Discipline is freedom. You may disagree with this statement, and if you do you are certainly not alone.
For many people discipline is a dirty word that is equated with the absence of freedom.
In fact the opposite is true. As Stephen R. Covey once wrote, the undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites and passions.
And in the longer term, the undisciplined lack the freedom that comes with possessing particular skills and abilities - e.g. to play a musical instrument or speak a foreign language.
Self-discipline involves acting according to what you think instead of how you feel in the moment.
Often it involves sacrificing the pleasure and thrill of the moment for what matters most in life. Therefore it is self-discipline that drives you to:
- Work on an idea or project after the initial rush of enthusiasm has faded away
- Go to the gym when all you want to do is lie on the couch and watch TV
- Wake early to work on yourself
- Say no when tempted to break your diet
- Only check your email a few of times per day at particular times
If you struggle with self-discipline, the good news is that it can be developed. Here are five traits of self-discipline.

The way you think has the ability to turn your deepest desires into reality or, alternatively, keep you chained to mediocrity.
This article looks at eight patterns of limited thinking [positive thinking].
Breaking these patterns of limited, habitual thought will free you to realize your full potential in life.
1. Over generalization
This pattern is characterized by broad, general conclusions based on a single incident or piece of evidence.
Over generalization often takes the form of absolute statements and uses words such as all, every, none, never, always, everybody and nobody.
For example, if you read too many personal development articles you may believe all television is a waste of time.
You can stop thinking in absolutes by using words such as may, sometimes, most and often. Saying some, or even most, television is a waste of time is far easier to take seriously than simply saying all of it is.
2. Polarized Thinking
This is black-and-white thinking, with no room for shades of gray. People and things become either good or bad, smart or stupid, brave or cowardly.
Fight the urge to make black-and-white judgments by accepting people and things are too complex to be reduced to either/ or judgments. This is especially important in regards to judging yourself. Allow yourself some room to make mistakes without automatically labeling yourself a failure.
