3 Kinds of Habits to Master the Art of Self-discipline

You can do many different kinds of self-discipline exercises, but until you habitualize them, they will be of little value. The moment your attention and focus will wither, your self-discipline will disappear with them.

Habits constitute who you are. Yu need to make self-discipline a part of yourself to master it. You need relevant habits.

1. Speech habits.

Governing your tongue is governing yourself. If you blurt out something without thinking, it’s a sign that self-discipline is foreign for you.

You need to get a grip over your self-talk. It will make easier to manage your speech patterns when interacting with others, but it will also become a significant introduction to govern your mind.

Habits that will help:

-meditation; it makes you self-aware especially about your inner chatter

-free-style journaling; it reveals your internal voice and your speech patterns

-introducing specific vocabulary to your utterances; try using a new word 10 times in one day; try saying 100 times a day “thank you” or “yes”; track how many times you say a specific curse and in the following days eliminate it from your vocabulary
