The Benefits of Living A Disciplined Life and What That Means

By Bert Astacio

A disciplined life is not necessarily a boring life or a life of just depriving pleasure from oneself.

At its core it’s a very self loving thing to be disciplined. It means I care about my life so much that I have decided to work with my behaviors in a way to limit choices that are not good for me and take on habits that are. I care about myself and my purpose so much that I know I can’t partake with every thought or pleasure and keep myself living a really good life. So whether that’s abstaining from a drink, having sex, doing that shady business deal, or saying unthoughtful things, it’s all the same.

Can I muster enough self control to handle myself well in this moment or am I going to just let go of the steering wheel of my life?

If I do the former I gain self love and confidence. If I do the latter, no matter how it appears, I have Demi shed my power over myself in my life. So now what happens in the next moment is I don’t have the confidence to stand and complete my mission my purpose.

Some might say we don’t have a purpose and I will not argue with them because I’ll be too busy showing that what that looks like by living mine.

It doesn’t take much effort to just give in to yourself when you are tempted. It doesn’t take any self control or reflection and therefore there’s also a consequence for that. You won’t feel good or fulfilled in life and therefore you’ll always be looking to fill that void with giving in to the moment. Yes it’s hard to be discipline but it’s also fulfilling and that’s where you will find your value. Nothing of value won’t be hard.

If I was going to give one but if advise it would be to follow what’s hard but do it in an easy way. Surrender to it understand why you’re doing it and realize you are giving yourself and your life the best chance.

Start small and if you need help book a short call.

Much love, Bert.
