Self imposed discipline - What is yours?

[Mel!]

Here is mine

Around 30 minutes of exercise per day
Sticking to a household budget
Reading a portion each from a selection of educational topics per day
Learning a small amount of German daily
Getting my paid work done, as fast as I can
Doing around a half hour of housework every day
Keeping my weight at what I want it to be

For starters:
-Trying to keep my portions of ice cream down to 1/2 cup or less.
-Limiting my consumption of ice cream to less than once a day.
-Resisting the temptation to buy a Hattori.
-Resisting the temptation to knock off the squirrels who consume most all of our hazelnuts and a fair portion of our chestnuts.
- Being polite to elderly neighbors who think I'm at their beck and call, at a moments notice, 24 x 7.

early to bed and early to rise.

From my student life was used to go to bed after 1am because I liked to study in night so I was also a late riser. Now I am changing my sleeping pattern for my daughter.

 

[Kayelle]

Now I feel so undisciplined !!

I'm not particularly religious, but the one thing I do every day is thank God for all my blessings. I also always bless my food. There are so many hungry people in the world.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
No I am by no means religious, however I religiously stick to this philosophy. Anything that people do/say which annoys me I make a point not to do/say the same thing to the others, even if the other party doesn't care or doesn't mind. I tend to limit myself quite a lot for this, which may indicate my extremely low tolerance level...

Getting to my exercise classes at least twice a week.
Walking at least a half mile (the circumference of the parking lot), preferably twice, before or after the class.

Reading to my ladies twice a week (and walking there).
Not drinking (obviously I mean alcohol) at least one day a week, preferably 3.
Not drinking hard alcohol at all (stick to wine).
