Musings and affirmations: Self-discipline

 

“Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.

There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s

going to be

forward, backward, or sideways.” 

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 

 

Affirmation: I have all the self-discipline I need today.


I can easily focus on what matters most to me. I know that the things that I care about are important enough to devote my energy to them. And they are each deserving of the best that I can give to them. Therefore, I have all the self-discipline I need today.

When I begin working, my attention hardly wavers until the work is done. When I start a new project, I visualize the goal in my mind. Then, I doggedly and determinedly pursue that end until the project is complete.

My persistence applies to more than my career and personal projects. I am also committed to healthy living. I have all the self-discipline I need to make healthy food choices and to stay physically active today. Exercising regularly comes naturally to me, and I enjoy eating balanced meals!

Admittedly, the world is full of interesting distractions. Sometimes, I find myself following an unintended path. But I can always correct my course and bring my energy back toward what matters most to me. And once I have returned to my desired path, I can remain focused.

Restraint and purpose both serve me well as I pursue my goals.

Today,  I choose to act in ways that support my highest vision of myself.

I elect to refrain from behaviors that are detrimental to my hopes and dreams.

Today, I am brimming with self-discipline.

I can easily put my energies toward my desired ends.

And I commit myself to practicing this in new ways every day.

 

Homework/ Self-Reflective Questions/ Journal Prompts: 

1. What are some of my primary short-term goals (six months to one year)?

2. What are some of my longer-term objectives (one to five years)?

3. What small actions can I take today that will support every one of my goals?

 

Be outstanding!!!

See you next week!
