Discipline

Discipline is a decision.  I read that today and it kind of hit me.  I've been trying to take better care of my health.  Mom's weirdness and schedule interrupts on nearly a daily basis, but I've been doing my best to stay on track.

I woke up hungry this morning, but drank my bottle of water. I'm still hungry but staying committed to my fasting schedule.  Trying to distract myself with a book (Women's Murder Club series by Patterson) 

Then I read that line.  Discipline is a decision.   And its not an easy one!  When I think of discipline, I think back to raising kids. When they do something wrong, there's discipline.  Not always easy, but necessary.

Which is why its not always easy for us as adults, either.  We need to make the decision for disciplining our selves, in order to live our best life.  That's going to be a conversation with my mother - because if I don't take care of myself, I may not be able to take care of her.
