Self-discipline can be considered a type of selective training, creating new habits of thought, action and speech toward improving yourself and reaching goals. Self-discipline can also be task oriented and selective. View self-discipline as a positive effort rather than one of denial.
If you need assistance in creating mental, physical and emotional health in your life, consider working with a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It is a proven type of therapy that focuses on helping people change their behavior and thoughts to positively affect their mental, physical and emotional health.
