Discipline module

This module will concentrate on the idea that discipline is necessary to provoke change in one's life. Discipline is internal and cannot be bought therefore finding inner energy to activate oneself is essential.

Objectives

Who has suffered the most? and is my pain valid if others are in more pain?

When it comes to feeling emotions of discomfort one is struck by the immediate realness of the situation. Our internal pain receptors firing up give us no reason to believe that what we are experiencing is not real but what if our construction of what constitutes pain is skewed and was formed at a earlier stage and we are now experiencing the counterproductive effects of not being aware of the grip these internal structures have on us.

Truth # 1

It is easier to not do something than doing it

Our own mind is able to come up with excuses instantaneously on why we should not do something we said we would.

Pain is real and yet made up

When it comes to feeling emotions of discomfort one is struck by the immediate realness of the situation. Our internal pain receptors firing up give us no reason to believe that what we are experiencing is not real but what if our construction of what constitutes pain is personally biased and was formed at a earlier stage and we are now experiencing the counterproductive effects of not being aware of the grip these internal structures have on us.

"Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems. Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems"

M. Scott Peck

Who has suffered the most?... and is my pain valid if others are in more pain?

One of the most common questions for those individuals that lived in a developed nation is to ask: should I already be happy? and why don't I feel content if I have more affluence than the majority of people in this world? That question is rooted in a deeply flawed premise: that human lives are comparable to one another. When it comes to noticing emotions that are negative and undesired one should not deny that they exist. They are there inside of us and that is all that matters.

Viktor Frankl

"If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load which is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together. So if therapists wish to foster their patients mental health, they should not be afraid to crate a sound amount of tension through a reorientation toward the meaning of one's life"
