That's really intriguing.
I wonder...if I had enough discipline to do karate here at home [even though there isn't much space], would I gain enough self discipline to do something useful for once?

I've found good sleep music:

I have more drive to do things and feel more focused and satisfied in myself.
When undisciplined I fall apart too, as I have for the past 9 or so months.


That sounds like me. 8O :(
Maybe I need to be more organized...

I drink because I have no direction so I may as well drink.
It's the same as "I have all day to do this so I won't bother doing it."
If I allot one hour to do something specific between 3pm and 4pm, I get it done.

I'm sort of lazily manifesting discipline today. My dad wanted me to sell all my bikes, that did not go over well. :evil:

Thus, heavy duty green stuff. Nothing else for it.

'Garage space' was all I really heard, sure it's a lot of bikes but it's not like even 10-12 are keeping a car out of there, that's just all the junk.

I need a VW bus.

^ I have one of mine that winches up to the ceiling when not in use (The schwinn hybrid).
I used to keep the Raleigh in the laundry for quick getaways.

Morning all.

Raleigh that landscape is kickass!
And you've not been murdered, which meh, pretty good I guess.

Self discipline is extremely important.
I remember the day I learnt it, I think. Dad taught me to ride a bike by locking me out the house and saying I couldn't come in until I could do it.
Kind of a dick move on his part. I was only little, I thought I'd be outside forever.
Taught me that you can cry and want to give up, but in the end you just have to get on with s**t.
If you want something, you have to work; if you have to do something, just f*****g get on with it, because you can't count on anyone else to help, or the thing to go away.
I credit the majority of my self-discipline to that and similar incidents. The rest to autism.

There is an immense satisfaction to getting things done, especially if you have to put aside hurt to get there.
I don't think it's a cure for addiction though, in my case. On the contrary, I find it quite addictive.
Hence, I can burn my legs out until I cry doing barre, and still keep going.
The discipline is sweeter for the pain.

Went on a total tangent there. :roll:

Point is, yes Kura, karate at home would be a brilliant idea. I think you'd feel a thousand times better if you could add that back into your life.
Remember, the hardest part is showing up to do it. Clearing a space in your house, putting on a gi or whatever.
Just taking that one step that turns intention into action.
Then you'll be doing it, and you'll feel good.
Every time you do something like that, take time to be in the moment, to thank yourself for being there.
It feels good. Every single day. The fact that you've shown up to do something, you've had the discipline to give that gift to yourself. It always feels good.

I am sorry about your mother, cathylynn.
Crumbling may be part of the grief process for your younger sisters. The main thing is that you support each other through this, and it sounds like you are.
Love to you all.

Sorry I won't be haunting you.
Yet.

Good almost-afternoon, everyone.

I'm going to go to the park today and ride my scooter.
