Self Discipline and how it can become your 1# enemy
As I begin this prompt, I want to emphasize that I am a human who is still learning how the world functions today. There are many things I don't know. So without further ado, let's begin. This prompt in no way, shape, or form is a "diss" on discipline. In fact to start this article I want to talk about how discipline can truly help you become a "better" you. In more developed countries, convenience can be a demon. When you've worked hard for your money, it's only natural to want to take advantage of the comfort convenience can provide. I guess you could say that this article is all about first-world problems. However, first-world countries heavily influence how things work in third-world countries and why some places are in an unending cycle of poverty. But I digress, that is a conversation for another day. So in certain circumstances discipline is our saving grace. To get out of a "slump" or to achieve your goals, you need to discipline yourself and gradually build habits. Even though it can be super tiring in the end it gets you where you want, or need, to be. For example, if your body starts to feel heavy, tired, and slow, you might look towards heading to a gym or doing at-home workouts. After becoming more consistent not only do you not feel as out of shape but your muscles may start toning out as well. It starts to become part of your daily routine to work out. To maintain your new body, you start eating healthily and making conscious decisions about what you are putting inside yourself, by eating less take-out and junk food. Rather than eliminating it from your diet, you include it in moderation. And when you don't, you don't feel as good as you usually do.
