This document discusses the differences between self-control and self-discipline. Self-control involves resisting immediate urges and gratification in favor of longer term goals, like choosing vegetables over sweets. Self-discipline requires consistency and planning, doing what needs to be done even if unmotivated. While self-control deals with short term desires, self-discipline focuses on long term accomplishments and responsibilities. Both are important for personal and academic success, but applying the right one to each situation is key.

3. Self-Control
Vs.
Self-Discipline

4. Are Self-control and self-discipline
the same?

5. Give an example of Self-control and
self-discipline

6. "DECIDING TO stop eating sweets and to start
eating vegetables are separate psychological
functions.
The first takes self-control. The second takes self-
discipline. You can easily succeed at one and fail
at the other. They aren't the same process!
Dr. Julia-Marie O'Brien

7. How do you think Self-control and
self-discipline relates to you personal
and school life

8. Self-control is discipline in the face of pressure from
an immediate urge, desire or compulsion.
Self-control relates to delaying immediate
gratification of the senses.
Its struggle is the conflict between intellectual
knowing and emotional desiring.
It is the decision between physical and psychological
enjoyment now vs. the hope or expectation of
something better later.

9. Self-discipline asks us to wake up and get up. Self-
control keeps us from hitting the snooze button. Self-
discipline says we should do something, even when we
don't feel like it.
It expects consistency and planning where irregularity is
more fun.
It wants us to meet deadlines, to produce something, to
accept responsibility.

10. Self-Control deals with the short term.
Self-Discipline with the long term.

11. A lack of self-control can keep us from
exercising discipline through self-sabotage.
A lack of self-discipline can thwart our
efforts at self-control through inconsistency
and periodic enforcement of the intended
discipline.

12. Self-control works on a more primal level
than self-discipline.
It often relates to eating, smoking, alcohol
consumption, and other physical pleasures
that give temporary psychological comfort.

13. Self-discipline is a higher level application.
It usually relates to accomplishments, forward
looking plans, and hopes for prosperity and
success.
It relates to getting to work on time, and
following academic or employment regulations.
It urges us to forgo some of our current
activities for more rewarding ones later.

14. Don't set yourself up for failure.
Don't force unrealistic discipline on areas
of your life where some compassion and
self-acceptance would help.

15. Also, build your ability to enforce self-
discipline in your life.
Differentiate between areas where you need
discipline and areas you don't.
