A More Self-Disciplined Life in 6 Steps - 31 Days to Clean by Sarah Mae ~ Day 19

Self Discipline is defined as "the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it."

I think we all strive to have more self discipline in our lives. 

Galations 5:22-23 (NIV)  says "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." 

Self discipline or self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit that God, if we allow Him, is trying to develop in us. 

Today, Sarah Mae lists out 6 tips that will help us to cultivate self discipline in our lives. 

  1. Commitment 
  2. Set and Complete Goals
  3. Do What You Say You Will Do
  4. Learn to Say "No."
  5. Practice
  6. Don't Give Up!
I can see how these are relevant to every area of my life, not just the house keeping aspect that we all struggle with, which ever area in your life that you are needing more self discipline in, commit to applying these steps and start to see your life change. I can tell you that it will!

Cleaning assignment for today is to clean out and organize that medicine cabinets in the bathrooms.
