SELF-DISCIPLINE

Self-discipline is required to achieve optimal health when breaking a habit (e.g., smoking and gambling) or rebalancing health issues caused by excess.

• Self-discipline allows you to stay focused on your goals. Self-discipline is like a muscle: the more you train it, the stronger you become. Lack of self-discipline can cause low self-esteem.

• According to an article in Psychological Science, self-discipline is a better predictor of academic success than IQ.

• Self-discipline is about making wise choices. From the food, you eat to the amount of exercise you do is dependent on how disciplined you are.
• Acceptance is the most basic challenge people face. They fail to accurately perceive and accept their current situation. It is important to identify an area where your discipline is weakest.

• Willpower is a concentration of force. Choose your objective. Create a plan of attack and then execute the plan. Your willpower is at its lowest when you feel stressed.

• Hard work is what many people try to avoid by doing what is easiest. But a strong challenge is commonly connected with strong results.

• Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when you don’t feel motivated to do so, and therefore you keep accumulating results. Persistence will ultimately provide its own motivation.

Self-discipline becomes very powerful when combined with goal-setting, passion, and planning. Write down your goals once again and make sure that you do everything in your power to stick to them.
