This Week's Reflection

 

You've often heard me talk about the necessity of discipline. And you might have got the impression that that requires that we be hard on ourselves, push ourselves.

 

At least in part, this perspective on discipline comes from a belief - and we all know that beliefs are just dearly cherised thoughs! - that we're undisciplined. And, of course, if we're coming from a place of being "normal crazy", we'd have plenty of apparent evidence for our perceived indiscipline!

 

All that is now in the past. And, as this week's podcast and video explain, that past has nothing to do with you - you're not the person who couldn't stick to what you thought was a necessary action plan to achieve your goals - a "plan" that you now know wasn't necessary at all!

 

If planning is unnecessary (and we've talked plenty about that before) and if the apparent "evidence" of your past indiscipline is a thought-created fabrication, you'll understand that the discipline I'm talking about is all about being easy on yourself, in the understanding that you (all of us) have to do the little it takes to transform how you see yourself and your world.

 

Not only do we need to go easy on ourselves, chill a little and lighten up, we need to pat ourselves on the back too. And, even if you think that you've not much to pat yourself on the back about, pat yourself on the back for reading this far, this morning!
