Ways to Develop Self-discipline

Five years ago, I was the heaviest I’ve weighed in my life. When I would run, I’d immediately get tired. The worst part is that I had no motivation to get healthier—until I threw my back out. 【小题1】 When I went to physical therapy (治疗), the young woman helping me pointed to my stomach and said, “we need to awaken these muscles.” From that point on, I knew I had to change. I had to think about how to develop self-discipline with eating and working out.

【小题2】But I eventually lost 30 pounds and have maintained a consistent workout schedule for the past five years. Of course, self-discipline is bigger than just physical health. Having discipline helps us grow, makes us reliable, and strengthens our moral framework. Here’s how to develop self-discipline.

Set clear end goals. 【小题3】 If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the breeze. If you want to be disciplined, set clear and measurable goals. Then display those goals where you’ll see them every day.

Do the small things. We all want big change quickly. It doesn’t happen that way, though. Self-discipline starts by performing small activities consistently. The small things add up to big results. 【小题4】 Every small act of faithfulness makes your self-discipline stronger.

Keep record of your progress. It’s pointless to have goals if you aren’t measuring whether or not you are moving toward them. When I don’t track my progress, I stop doing things I need to do and become lazy. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going.【小题5】

Are you looking for a fun way to improve your fitness? Look no further than tennis! This fast-paced sport offers more than just a good time on the court. 【小题1】

Become more agile (敏捷的) and flexible.

【小题2】 These activities help improve your overall (全面的) balance and overall flexibility. According to a study conducted by The Physiotherapy Associates of Scottsdale, tennis players showed a greater ability for flexibility and agility compared to people who lead less active lives. So, put on your tennis shoes and get ready to play!

【小题3】 Tennis is one of those sports that can get your heart pumping and blood flowing. A study performed by the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that sports with rackets (球拍), like tennis, can help lower their player’s risk of heart diseases. Who knew that hitting a ball with a racket could be so good for your heart?

Build up overall strength.

Have you ever noticed that tennis isn’t just about the arm movements? 【小题4】 The constant running, swinging and hitting the ball builds muscular strength. Because of this, tennis can make you physically as well as mentally strong.

Establish-social interaction.

Some sports can be played or done on your own, such as swimming. 【小题5】 It is a game played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players (doubles). The social interaction that happens as a result of playing tennis with someone else is not only great for your social interaction, but also boosts your mental and physical well-being.
