Think about all the times you said things like âI need to drink more waterâ, or âI need to do more reading.â While these issues can feel more like mild irritations than wider life issues most of the time, theyâre all reflective of one thing: your self-discipline. Essentially, itâs the continuation of good, healthy habits that ultimately improve your life. Put it this way, when life is running smoothly: work is flowing, youâre not making silly mistakes and you feel positive within yourself and your relationships – everything is the culmination of self-discipline.
Each time you put yourself in a position to win, youâre profiting from all of the previous times youâve shown a sense of self-discipline. Without that trait, itâs easy to slip up and break a disciplined streak. The only person who can hold you accountable is you, potentially causing self-deprecation to creep in too. Itâs important not to let that happen.
