Some of the toughest battles you ever face are inside yourself.
This is especially true when speaking about self-accountability and self-discipline.
How do you master self-control and become your best self?
Let’s take a look…
1) Know yourself
If you try to force yourself to be disciplined without self-awareness, it’s likely to backfire and not work well at all.
It’s crucial to have self-knowledge if you want to have self-discipline.
This means that you need to have a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses.
For example, maybe you have the following strengths: punctual, hardworking, good at math and honest.
But you have the following weaknesses: you’re a poor communicator, you watch too much TV and you are bad at saving money.
Taking these things into account, you can begin to work on more discipline with your spending, take courses or read books to improve your communication skills and cut down on TV time using your math skills to work out the ideal balance for your schedule.
When you know your weaknesses and your strengths, you can better identify where to focus your self-discipline efforts.
