After a hectic year, it’s finally time for us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the holidays that are just around the corner. We deserve to really enjoy this period – but students, let’s not forget, that given freedom (and excessive availability of time), we should exercise responsibility.
During the school term, what goes through your mind when you are racing against time trying to finish an assignment or any other piece of work? Does your mind voice say something like, “Oh, if only I had started a bit earlier”? For most of us, it is only at the last minute that we realise we should have started preparatory work (be it for our examinations, projects etc.) earlier. So what is the secret ingredient needed here? Well, we all are not strangers to the term – discipline!
Do you believe that this word can revolutionize your life? Yes, it can and we’ll tell you how.
What is discipline?
Let’s start off by explaining what ‘discipline’ actually is. This would make a lot of its benefits quite obvious. To put it plainly, discipline is nothing but doing things in an organized and responsible manner. It means behaving responsibly, meeting deadlines, charting out strategies for meeting deadlines and following them in a committed manner. This is without getting lazy or complacent, and giving one hundred percent focus on the task to be done.
Do you have too much of a workload?
Do you feel overwhelmed by your workload from school? Is it because you actually have too much to do? Or is there something that you might be missing?
In many cases, we end up feeling that we have too much to do because we do not follow a systematic method of getting things done. We need to organize and prioritize our to-do lists before we jump in and start to work on things. That will surely help you decrease the burden on your shoulders by making you do stuff in a more efficient manner. This is exactly the kind of traits that discipline can bring to your life. So if you take a look around and find people who are disciplined enjoying significantly fewer workloads, then don’t be surprised.
Take out the stress
What happens when every other day of the week you are scrambling to meet deadlines for submissions or trying to get some important work done? Yes, that’s surely going to bring in a lot of stress that you can really do without.
Imagine what will happen if you go about doing your work at bite-size pieces at a time in a regular, ‘disciplined’ fashion. You should be able to keep your deadlines without having to stress out at the last minute. You might even be able to finish your work well before your deadlines. Now isn’t that something that we would all like?
It makes you more healthy
How does being disciplined make you healthy? Just remind yourself about all the stress that gets taken away when you become disciplined. Yes, you would have a better sense of mental well-being which would also translate into better prospects for the other dimensions of your health. Being disciplined means that you would not be tempted to sacrifice your sleep or meals for any work that is pending. This is because you would be able to complete your tasks without all that struggle of having too many things to do, with too little time to do them.
Puts you in the driver’s seat
It does not feel good if you are not the driver of your own life’s situations. Discipline gives you more control over everything that goes on. How much would that boost your confidence? The knowledge that you are capable of managing things on your own and doing a good job at it would instil confidence that can stay with you for a lifetime. Take a look at all the great leaders of the world such as Gandhi or Obama. We would notice the amount of discipline that they practice and easily be able to identify the confidence and other benefits that they have derived from it.
Enjoy your life
Life isn’t just about completing tasks right? There’s a whole list of other activities that we should be doing – meeting friends, watching our favourite movies, going out on trips, etc. Being disciplined helps you get more things done and gives you better time management. So isn’t that enough incentive to be disciplined?
Yes, we know that some of you might be feeling that mastering all this discipline is going to be asking too much. But, let us remind ourselves that it is not that tough and that all we need is a bit of practice. Sure, there’ll be a few hiccups along the way, but do remember that with a bit of effort, you will definitely be able to reap some stunning and remarkable benefits! 😊
