How to develop self discipline.
According to a study done in 2013 by Wilhelm Hoffman, people with high self discipline are happier than those without. http://hofmann.socialpsychology.org
As a self discipline is a learned behavior, we need to practice it daily in our lives. To improve on your self discipline, try these proven steps for helping you get better self control. You will establish good habits and improve your control. Soon you will see improvement.
"Out of sight, out of mind" this saying is so true. Identify temptations and remove it from your life.
•Never be late. This is a great habit to begin with. Being late is because of a lack of discipline. Be on time. All the time.
•Make the commitment to yourself to be disciplined. Commitment is something you do. It's not something you have
•Did you hear about the self-control app? Install it on your PC to block sites like Facebook and YouTube, for a set period.
•Whatever you do, give it 100% of your attention. If you are not fully present, it is hard to concentrate and get anything done. Follow trough before taking on another task.
•Eat regular nutritious meals. When you are hungry, your brain is not functioning at his best, impairing your ability to concentrate. Eating often improves decision making skills and your focus. Start your day with a breakfast high in protein And eat lots of fresh food.
•Get enough rest to have your mind and body prepared for each day. Create a bedtime routine. *** (See my book on HABITS) which will help you wind down.

There are so many important life-changing habits - with which habits should you start? #HabitsThatStick
If you could choose only one or two new (beneficial) habits to create in the next couple of weeks — what would they be? If we want to progress to our goals, we need to develop good habits.
Realizing that every person is different, this is not an easy question to answer. But for all of us, the following is true - we all are held back by bad habits, and we all are propelled forward by good habits. With that in mind, check out the suggestions below, and decide which one or two habits would you start with? (There are many more! Let your mind flow)
Attempt to think positive. The most important thing you can do is to improve your thoughts. Do not allow negative thoughts to point your life's direction. Teach your brain to think positive ones instead, and you will succeed. Become more aware of your negative self-talk by writing them down throughout the day. Soon you will be more attentive, and able to change your thoughts without even noticing!
Much of our daily stress stems from finances. Keep a journal of your expenses. Track every cent spent and see where your money is going. Make the adjustments to work towards your financial goals.
Be attentive not to multi-task. You will be much more productive, have less stress, and you will get more done. Focus on one task or one goal at a time.
Live with gratitude. This simple but effective habit will shift your focus to all good around you and prevent you to be frustrated about what you don't have. This shift in perspective will allow you to replace dissatisfaction with happiness. Cultivating the habit of gratitude helps you to (re-) discover the beauty that can be found in your life. Being grateful will allow you to develop a deep appreciation even for the little things in life. More important, gratefulness will make you spend much less time in the pursuit of more.
Define your priorities. Concentrate your time and energy on the things in your life that matters most to you. Get rid of everything else. This will free space to concentrate on the important stuff to get things done. If you have too much on your plate, you will not get things done. Set specific goals and then break it up in smaller pieces where you can. Be specific and make sure that the goals are realistic and achievable
To exercise every day is one of the most important daily habits. You need not go to the gym, a brisk walk would be fine to! It will contribute to your overall health and happiness.

Begin today to eliminate the habits that are standing between you and a healthier life.
Do you feel that you are existing rather than living? We get so caught up in our daily routines, that we forget how miraculous living is. It’s easy to lose hope, and just give up.
Life is full of hope, and possibility. God wants you to live up to your full potential as being made in his image. Living a joyful life is a choice – choose wisely. When you embrace your God-given humanity, all the ordinary moments of your life will take on extraordinary significance.
Embrace your life with HOPE
Embrace the beating of your heart after a hard workout.
Seek out ways to help others.
Embrace the freedom that comes from being able to make mistakes and choices
Embrace the promising new day when the sunrise.
Embrace the aroma of coffee beans and cinnamon.
Embrace the love your pet shows when you come home

Do you know the difference between an extraordinary life and an average life?
When you live a curious life, you do not live a life that is irresponsible, but you provoke originality in your everyday live. You will think more insightfully and live a life less ordinary. Your mind will be open to suggestions, different options, as well as new ways of viewing a situation.
"I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done"
(Psalm 143:5)
When you live a curious life, you do not live a life that is irresponsible, but you provoke originality in your everyday live. You will think more insightfully and live a life less ordinary. Your mind will be open to suggestions, different options, as well as new ways of viewing a situation.
Three steps towards a more curious life:
Try to be responsible curious rather than judgmental or criticizing when new situations arise.
Learn from, and admit your mistakes. Only then, good judgment will develop.
Stop making assumptions about situations. Assumptions obstruct your view and will defeat you before you even begin.
Curiosity can be dangerous if not lived by the word of God. Curiosity for sin will lead to compromising or even in going astray such as the Prodigal Son. The young man asks his father for his inheritance, and went off to see what is in the outside world....he was soon broke with no one to help him. Curiosity led him to make poor life decisions.
Just be careful, keep this in mind while be responsible curious.
