It's interesting that as I wind down my weekend on this Sunday evening I just realized that I didn't have a weekend at all. All weekend was spent doing homework that I am too tired to tackle during the week due to a heavy workload. I agree with you that it takes self-discipline along with commitment. Now I have an hour to catch a move and be lazy!:~) "Self-discipline is the child of commitment!" ~Henie~ :~) <abbr><em>Henie’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.hennartonline.com/ISayUSay/2009/04/04/life-is-like-a-door/" rel="nofollow">Life Is Like A Door</a></abbr></em> Hi Amanda!

I'm really glad you brought up guilt about being more intuitive. I know I've often felt the same way, even though, as you also point out, I probably needed whatever it was that I chose in that moment. I think I try to work on following my intuition mostly (it usually doesn't fail me), but recognizing those moments when I need to override it because something has to get done. :) Hi Carla – Thanks for your comment!

Its good for me to defertenerate between the need to rest and do things for myself vs errands and chores that either need to be done now or that can wait until tomorrow. The key for me is not to feel guilty with whatever decision I make. <abbr><em>Carla’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/greenandchic/~3/KvGoXbzs4Gg/" rel="nofollow">The Controversy of the (Organic) White House Garden</a></abbr></em> I’m more of an intuitive follower and have felt guilt for giving myself probably what I really needed in that moment rather then following my life to the letter of the law.

I think my unstructured nature simply bristles at the word "discipline" ;) Thanks for stopping by. Hi Regina - Thanks for your comment! Great consideration of the idea of self-discipline as "training." I like that. Also, interesting comparison with "mindfulness" - I hadn't thought of that and I think that's also a useful concept for thinking about self-discipline. And, you're right, resting is not an option - not taking some time to rest is just as bad as being perpetually lazy ;) Hi Josh – Thanks for your comment and perspective :) It does take some willpower to do something when it needs to get done, and I understand the way you see “self-discipline” fitting that.
