for most people.

Then I began to wonder:

.. how can I make self-discipline—the key to all goals and purpose—easier to practice?

.. can I actually make it pleasant and desirable for other people?

It took me years to refine my system of self-discipline, and to learn how to teach it in the most effective way.

The pivotal change for me was realizing what self-discipline is truly about.

That moment of epiphany was translated in my mind into words that

I had never seen combined before:

"Self-discipline = self-love."

Let me unpack that epiphany.

Self-discipline is ...

not self-punishment,
not self-denial,
not inflexibility,
not about renouncing pleasure,

but self-respect
but self-empowerment
but consistency

but about prioritizing fulfillment

True self-discipline, or what I now call mindful self-discipline, grows naturally out of a deep awareness of our core values and aspirations. Seen in this light, self-discipline is simply the price we pay for our goals—the ticket to our aspirations. It is a natural expression of our appreciation for our life, and a commitment to our full potential.

From this insight came the understanding that a more evolved approach to self-discipline is not based on forceful willpower, self-repression, or dry productivity tactics.

No.

The system of self-discipline that I wanted to bring into the world had to be built upon a deeper foundation. That foundation, I realized, is the philosophy and life lessons from the wisdom traditions of all cultures, combined with the transformative power of meditation and awareness.

That was the genesis of my framework Mindful Self-Discipline. That framework, further developed and refined over the last few years, and combined with my work in Practical Meditation and Wise Confidence, gave birth to the Higher Mind System.

The Higher Mind System

I’ve put together everything I’ve learned about self-discipline, purpose, focus, and mindful living into a framework called the Higher Mind System. And now, for the first time, there is a step-by-step program to help you learn the system and implement it effectively in your life.

The Higher Mind System is composed of seven different practices or disciplines. Each of these include several practical exercises designed to help you grow your higher mind and fulfill your aspirations.

ASPIRE

Focus on what really matters.

PLAN

Create empowering structures in your life.

ACT

Act as who you want to be.

REFLECT

Grow your awareness and make wiser choices.

MEDITATE

Master your mind, emotions and impulses.

OVERCOME

Persevere through all challenges.

ACCELERATE

Gain momentum and become unstoppable.

Here's the thing.

There are people who don’t have any goals, any aspirations, any sense of purpose or intentionality in life. They are happy just entertaining themselves and pressing as many dopamine buttons as they can. If you are in this group, this course is not for you.

There are people who have goals, but they are afraid of committing, of investing, of going all in. If you are in this group, this course is probably not for you—because it is not a magic bullet. You will still need to put in some work to achieve your goals!

There are people who are already fully committed, focused, and disciplined. They have strong momentum in all their goals, and are living life in close alignment with their core values every day. If you are in this group, you likely don’t need this course.

Now if you are among the millions of people out there who have meaningful goals, are ready to commit, and need support staying disciplined and focused, then this course is for you.

The mission of my work is to help 108,000 humans fulfill their aspirations—and I’d love for you to be one of them.

That is my career aspiration. I’m fully committed to it. And if you want to benefit from what I’ve created, then you’ll need to take a step forward and commit too.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Who is this course for?

This course is designed for anyone who wants a step-by-step system for achieving their goals in life, regardless of current experience in personal development. Whether you’re just starting your self-improvement journey or have tried other programs before, if you want to increase self-discipline, focus, and motivation so that you can make progress with your life aspirations, this program is for you.
Q: How much time do I need to commit each week?

We recommend you learn one module per week, and each module takes from 1h to 1.5h to consume. As for the exercises, it depends on each person, but you can expect to spend 2-4 hours per module to complete the exercises. That said, you can move at your own pace; some prefer a slower, more contemplative approach, while others finish more quickly.
Q: Do I get lifetime access to the materials?

Yes! When you purchase the course, you’ll have unlimited access to the course, including all future updates and new content. You can revisit any module or lesson whenever you like.
Q: Will there be any live support or interaction?

The core of the program is self-paced, with pre-recorded lessons and worksheets. However, every lesson has a built-in comments forum that is monitored daily by Giovanni. There you can ask any questions and he will personally answer. You can also contact our friendly support team if at any time you need clarification or encouragement.

Q:How is the course structured?

The program in its current form consists of three modules: Aspire, Plan, Act. In the next few months we will expand the course to include the other four modules of the Higher Mind system: Reflect, Meditate, Overcome, Accelerate. They will be added on to your course free of charge.

Each module includes five to seven video lessons, as well as worksheets, guided meditations, and bonus materials. We’ve worked hard to make the lessons as short and direct as possible, so the course is easier to follow. The lessons are from 5 to 20 minutes each.
Q: Do I need to believe in anything specific in order for this to work? Is this a spiritual course by nature?

No. The only thing you need to believe is that your goals are worth pursuing.

Even though Giovanni draws teachings from multiple sources of wisdom—including Stoicism, Yoga, Buddhism—the end product, the Higher Mind system, does not require any particular worldview. You can follow it and benefit from it regardless of your beliefs.
Q: What if I fall behind or want to accelerate?

We recommend following the weekly release schedule of the modules, but if you’d prefer to speed up simply send us an email and we will unlock the future modules ahead of time for you.
Q: How is this different from other self-discipline or goal-setting programs?

The Higher Mind framework integrates tools from meditation, personal development, psychology, as well as insights from ancient wisdom traditions, to create the complete roadmap of personal development. That is why we divide the work across seven different disciplines, while most other programs out there—many of them more famous and more expensive—cover only three or four of these disciplines, or even less.

Q: Do you offer a refund policy?

Yes. We stand by the effectiveness of the program. If you complete at least one of the modules, including the exercises, but feel you haven’t gained real value, just send us an email within 30 days of purchase, and we will refund you 100%. If you are not happy, we are not happy.
Q: I don't really know what I want yet... I'm not clear about my goals

In the Higher Mind System, the first of the seven areas is aspire—being fully focused on empowering you to solve this particular challenge. So rest assured that this will guide you to gain the clarity about what you want. It doesn't need to be something grandiose and world changing. If you want to make any change in your life, or in yourself, then you have a goal. And if you have a goal, and are willing to work for it, then the Higher Mind System is for you.
Q: I’m afraid this might not work for me…

You might think, “Your system looks great, but my case is different because __________”. Different people fill in that blank with different things: “I don’t have time”, “I’m a slow learner”, “I’ve tried everything already”, “I don’t have much energy”, “my partner is not supportive of my goals”, “I’m too old”.

As someone who has coached individuals for many years now, and has done a lot of thinking and writing on these topics, I can tell you that I’ve seen everything. While each person’s mind and life are to some extent unique, the difficulties people face in achieving their goals can all be boiled down to a few core challenges—all of which are directly addressed throughout the Higher Mind System. This is a highly adaptable methodology, not a rigid system.

The thinking that “this might not work for me” is itself an expression of one the challenges—self-doubt. This voice inside of you is not helping you be the person you want to be; it finds a problem with every solution, is skeptical about anything that could create real change, and is an expert at arguing for your limitations.

You already know where this voice leads you. If you want to experience different results, you’ll need to stop letting it dictate your decisions.
Q: My family/partner/friends are not supportive of my goals

You may believe that you can’t make significant progress with your goals because the people in your life, or the environment you are in, make it impossible.

The Higher Mind program includes the practical lessons I’ve learned about how to continue to make progress in your aspirations even in the worst of environments. And, of course, it also covers practical advice on how to improve your environment, and set healthy boundaries in your relationships.

Q:I can’t follow a self-discipline program because I struggle with consistency

You practice the Higher Mind System so that you become consistent and gain control of your life. This framework doesn't require a huge time commitment from you; instead, it gives you options to move forward from where you are, starting small and making progress along the way, according to the amount of time you are willing to put in.

Motivation comes and goes—it’s a feeling, and as such it is not reliable for consistent action. The Higher Mind system fully recognizes that fact, and is built around this understanding, giving you tools both to re-kindle motivation as well as to consistently move forward even in the times when no motivation is present. Imagine what you could do if you had that type of consistency.
Q: Maybe you think “I’ve tried something like this before, and it didn't work” 🧐

This is a variation of the self-doubt voice that we just discussed. It discourages you from trying anything, by linking it to past experiences of failure. “You’ll fail at this too, just like you did before, so don’t bother trying”.

The truth is that you may fail at something 20 times, and succeed at the 21st attempt. But that will never happen if you bow to your self-doubt and give up trying. In any case, this is a very different framework from what you might have tried before. The way the concepts and steps are structured in the Higher Mind System is different from what I’ve found anywhere else—that’s why I created this program. Otherwise I’d just send people to another program, and then create something else…
Q: What if I fall behind or want to accelerate?

We recommend following the weekly release schedule of the modules, but if you’d prefer to speed up simply send us an email and we will unlock the future modules ahead of time for you.
Q: What if self-discipline is not for me? It sounds too rigid.

The version of self-discipline that most people have been exposed to is indeed rigid and dry. However, that is not my approach. In my bestselling book Mindful Self-Discipline I've defined self-discipline as acting in alignment with your values. It is, actually, an act of self-love, and self-respect. It's not overpowering yourself to do things you don't want—it is learning to love doing the things that are ultimately good for you.

If you have a goal of any type, in any area of life, you will need self-discipline. There is no way around this, unfortunately. But you can learn to develop this essential skill in a way that is more approachable and less painful—a way that works for you. Remember, self-discipline is here to serve you, and empower you to be your best self.
