Allegria Challenge - Day 8 - Discipline

Welcome to Day 8 of the Allegria Challenge!
Today's simple way to create more joy and meaning in your life is to practice discipline. I used to cringe at the word! It brought up negative feelings of restriction, rules, and parental control. But, I've learned that discipline is necessary to achieve great things. Take the root of the word, disciple and consider that you can be the disciple to your higher self. You are the boss. You get to choose and commit to something, and discipline is just the way to get want you want. A few months ago, I committed to a 30 yoga challenge. Not easy for me, as there were days that I didn't feel like getting on my mat, but with discipline, I pushed through the excuses and went anyway. At the end of the 30 days, I felt such a sense of accomplishment and inner strength. I was honoring my self and the commitment I made to me.
So today, I invite you to choose and commit to something you want. It may be as small as eating a healthy salad for lunch or getting to the gym or taking the next step on a project you are working on. Befriend discipline, and feel good about doing what it takes to have what you want! What area of your life requires discipline?
