your control by making simple

Improved self-discipline will allow
you to live a freer life by helping
you make healthy choices, not
emotional ones.
1. Remove temptations
Self-discipline is easiest when abiding
to the old saying ‘out of sight, out of
mind’. Remove all temptations and
distractions, eg:
Mobile phone – switch it off or do
not answer it for an hour a day
(Your Time)
Junk food – don’t buy it or store it
in your house/work. Have a 1-week
period free of burger/pizza etc. then
do it for a month, you will find you
don’t need junk food!
2. Eat regularly, healthily
and drink water
When you are hungry your ability to
concentrate suffers. Allow your brain
to focus on your goals vs your growing
hunger urges.
3. Don’t wait for it to feel right
Action creates motivation. Just do it!
4. Schedule breaks, treats
and rewards
Self discipline can be hard, reward
your effort through moderation.
If you achieve a goal, treat yourself!
