Self discipline means that you control your life and what happens to you.

There are five things that you can do to help improve your self-discipline:

1. Remove temptations--many times the best way to control bad eating habits is to not bring into your home food that is not good to you. The idea being out of sight out of mind. it can also be, not going to those websites like YouTube or Facebook, that distracts you from doing your work.
2. Eat regularly and healthy--this is very important to follow because the brain needs nourishment to function properly. This is why when children are in school and come from low income families where they don't have enough to eat, schools will provide meal plans to help the child get the proper nourishment to perform at a higher level then they would with out eating meals.
3. Don't wait for it to feel right--this can lead to procrastination. this also means breaking out of your comfort zone to improve your skills. is your brain that tells you to resist change when it comes to habits, and this is wThe cycle that you need to break.
4. Schedule brakes and rewards for yourself---we are often more focused and get the work done when we schedule our time and schedule time for breaks, to rest our mind and get it off task for the moment. this is where you also learn to develop more self-control over your life.
5. Forgive yourself and move forward--this is also the hardest to do. making changes isn't easy and neither is changing bad habits, therefore, you should berate yourself just because you have fallen into an old habit even while you are making changes to your life. It takes 21 days to change a habit.
