Setting Mindful Boundaries for Self-Discipline

Mindful discipline involves setting boundaries for yourself in your own mind, similar to setting boundaries with others. It's useful to set these boundaries when working towards goals or personal development. For example, setting a boundary to eat better and observing impulses to deviate from that boundary. Mindful discipline involves recognizing these impulses and choosing to uphold the boundary, rather than giving in to temptation. Over time, sticking to these boundaries becomes easier and the desire for the forbidden object diminishes.
