How Self-Discipline
Benefits Your
Health & Fitness
Wendy Bottrell
http://wendybottrell.com
We are discussing self-discipline this month and now
more than ever we feel it is an important topic for your
health and fitness.
Hopefully, self-discipline is something you learned as a kid
growing up. We believe that self-discipline is one of the
most vital skills you were taught.
If you have learned this lesson, you’ll reap the benefits
your entire life by reaching for and meeting your goals
more easily.
http://wendybottrell.com
Here are some of the benefits of a self-disciplined life:
1. You Won’t Be Impulsive
When you are able to control your own impulses, you tend
to make much better decisions because you’re willing to
stop and think before doing so. That means you’ll have
fewer things to be sorry about when it comes to your
health and fitness. You won’t skip your workouts; you
won’t quit because you don’t see immediate results; you
will make better food choices and you will get things done
because you won’t create unneeded drama caused by
impulsiveness.
http://wendybottrell.com
2. You Know Your Priorities
A self-disciplined person is very aware of the priorities
they have each day. They are prepared and look over
everything in plenty of time to arrange their day to meet
those priorities.
We believe this makes life way less stressful because
discipline helps you to stay on track and practice creating
powerful habits.
http://wendybottrell.com
3. You Will Meet Your Obligations or Goals
Let’s be clear. Meeting obligations and your goals feel
good. It’s not a downer or a drag on your life. When you
follow through and do something for your health and
fitness (or life) that is important, it feels good, and you
want to do it again.
http://wendybottrell.com
4. Reduces Procrastination
Procrastination is really a symptom of a larger problem -
usually a lack of clarity in goals or a lack of confidence in
skills, imposter syndrome, or fear of success. When you
have self-discipline, you achieve your desired outcomes
because of the clarity in knowing what you must do for
your day. Be it making the desired food choices for your
long-term goals, getting in the workout for the day.
http://wendybottrell.com
5. You Don’t Need Passion to Finish Projects
One of the biggest myths of life is that you should work or
do things when you feel like it. When passion strikes it is
the time to work out according to many.
However, this is not a good plan. You’re not going to feel
passion every single day. When you have self-discipline,
you tend to get it done regardless of your thoughts and
feelings. This is what I have experienced and the thing I
know for sure is once I get that workout done, I feel good
for two reasons: 1. I didn’t let myself down and 2. I
achieved my goal for the day and this practice helps me
get closer to the bigger long-term fitness and health goals
I have planned.
http://wendybottrell.com
6. You’ll Be Much Healthier
If you follow the ideas we have already shared then your
health and fitness will move forward no matter what. Due
to not eating everything you see, not avoiding exercise,
and working hard instead of avoiding the work (which is
actually stressful), you’re going to be much healthier.
You’ll feel better physically and mentally because you’re
making better choices.
http://wendybottrell.com
7. You’ll Sleep Better
We shared the importance of sleep last month. When you
get up at the same time each day, go to bed at the same
time each night, and eat right most days - as well as do
what you say you’ll do - you’ll sleep a lot better every
night.
http://wendybottrell.com
8. You’ll Feel Less Guilt
When you follow through in life - whether it’s something
you promised to yourself or someone else, you feel less
guilt. You won’t have any reason to feel guilty due to your
good choices.
I feel this is one of the biggest issues we face today. We
don’t practice the follow-through. By not doing the things
you tell yourself it simply sets up bad thoughts.
