Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

Discipline can build your life—or quietly become the thing you hide behind. In this episode, we unpack the difference between discipline as healing and discipline as avoidance.

Hosted by Sana on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, this conversation is for anyone entering 2026 feeling both driven and exhausted. Guest Alex Duenas shares how strict childhood discipline shaped him, how a simple workout calendar became his lifeline, and why vision matters more than motivation. Together, they explore control vs. confidence, rest vs. identity, and how to reframe failure as feedback.

About the Guest:
Alex Duenas is a coach and entrepreneur who has been training consistently for nearly two decades. He shares lessons from building businesses, navigating setbacks, and using discipline to create purpose-driven habits.

Key Takeaways:

• Use discipline to reduce instant gratification habits that create guilt and regret

• Anchor consistency to a clear “why” (vision) so habits don’t rely on motivation

• Control what you can: your thoughts, your actions, and your daily inputs

• Reframe setbacks as “temporary defeat,” then extract the lesson immediately

• Create momentum with a small win (even 10–25 push-ups) to shift your state

• Lead yourself like someone others can follow: choices, routines, and standards
