Preview: First, I will describe what discipline is and its history, second I will talk about what self-discipline is and how to build it, lastly I will touch on how habits work and how to break bad habits Body A. First, I will talk about three definitions of discipline and its history 1. What are the three types of disciplines is probably what you're wondering? a. First, it’s to regulate, order control, and authority. Think of it as the government. All of these are necessary to have a functioning government. b. Secondly, It’s used to create habits. A good example would work out every other day. Lastly self-discipline a growing trend is the practice of ignoring your impulses and doing what needs to be done 2. From readingmuseum.org.uk last accessed on October 10, 2022. Disciplinarians have been involved in many societies throughout history a.The Victorian era had disciplinarian governance over children. Schoolrooms were tough places and not everyone wanted to be there. Victorian schools were strict and the punishments were harsh. Students would be beaten if they answered questions incorrectly or if they didn't sit straight b. These schools were set up so the kids would be better by disciplining their bad actions in hope that they'll be good kids in the future. Transition: Disciplined can be defined in many terms its been used throughout history, self-discipline line is a very popular practice in this day of age. B. Second, I will inform you about self-discipline and building self discipline 1. Adam Sicinski from IQ Matrix in December, 8 2018 explains Self- discipline is about your ability to control your desires and impulses in order to keep yourself focused on what needs to get done. a. It's about taking daily consistent small actions that build into strong habits that fulfill your goal b. Doing things you don't want to do and repeatedly doing them it'll become habits over time. 2. There are three ways to learn to build discipline according to Sam Thomas Davies a. The first is self-assessment identifying the why behind what you need discipline for. Find out what's causing you to fail and learn to buffer it. Second, self-awareness is learning to understand why you don't break your bad habits. We don't have an understanding of how easy it is to give in to our urges than to stay on track answer is, to eliminate anything that will distract you. T b.Thirdly self celebrations to celebrate and reward yourself for your efforts for each win you accumulate single day. fail when you fail you have learned something new. Celebrating will make you more consistent and disciplined Transition: Self-discipline is essential when wanting to achieve a goal by practicing this it'll become a habit. C. Lastly, I will elaborate on how habits work and how to break habits 1. Ryan Bartlett from Vision Personal Training on September 21, 2021, demonstrates how habits work, there is a simple three-step pattern every habit follows a. Reminder (the thing that initiates the behavior) Routine ( the action you take ) Reward ( the benefit you gain from doing the behavior ) b. Let me show you what the 3 R's look like in real life A great example is food. We need food to survive. You get hungry that's the trigger you eat the food that's the action you take after eating it you feel good that's the reward. 1. According to Ryan Bartlett From Vision personal training habits can be broken a. First, we recognize our triggers. These happen on a day-to-day basis. some are good some are bad the trigger is something you can't control it's a part of life b. Even if you can't control your triggers you can control your actions by responding to the triggers. You can trick your brain into thinking you're doing the same thing by satisfying your needs with a new healthier habit. For example, if you're hungry instead of eating junk food to satisfy that need you can replace it with a protein shake a healthier alternative, it tastes good and it'll fill your craving. Transition: Bad habits can be broken and replaced with good habits through discipline. III. Conclusion 1. First, we discussed discipline it's meaning, its history, and we also discussed building discipline and breaking habits 2.
