Being more disciplined also has to do with being responsible and being more aware. These days I’m beginning to see a connection between how my body feels and how that affects my mood. When I’m tired or stressed, I’m more prone to being in a bad mood, and when I’m in a bad mood, I can let things slide. It has a domino effect. If I want to be more disciplined, I’ll have to check myself and make some things more like mechanical processes so that I can get to doing them because they need to be done regardless of what I’m feeling. I’ll also have to admit to myself that I’m tired or hungry or whatever and then do something about it so that it doesn’t affect my moods too much.

I’m not sure if that makes perfect sense, now that I’ve written it down. Hehe. Bottomline is that being disciplined is so many things meshed together; if I want to really tick this goal off my list, I’m going to step it up and improve on other areas of my life as well.
