What Are You Disciplined To?

It's the first day of school here in Wisconsin. With the start of a new school year, my mind shifts toward getting back to a routine, a schedule. I look at it in a similar way to how we look at the new year when it rolls around. It's a time to look at life and consider what tasks need attention, what has been let go over the summer months, and how I want the year to proceed. It's time to hunker down, get more serious and to get more disciplined. 

As I look at getting "more disciplined" I like to remind myself of something I learned a few years ago (I can't remember who said it), it goes like this...The question is not whether we are disciplined, we are all disciplined. The question is, what are you disciplined to? This hit home for me. It's true isn't it? We are all disciplined, it's just what are we disciplined to that's the question. 


Well, that was powerful realization for me. At times I've considered myself to not be a disciplined person. This simple shift gave me a whole new perspective. I am disciplined, it’s not a matter of me being disciplined, it’s more a matter of what I am disciplined to. These simple little perspective shifts can be super impactful. They cause us to look at something from a different point of view, a little bit different angle, and sometimes that’s all we need in order to catch ourselves and to create a shift.

Am I disciplined to watching TV or am I disciplined or to exercising? Am I disciplined to social media or am I disciplined to visiting with a friend? Am I disciplined to eating out or am I disciplined to planning and making meals? Am I disciplined to reading the news or to reading a book?


This week I invite you to reflect on what it is you are disciplined to and whether those items are serving you. Do you desire to create a shift and discipline yourself toward something different? Something that might bring more positivity, passion, meaning, or impact? 

​Fall is a great time of year to let go of the things that aren't serving you and say yes to a new discipline. Shake up your routine and blend in some new disciplines!

I was raised by a very strict parents. Growing up was quite challenging for me without realizing it. Every move that I make should be known by my parents. I can definitely say that I was disciplined and restricted to do things that aren't according to my parents' principles. Some people might say that I wasn't able to maximize my childhood, but my strict parents raised me really well. For that, I couldn't be more thankful. The values they taught me are so applicable with the life that I live right now!
