Conclusion: What is Self-discipline?

According to Yourdictionary.com, self-discipline is described as the ability to control and motivate yourself, stay on track, and do what is right. (Source)

Positive self-discipline is a practice that enables one to identify their ambition and focus on the tasks that are essential to achieve their goals.

Claire Lister, the owner of Pitman Training Group Ltd, a vocational training provider, advises that to develop self-discipline one must be able to first encourage self-evaluation.

Self-evaluation helps in pointing out any weak points an individual may have in their performance and brings it to their attention, which allows them to fix these weak points. This practice promotes positive self-discipline.

Lister also suggests that apart from self-evaluation, one must identify their strengths in the workplace, noting that it “gives people an incentive to use their self-discipline to overcome problems and achieve success”. (Source)

Positive self-discipline is also essential in the building of healthy relationships, both inside and outside of the workplace.
