Self Discipline

Procrastination is the habit of putting things off. Self discipline is the secret weapon we use to overcome it. If we were to take some time out each day to look at what our habitual behaviour is doing to us we would truly understand the need to introduce self discipline into our lives. Have you ever wondered what opportunities you have missed because of procrastination? Do you understand the consequences of your eating habits on your health? It is quite easy to see how some of our habits actually move us away from our desires when we make an honest assessment of our current lifestyle. It is unfortunate that the stronger a negative habit becomes the harder it is to give it up. It becomes addictive and we make up all sorts of reasons and justifications why we should continue doing it. Now let me ask you this. What if you were to replace one daily error or negative habit with one daily discipline on a week by week basis? Do you see how you could turn your life around? You see, the introduction of new disciplines has a sort of compounding effect. Not only does it become easier to introduce a new discipline but we are also able to introduce major changes that previously we would of thought not possible!

Imagine if you were to cut out that chocolate bar and replace it with some fruit each day, if you took a walk each lunch break rather than sit at your desk. The impact on your health would be noticable in just a few weeks. Your energy levels would improve and so would your confidence. Every new disipline would affect all other disciplines and before long we would have very little room for the negative habits that once controlled our lives. Self discipline is a major weapon on our road to success. Don't settle for a life of mediocrity use self discipline to become extraordinary.
