Self-control: An everyday practice guide

1. Meditate 10 minutes a day. Meditation may seem like an unusual way to build self-control, doesn't it? You think you will just have to sit and stop thinking, am I right?

Well it's not exactly like that. Meditation involves exercising discipline on your thoughts, clearing your head, focusing on your body and your breathing.

It's harder than you think; sitting still and not thinking about anything other than your breathing patterns takes tremendous effort.

If you're willing to give it a chance for a month, you will see your self-control improving in surprising ways.

2. Start your day with some exercise. Engage in some form of physical activity even for as little as five minutes a day, after breakfast after breakfast.

It's a strong tool can buildings discipline. Exercising in the morning will skyrocket your success within the day and drive yourself to doing some challenging work first thing in the morning.

3. Make your bed. Making your bed doesn't take more than 2-3 minutes. It's does, however, require discipline since you don't necessarily have a reason to do it. Making your bed won't make you more productive at work. It is the dullest exercise - but you should still do it. It promotes discipline and boosts productivity the minute you wake up and begin your day. It could also motivate you not to return to bed once you have woken up.

5. Limited diversions

Turn off your mobile phone

Turn off notifications on social networks

It will help you focus and what you have to do

6. Stop nagging. It distracts you from anything positive going on it makes you focus on the negatives.

Give it to a go for 30 days and you will see a great difference. Good luck!
