It’s been a while, I know you must be upset with me if you enjoyed reading my blog posts on a constant basis. I’m now a couple of weeks into living in my place and I’ve learned something I want to share. Something that hopefully will help me get back to writing my blog posts.
All of this year I have tried to lose weight and get into good shape. Before I moved to Toronto, while I was living in my mother’s house I was having a hard time controlling my diet. This was because I didn’t have control of the groceries and even my schedule. I couldn’t create a routine and limit myself to healthy foods.
Even when I moved to Toronto and stayed with family I still struggled a bit. This is because it wasn’t my house to control. Not being in charge of my routine and living space put me out of ease.
Now that I am living in my space I have improved my diet. This has brought me perspective of how important it is to be able to have control over your environment. If you can’t control what is going on around you, it can easily influence you. Think of someone trying to quit smoking and hanging out in the smoking section.
Discipline not only involves regiment and making the right choices, but also setting yourself up to succeed – that means controlling your environment.
