Discipline Me

I suck at discipline. It doesn't come naturally to me. I am not someone who likes to be disciplined for the sake of being disciplined.

Except ... I do! I like the feeling of peace I get when I'm on top of my game. And I like the getting stuff done part. And I like moving slowly, rather than last minute rushing. Discipline allows that.

Something I have discovered about myself: I can form habits. Useful habits that make me happy. For example, I have somehow developed the habit of keeping the bathroom picked up - pretty much all the time. I have all my things exactly in the same places and when I'm finished with my routine, everything is back where it should be - behind closed drawers or doors. And, it doesn't feel like work.

So, I know it can be done. I just need to do that with about a jillion other things!!

Discipline, even though it is tough and feels a little sucky to me, it's worth it. Because I end up having to spend less time doing stuff I don't like.
