#AskSwell - Are you disciplined? Do you have self control?

What did you do to become disciplined or more disciplined? Or what did you do to become to have self control? And if the answer to those questions were no, do you want to become more disciplined and have more self control? So I'm going to put my reply down and make a comment and do my reply. But this is a question. And again, there are no wrong answers, right? It's just however you feel, this is a personal question

You. So I thought about this question because I was talking to God about some stuff just in my life, and basically I believe god told me that I wasn't as disciplined as I should be and that I am lacking self self control in certain areas

My life is good. But it could be better if I had more discipline, because sometimes I just snap off, and I really shouldn't. I mean, they deserve it when I do snap off and yell. But if I could become more disciplined, I don't think that would be what I would do. I like this question because it makes you self reflect. So yeah. Thank you so much

Yeah, I learned how to be able to control that eating habits. You know, for me, I'm very sensitive to salt with, like, pretzels or potato chips and doritos, all of which I like. But I got to be very careful with that, even when it comes to simply just things like going to work, being able to get up that's discipline

I'm going to walk away from it. There's people at my job that are like that. Everything is negative. I just don't want to be bothered. I dismiss it. I don't have time for it. So when it comes to being around positive people, that's a really good feeling when you're around people that you genuinely like. And that's about doing positive things, meditating, praying, constantly, asking for forgiveness, and just an ongoing desire to do better

Or your older brother or guys up the road saying, I dare you to cry. You better not cry. Give me something to cry about. So you learned how to hold your peace. And it was important, and it was more important for some of us than others. Not that we had problems, but our parents and our friends and our aunts knew that some of us are going to appear a little more threatening than others. And cops don't got time to start pulling birth certificates

I want them to feel comfortable and understand that somebody's here always here to help. If I'm there, somebody's there to help. But it takes a lot of tap dancing and a lot of other stuff to be able to sit in that. And sometimes laugh at jokes that ain't funny and allow people to tell you things that you already know, because it makes them feel superior to you when they're teaching you something. So that way you can just go get along

It so quickly. You never know what someone's thinking. Thank God. You can't get locked up for thinking, or I'll be under the jail or what they're going through, because most times I'm boiling right beneath the surface. And a lot of people, when you choose to use words that hurt or the feelings that I had to deal with working in that jail, I would take those feelings home and kill myself with them for days

Of course, I work every day. I make sure that I do work every single day. I'm disciplined in the area of working out. I get to the gym. I didn't get to the gym today because I had to do something else that I'm going to make a swell about tomorrow. But I make sure I get to the gym every week. At least three days a week, I go to the gym

You. Thank you for inviting me to this. Well, I'm a little late. I had a rough week. But I like this topic, and for the most part in my life, I am disciplined. It actually it started at a very early age. I grew up with a very disciplined routine, and it's comical because we were late for everything, but when it came to anything else in life, it had to be done a certain way. So it started early for me
