A Self Discipline Definition (and an elephant)
One definition (of my favourite concept) and 3 ways to build the good stuff into your life.
Here’s a definition of self discipline:
…the ability to make yourself do things you know you should do even when you do not want to…
Cambridge Dictionary
It might not be the very best definition, but it encapsulates my journey in trying to develop self-discipline pretty well.
Thankfully, I’m finding the process of bringing discipline into my life a little easier as time goes on. And that’s down to strategies like these:
Getting rid of temptations
Right now, I’ve got this down to a fine art.
If I’m writing, I’ve got some background music playing, my phone in the other room, and notifications turned off on my computer.
I suffer from FOMO, acutely, and if any devices are near me or going ping I’m going to react.
The only way to make sure I get writing done is to banish those devices that break into my consciouness. Music is good, music works.
