Discipline is a mental techne. You can design what ideas and habits you want to try to plant in your brain. Your mind is a garden of your own to terrace and irrigate, to plant and to graft, to water and weed and repair, -- and yes, to artificially fertilize if needed -- so that whatever the weather, out of your impulses will grow the actions which bear fruit according to what you truly value. Every push-up and pomodoro is weeding the garden.
