On this episode I'm going to talk about something I think is really important and that's mindful discipline.

So mindful discipline would be setting boundaries for yourself in your own mind.

So a lot of times when we think about boundaries,

we think about them with other people, right?

We think about like someone who is being co- dependent or something like that or being emotionally

toxic or whatever maybe if they're overstepping that we would set up a boundary

for them to give them less access or to kind of

Held them the rules of the relationship in some way have like hey, you know, I don't I don't like that I don't day whenever you do that and if you continue to do it then

we can't spend time together anymore. That's a you know just a very cut and dry

version of what boundaries generally look like but it's really useful to set those for yourself and your mind

and then use the sturdiness of your mindfulness to reinforce those and uphold those boundaries.

Now what that may look like is like looking for goals or things that you want to change in your life or things that you want to achieve.

But generally it's about some type of goal or development that you're working towards.

So you could say, I'm going to, as an easy example, I'm going to eat better this next week and you set that mindful boundary of like

okay that's what I've chosen to do and I'm going to uphold that boundary for myself.

It's weird the idea to put restrains on yourself, but it's a type of discipline that's very, very useful.

And so as like maybe the first day it's easy, the second day comes around and you know, okay, you have some dinner and then afterwards like,

hmm, I'm gonna sneak in there and grab a cookie or whatever.

And then you're like,

you recognize that happening,

that's the mindfulness aspect of it,

is you observe like okay I have the impulse
