THE BIG 'D' - DISCIPLINE

Being disciplined can be tough.  This is why I ask people to get clear on ‘WHY’ they want to make a change to their lifestyle, why they want to be REAL FIT.  Because we ARE going to be tempted.  We ARE going to be confronted by situations that make us uncomfortable, or angry, or tired.  We ARE going to feel weak and want to revert back to our old habits, it's inevitable.  

In those moments, the thing that keeps you on track, is having something bigger than the temptation. Something that reminds you of why you started all this.  Something that resonates within you and jerks you out of whatever trance you're in, thinking you can eat an entire box of doughnuts and not suffer for it later.  Mind you a 'WHY' is not "I want to be the skinniest person at work....etc", a WHY is something that elevates you to be the best you can be like, "I want to be as healthy as I can so my daughter and I can run a marathon for Leukemia in June of next year".  That thing that brings you back and reminds you of who you are and what you are trying to do.  Knowing that WHY helps you remember what you are working on achieving. And that WHY allows the DISCIPLINE to return and put you back on track.  It makes being disciplined a little easier, because once you know what you want, it's hard to be deterred.  


The word discipline has such a bad connotation to it, but really all it means is knowing what you want, and holding firm on it despite whatever the world throws at you.  We tend to get distracted from what we want amid the hustle and bustle of life.  We just need a little reminder of what is important to us, and the discipline seems to come naturally. You know how this feels. You've all been there at one time or another, when you just aren't tempted and you know what you need to do.  In those moments it's usually because you have something higher motivating you, a 'WHY'.

So, if you didn't get a chance at the beginning of our 30 days to write down your WHY.  I'm asking you to take a few minutes to do it today.  Get clear on what you want and why it is important to you.  Then, write it down, keep it close so you can see it daily and remind yourself of what's important. We all need a little reminder every now and then.  You can even post it here to make it known.  Then we can all support each other in staying true to our goals!
