Self Discipline

Self-control, an aspect of inhibitory control, is the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. As an executive function, it is a cognitive process that is necessary for regulating one’s behavior in order to achieve specific goals.

Why Work on Your Self-Discipline?

Self-discipline is useful in many areas of our lives.

For instance, it’s what pushes you to do high-quality work, even when you don’t feel like it. It gives you the strength to stay professional with your clients, even when you’re ready to throw in the towel. It helps you stick with and achieve tough goals that you set for yourself. Self-discipline also enables you to keep going through to great success, despite what others might see as seemingly insurmountable odds.

It can also improve learning and enhance performance. Studies have shown that students with a high degree of self-discipline retained more knowledge than those without self-discipline. Additionally, researchers discovered that students with strong self-discipline were more careful in their tasks, which improved their performance.

Research has also shown that measuring a person’s level of self-discipline is a more accurate predictor of success than measuring their IQ.
