1 Respect yourself and fill your mind with positive information.
Self discipline involves self respect. A
human body is created with great mastery
and you will know when something is o
balance. Understand your body messages
and treat it well. Exercise or do meditation
to get the balance of mind and body. Also,
you must nurture your mind by soaking it
with positive and engaging information.
Read books, engage in meaningful
discussions, avoid negative conversations and people, and listen to
soothing, joyful and boosting music rather than watching television
and lling your mind with all the negativity and commercialism.
It is essential to feel connected to something greater than you. By
meditation, praying or spending time with nature you can connect
with the Almighty. It helps in making decisions for greater good
and not just for something that feels good in that moment.

yourself. When you treat your body well, it helps you in reaching
