I actually think of myself as being fairly self disciplined. I’m organized, tidy, consistent when it comes to self improvement, therapy, self care, not indulging much in alcohol or shopping.I don’t really watch TV, I don’t like going out to eat or to fast food places. I’m good about noticing when work needs done and doing it. I’m self motivated. I’m dedicated to my values even when literally no one I know agrees with me or understands my perspective. I’m not impulsive and I always think decisions through carefully. If anything I think it’s a bad trait sometimes because I can be very rigid and I don’t like my routines messed with. I’m good at resting when my body asks for it (though that one was hard won, took a nervous breakdown or two to accept that I gotta stop when my body says stop.)
On the other hand, I eat too much. I don’t really care about that one, though, because years of attempting to “discipline” my eating just lead to decades of disordered behavior and a crippling battle with body image. I have come to a point in my life where if I am fat because I eat too much ice cream – fuck it. I’m active, I eat tons of vegetables, lean protein and whole grains, I don’t have the energy to waste on worrying about much more than that.
I can’t hold a full time job. I have a really hard time even holding a part time job. That’s a big one. I’m not sure I’d say it’s a discipline issue specifically, but it still fits here.
