How do I learn to be disciplined? It seems impossible!?

Question

How do I learn self-discipline if I have NO self-discipline? I have so many good goals but I can't seem to make myself even go to bed at decent hour or take my multi-vitamin every day let alone accomplish the bigger things. It seems like I would need to have self-discipline in order to teach myself to be disciplined! Help! I'm open to suggestions.

Answer 1

You will be as you so choose. What you do is a choice; when you are truly ready to be more "self-disciplined" you will do whatever you have to, to attain the goal  

Answer 2

join the military they got some real good coaches in boot camp.

Answer 3

Leaving aside the head-on-pavement technique and the spiritual advice, there is no easy solution.

Possible solution 1: You force yourself to do something until it becomes routine and you don't even need to exercise self-dicipline to do it.

Possible solution 2: Find something positive about what you have to do - so with the vitamins, take them in the morning, which allows you to stay in bed 5 minutes longer in turn.

Possible solution 3: Find a reason to do it - without this sounding strange, being in a relationship has given me the drive to be a better person in some ways, which in turn gives me the energy to do it.

I hope that kinda helps, but I just wanted to say that you're not alone with that problem. :)

Best of luck!  

Answer 4

To become self disciplined; one has to ensure that he uses the acts and activities of the actions of the world to discipline his self and not the mind of his self.

Close the mind of self to I HAVE TO; I WANT TO; I WISH TO; OR I DESIRE FOR; and instead open it to, and focus it upon that person place or thing outside; whose mind and spirit you can ffaithfully know and fearlessly follow as the knowledge, inspirations and wisdom of self; and can devote your self for guiding, motivating and driving the self to perform actions of self. IN YOUR CASE PERHAPS THE BLESSINGS OF GOD FROM A BLESSED ONE AND THE GRACEFULLNESS OF GOD FROM THE GRACE OF GOODNESS, VICTORY, GLORY, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM A DEVOTED ONE CAN HELP YOU.
