Self Discipline

How is yours?

• Here's an exercise - draw a circle, draw a line down the middle, then across the middle so it is in quarters, continue to divide into smaller wedges.  End picture looks like a wheel with lots of spokes.  Now colour in portions for the time you sleep, work, rest, play, food prep. shopping etc.
• Note - play = cooking, crafts, gardening, walking, swimming, cycling etc.

From your coloured in graph you will see how your day is divided up and how much time you spend on any one activity.  Is there an area you need to work on, to be more self-disciplined about?

Health and well being is not just about food nourishment, it includes our mental, physical and spiritual aspects of life too.  Are you an over thinker, a worrier?  Do you sleep well, take exercise, moderate your alcohol consumption and food indulgences?  Do you allow time to 'stand and stare' or 'sit and watch' or do nothing in particular?  Has your life become routine, boring, predictable?  Do you need to do something new or different?  How much do you value yourself?

These are some of the questions we can all ask ourselves from time to time, a sort of self development step every two or three months.  Take 10 minutes now and try it.  You may be surprised what you find.
