Discipline

Whether coming off our holiday indulgences or in anticipation of a new year, we can be disciplined about what we let into ourselves (and, I'm not talking just about food).  

Being disciplined doesn’t have to be as much about control, as it is about trust — trusting that something bigger than ourselves is at work (including in us) and that we are, therefore, not missing out by submitting to a discipline.

While it may be true that we can be more disciplined, we may also need to do it.

What If...rather than deride ourselves when we’re not disciplined (by the way, why is that such a handy thing to do?), we acknowledged when we are and then ask ourselves if that is something we want more of?
