Reframing Discipline

As someone who has struggled with discipline in many areas of my own life, I know there are so many others who are working to flip the switch in their brain so that they can align themselves with their desired reality with less resistance.

I used to look at discipline as denial… Denying myself the pleasures that I desired and denying myself the freedom to do what I wanted. My system resisted the idea of doing things that I did not want to do, so I asked myself “how do I shift so that these are things I desire to do?”

I had to start to look at discipline as freedom. Being disciplined created more structure and predictability in my experience which started to free me from worry. Discipline freed me from so much anxiety around “what was going to happen”. Discipline put the choice in my hands, which freed me from the control of my impulses. 

I could go on all day but y'all get it. I challenge you to look at the areas of your life where you have had trouble exercising discipline and ask yourself “how could discipline actually create more freedom for me here?"

I pray this helps someone today!
