Discipline: How to improve it

Everyone sometime calms to be very disciplined but there is a thin line in between what we can do and let go and this include me.

I was having a discussion with a friend and we spoke about discipline. He said he is very discipline and there are some things he would never allowed and I asked him, what number can you rate your discipline level between 1 to 10and he said 10.

This made me laugh because this is the same person that has always wanted to quit womanizing. He has made a lot of promise to discipline his body yet he still fall into his old habit. This has made him to lose so much money.

Womanizing is an expensive business without any profit.

Many have set rules about their life and how to improve themselves but still break those rules and the reason is because their self discipline is very low. It not like they don't have discipline, they do but it not as strong as it should be for them to live the life they want.

There are some ways in which we can improve our discipline level. I have tried this before, many other people have tried it and it has help them improve their life and daily living. They are:

Writing them down (Your rules)

Writing down goals and objective is one of the underrated method to improve self discipline. This has helped me a lot of time in many areas of my life, in my education, finance, relationship, work, habit and many other side of life. For each one there has to be a rule.

When I was planning to write my "Joint Admission Matriculation Board"(JAMB) examination. The avarage pass mark was 200 and wrote down 240 for me because one has to study very hard to get such high score. After the exam I did score 242.

Read them daily

Reading your rules daily will help you not to forget your do's and don't. It will help increse your discipline level. The people around you will know your rules without telling them, they will know your unwritten rules and regulation just from your act.

After I wrote down my studies plan for my exam, I read my rules daily and my study routine so I don't forget. I know when to read and when to sleep without anyone telling me.

This made me more discipline and it can also help you.

Putting a penalty on any broken rule.

I know it can be difficult to put a penalty on oneself but that's were your friend or mentor comes in. You can't improve on yourself alone without the help of others. We are made for each other and we learn everyday and this is what make us different from other animals. We make mistaken and learn from our mistake.

Once we know there is a penalty for breaking a rule, it will make it a little bit difficult for us to break those rules. Make sure the penalty befits the rules, something that will be a hard on you. Anytime and I make a data subscription and it finish without me achieving anything with it. I go to my settings and check what I use most of my data on, if its video and gaming, or social media.

I would freeze those app for the next data subscription and I wont unfreeze them until the subscription is exhausted. Also you can ask help from friends to help you enact those penalties.

With all this, be prepared for a life of change if you are ready to follow the rules strictly.
