Discipline
Choose a moment in your day, and a calm place, to close your eyes and mentally follow your breathing. Then share your attention between the breath and the following questions and answers.
- What does discipline mean? Find your answer without rushing. Perhaps your mind shows examples, images from your past or others that serve to illustrate what you are saying. You breathe, observe everything neutrally without attachment or judgment.
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a disciplined person? Listen to your answers, take your time, take your time, breathe and feel what you are saying mentally.
- In these last days, weeks and months, have you been able to cultivate discipline in your daily life? Yes, no and why? Remember that this exercise is not intended to be used to judge what you do or don’t do, but to consciously reflect on the topic, open perspectives, and train the ability to be present to listen to your own answers.
- What are the 3 strategies you can adopt from now on to cultivate discipline in your daily life?
What I teach in classes at this house is discipline. But it is a loving discipline, one that respects where we are at this moment in our lives, and what our needs and capabilities are. It’s a discipline that has to be a friend to help you do what you don’t want to do. It is a discipline that must be a companion to increase our confidence, self-love and determination. A discipline that cannot be rigid, but that adapts to the ability to be more friends with ourselves, to do what we know is right and that is part of our dharma. A responsible discipline, which inspires us to take the necessary steps to continue on the path we have chosen.
