Sometimes, the only thing that gets you through what you need to do is discipline. Reasons why you can't do it, lack of confidence, low energy, environment distractions, personal disruptions, and simple procrastination bombard you at various times, and at particularly bad moments, all at once.
In times like that, you have to rely on your discipline. The catch is, you don't even realize you're relying on it.
It's similar to how the extra muscles you've developed in your arms helps you avoid back strain, even though you don't think about it. You build those arm muscles slowly, never sure when you'll reap the benefits, but something heavy always comes along.
The important things you do regularly because they need to be done, or they help you bring order to your chaos -- you'll rely on them to maintain during bad times. Every time you do them when you don't really need to, while things are going okay, you're building your discipline. You slowly build your ability to act, despite any obstacles, and you'll be ready when bad times come along, as they always do.
