​Steps to Self-Discipline

​Self-discipline is defined as an ability to take control of yourself particularly your behavior, emotions and impulses from committing thoughtless and irrational behavior. It usually results in unpleasant and negative experiences. It takes time to develop self-discipline and it requires certain level of awareness to fully understand how it works.

​

One important thing that you must learn is how to control your emotions in dealing with different situations in your family and even in your community. Self-discipline could mean being on top of your emotions and the best way to do it is to learn them first.

​Steps to Self-Discipline

Most of the time, emotions direct people’s actions or behavior. For instance, if you are happy, you tend to smile, do simple acts of celebration, or even talk to your family or friends about it. When you are sad, you tend to isolate yourself from people, you don’t have energy to continue your daily tasks, or even keep yourself in silence. Humans react based on how we feel. Managing emotion is a good skill which forms part of self-discipline

​Pointers to manage your emotions well:

1. Recognize your emotions.

​2. The next thing to do is to name your emotion

​3. Describe the intensity of your emotion.

​4. Try to understand what your emotion is telling you as it gives you clues or messages.

​5. Take time to be with your emotion and try not to make it cloud your ideas.

​Recognize your emotions.

​Be mindful how you feel on a certain situation. For instance, whenever thoughts about school work come to mind, how do you feel about it? It is important for you to differentiate your thoughts from emotions. Thoughts are usually ideas while emotions are feelings. Know that there are positive and negative emotions and both are normal part of your life.

The next thing to do is to name your emotion

Whenever there is a situation at home or even in the community, can you name your feelings? With the current crisis, what do you feel? With the distance-learning modality, what feelings best describe you now? You may say “I feel… happy, sad, angry, excited, scared, anxious, etc.”

Describe the intensity of your emotion.

It is important to know how your emotion looks like or sound like? Some say that we are not supposed to make decisions at the height of our emotions. For instance, when you are too happy and somebody asks you a favor, you tend to say “yes” easily without thinking of the consequences.

​

​

Try to understand what your emotion is telling you as it gives you clues or messages.

Appreciate how and why you felt it and if it needs certain actions. For instance, if you feel angry, do you need to act on it? Or can you just feel and let it go after?

Take time to be with your emotion and try not to make it cloud your ideas.

Remember, your thoughts and feelings are two different things though they are interconnected.
