Self-Discipline
Mar. 6th, 2006 01:48 pmI was having dinner with ReneƩ the other night and I was doing some of my usual griping. You know, I'm out of shape, overweight, and probably on the path to a massive heart attack. She said that I had discipline, but not in the areas that I seem to be concerned about.
That really got me thinking. In a lot of ways, I don't have self-discipline. That's pretty obvious from my bankruptcy (which I'm now a little more disciplined with my money), my weight, and my current career path. I shouldn't be eating the way I usually do, I should be getting to the gym more, and I should've been on my career path YEARS ago.
I've been doing some reading about self-discipline, and as corny as they sound, I hope that it's a concept that starts to really stick with me. You know. Like only having three or four drinks at a party instead of 10 or 12. Having a small Whole Foods pizza instead of an extra large Papa Murphy's. Getting to the gym more often despite how I'm feeling.
So yes. We'll see how this goes. :)
