Self-discipline is a key component of a Christian's walk with Christ, especially for those who are striving to be obedient to His call to be disciple makers. Self-discipline - today we look at what it is and what it matters. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 Biblical theology, emphasizes holiness, and sanctification. Self-discipline is an essential piece of the puzzle for growing your faith, honoring God, and becoming more like Christ. 1. Self-Discipline is Essential for Spiritual Growth The Bible teaches that following Jesus involves ongoing transformation. Self-discipline enables a Christian to maintain focus on spiritual growth and maturity. This growth is not passive; it requires intentional effort to discipline oneself in the faith. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NKJV): “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” In this passage, Paul emphasizes the importance of self-discipline in the Christian life. Like an athlete training for a race, the believer must discipline their body and actions to ensure they live a life pleasing to God. This passage also highlights that discipline is necessary for not only spiritual progress but also for preventing spiritual failure. 2. Self-Discipline in Fleeing Sin and Pursuing Holiness Self-discipline is crucial for resisting temptation and living a holy life. Christians are called to reject sin and live in a way that honors God, and this requires discipline in thoughts, words, and actions. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NKJV): “But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” Paul urges Timothy to “exercise” toward godliness, which speaks to the discipline of growing in spiritual maturity. This is contrasted with physical exercise, which has limited benefits, while spiritual discipline has eternal value. Titus 2:11-12 (NKJV): “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” The grace of God teaches the believer to deny sinful desires and live disciplined lives, demonstrating the power of grace in enabling self-control. 3. Self-Discipline in the Use of Time and Resources Christians are called to be stewards of their time, talents, and resources. Practicing self-discipline helps them use these gifts in a way that honors God and furthers His kingdom. Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV): “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” This passage speaks to the importance of using time wisely. Self-discipline involves making choices that align with God's will, ensuring that the believer is living for eternal purposes rather than temporary desires. 4. Self-Discipline in Prayer and Bible Study A disciplined prayer life and consistent study of Scripture are vital for growth in the faith. Christians must intentionally set aside time to communicate with God and immerse themselves in His Word. Matthew 26:41 (NKJV): “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Jesus speaks to the importance of watchfulness and prayer to avoid falling into temptation. Self-discipline in maintaining a life of prayer is necessary for strength against sin. 2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV): “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This emphasizes the discipline required in studying Scripture. A believer who wants to rightly divide the Word must be diligent and disciplined in their study. 5. Self-Discipline in Following Jesus' Example Lastly, the ultimate example of self-discipline is Jesus Himself. He lived a life of perfect self-discipline, obeying the Father's will even to the point of death on the cross. Luke 9:23 (NKJV): “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.'” To follow Jesus is to practice daily self-discipline, denying one's own desires and submitting to the will of God. Conclusion For anyone who is striving to follow Jesus, self-discipline is not merely about willpower, but it is a response to God's grace and a necessary aspect of sanctification. It requires a commitment to spiritual practices, a resistance to temptation, and an ongoing pursuit of holiness. Through self-discipline, believers not only grow in Christ-likeness but also glorify God in all aspects of their lives. Self-discipline is both a duty and a privilege, empowered by the Holy Spirit and essential to the believer's walk with Christ. It is through discipline that Christians can live according to God's Word and fulfill their calling to be holy and set apart for His purposes.   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** Developing self-discipline as a follower of Jesus requires intentional effort and commitment. A commitment to the spiritual disciplines can be a big part of the process of growing as a follower of Jesus. These disciplines are practices that help a believer grow in their relationship with God, resist temptation, and align their lives more closely with His will. In the context of following Jesus, self-discipline is rooted in God's grace but also requires the active participation of the believer in cultivating habits that foster spiritual growth. The spiritual disciplines are habits that help us keep our focus. Prayer, Bible reading, meditation and study Silence, Solitude, Community, Fasting. These are habits that help you build a strong spiritual life. We have talked about them before and will come back to them again but for now, Know that studying and practicing the spiritual disciplines should be a part of your spiritual life.   Developing personal self-discipline is a key aspect of spiritual growth and daily life, especially for a Christian who is striving to follow Jesus. While spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible study, and worship are vital, personal self-discipline in everyday activities also plays a significant role in the overall process. Here are practical steps that can help someone develop or increase their personal self-discipline: 1. Set Clear Goals and Priorities Having clear goals allows you to stay focused and motivated. Self-discipline thrives when you have a sense of purpose. Start by determining what is most important to you, both in your spiritual life and personal life. Actionable Step: Write down your goals—spiritual, personal, and professional—and prioritize them. Break them down into smaller, achievable tasks. For example, if your goal is to read through the Bible in a year, break it into daily reading plans. 2. Create a Routine or Schedule A structured routine helps build self-discipline because it instills consistency. When you have a set schedule, you're less likely to be distracted by fleeting desires or emotions. Actionable Step: Create a daily or weekly schedule that includes time for prayer, Bible study, work, exercise, meals, and sleep. Setting fixed times for these activities helps cultivate habits and limits procrastination. NEXT ACTION. DO IT. Proverbs 12:1 (NKJV): “Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.” A disciplined schedule allows you to grow in knowledge and wisdom, as it gives you time to learn and apply godly principles. 3. Develop Healthy Habits Small, healthy habits can lead to big changes. Good habits can gradually transform your life and build the foundation for self-discipline. These habits can include morning routines, exercise, and eating habits. Whole Life stewardship requires WHOLE LIFE DISCIPLINE. Actionable Step: Start by adopting one healthy habit at a time, such as drinking water in the morning, avoiding social media first thing, or exercising regularly. Focus on consistency, and gradually build other habits on top of that. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV): “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.” Taking care of your body through healthy habits is a way to honor God and develop discipline. 4. Practice Accountability Accountability is a powerful tool in developing self-discipline. When you know someone is holding you accountable, it increases your motivation and helps you stay on track. You aren't in this alone. Actionable Step: Find an accountability partner or a group that shares your spiritual goals. This could be a prayer partner, a mentor, or a small group from your church. Regular check-ins and mutual encouragement can strengthen your resolve. Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV): “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Accountability helps keep you on the path of discipline and encourages you to grow together with others. 5. Learn to Say No Self-discipline often involves making hard choices and learning to say no to things that are not aligned with your goals or that hinder your progress. This applies to both time management and spiritual focus. You must be clear on God's calling for you life and let nothing hinder your pursuit of Him and His mission. Actionable Step: Practice saying no to distractions, whether it's binge-watching TV, spending excessive time on social media, or even good things that might prevent you from focusing on what matters most, like spending time with God or with family. Matthew 5:37 (NKJV): “But let your ‘Yes' be ‘Yes,' and your ‘No,' ‘No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Learning to say no when necessary is part of being disciplined, especially when it comes to guarding your time and energy. 6. Eliminate Distractions Distractions are one of the biggest barriers to self-discipline. It's difficult to stay focused when you're surrounded by temptations or interruptions. By intentionally reducing distractions, you can stay on task and make better use of your time. Remember Mary and Martha. There is one thing you need. Actionable Step: Identify areas of your life where you tend to get distracted—such as your phone, the internet, or unproductive relationships—and take steps to minimize those distractions. For instance, you could put your phone in another room while reading your Bible or studying. Matthew 6:6 (NKJV): “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” Finding a quiet, distraction-free space for prayer or study is essential in maintaining self-discipline. 7. Take Breaks and Rest Self-discipline doesn't mean working yourself to exhaustion. Taking breaks is important for mental and physical well-being. Rest allows you to recharge and maintain focus over time. Actionable Step: Schedule regular breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge. Ensure that you also take time off from work and other obligations to rest, whether it's a weekly Sabbath, a day off, or short breaks during the day. Exodus 20:8-10 (NKJV): “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work...” Resting is essential for spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal, and it's a discipline that promotes a balanced life. 8. Practice Self-Control in Small Things Building self-discipline in small areas of life can create a ripple effect that leads to greater self-control in bigger things. Start with simple acts of self-restraint, and work up to more challenging areas. Actionable Step: Practice self-control by limiting small indulgences, such as sweets, caffeine, or unnecessary spending. This builds the muscle of self-discipline, which will help in more significant areas like temptation or long-term goals. Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV): “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit that grows as we practice it in daily life. 9. Celebrate Small Wins It's easy to become discouraged if you're only focused on long-term results. Acknowledge and celebrate small victories along the way to stay motivated. Actionable Step: When you accomplish a goal or stick to a discipline for a certain period, reward yourself with something meaningful—whether it's a small treat, a break, or a time of reflection and gratitude. 1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV): “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” Recognizing progress along the way encourages perseverance and motivates you to continue toward your final goal. 10. Seek God's Help and Grace Ultimately, self-discipline is not about relying solely on your strength, but on God's grace. Ask the Lord to help you develop discipline, giving you the strength to overcome weaknesses and the wisdom to prioritize what matters most. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV): “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Depend on God's strength to help you grow in discipline, especially when things seem too difficult. Conclusion: Developing self-discipline is a process that requires intentional action and reliance on God's grace. By setting clear goals, creating a structured routine, developing healthy habits, and seeking accountability, you can grow in self-discipline and make progress in your personal and spiritual life. Keep focusing on small, practical steps while relying on God's strength and guidance through it all. **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today   Church Role in Discerning God's Will   **(1:00)**   How are you doing at keeping those hard tasks on your schedule?

How do we keep going when life and faith and work are so hard and heavy? I'm learning that sometimes, the brave decision to keep going might actually look like taking a break. Like opening ourselves to God's kindness and compassion when we need it most, honoring our capacity, our limits, and the current reality of our lives. It might look like taking the time to take good care so that, eventually, with God's help, we might be enabled to continue and take another step.  As author and therapist Aundi Kolber advises: “Keep going, but take breaks.” That's what we're exploring today on the podcast. I hope you'll listen in :) Related remind{h}ers:  remind{h}er 08: Press Pause remind{h}er 15: You Are a Limited Edition remind{h}er 45: Keep Showing Up remind{h}er 57: You Are Not a Machine   www.withjulianne.com

To Live Life Fully Leave Life Regularly Take Breaks Before Life Breaks You Gita 06 17 by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

I have a love-hate relationship with tracking habits and activities. I wish I could get results and make great choices without tracking, but if I'm honest with myself, I'm WAY more consistent and focused when I do. Tracking makes me more aware of my habits, and when you measure something, you naturally try to improve it. As James Clear says, "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." It's those small, daily actions that lead to the big changes we want to see. Here are a few things I've learned about habit tracking: Don't Overtrack. I used to track EVERYTHING—from dates with my husband to calories and the number of times I went live on Facebook. I spent more time curating the perfect life than living it. Now, I focus on the most important habits. Remember, just because you're not tracking something doesn't mean you're not doing it Performing the Habit Might Not Be Enough.This is especially true for activities like dates with your spouse. You can go through the motions just to tick the box, or you can be more intentional and present. Assess Progress Toward Your Goal. If you're tracking calories and workouts, make sure to check your progress occasionally—whether through a weigh-in or a body composition check—to ensure your habits are moving you toward your goals. Be Specific with Your Goals. If your goal is mindful eating, for example, make it specific: aim to eat mindfully for at least one meal a day. Take Out the Drama! Tracking habits is all about DATA. Ditch the shame and guilt when you're not perfect. You'll find you're WAY more consistent when you approach tracking this way. It's OK to Take Breaks. I don't always track if I'm away or if it would be super inconvenient. Sometimes, I take weeks or even months off, and that's perfectly fine. To make habit tracking easier, I've created a Google spreadsheet that helps me track my daily habits. Send me a dm or email me: tanja@tanjashaw.com to download it! Take a listen to today's episode and I'd love to hear how it's working for you and what habits you're focusing on! Tanja x

Kt's journey is nothing short of inspiring, having transitioned from journalism to non-profits, brand marketing, and early-stage startups. Their path led them to co-found Own Trail and ultimately join Renew VC, where they focus on backing diverse founders and purpose-driven businesses.One of the key ideas we delved into during the interview is the importance of supporting diverse founders as a crucial aspect of social impact investing. Kt eloquently explained, “From a business perspective, there's data. It's data-backed that diverse-led startups, women-founded, and companies led by people of color perform well and often overperform compared to their white male counterparts.” This insight highlights the dual benefit of driving social change while also achieving strong financial returns.Kt shared their perspective on the limitations of traditional venture capital and the innovative concept of “Purpose Rounds” that Renew VC champions. Purpose Rounds democratize investment opportunities by allowing both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate, thereby expanding access to capital for historically excluded founders. As Kt noted, “It's not just Wall Street or accredited investors who already have the financial wealth and privilege to invest and participate in the financial upside of a company. But how can you open up that to Main Street investors?”Throughout our conversation, it became clear that Kt's commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply personal and integral to their work at Renew VC. Their dedication to challenging systemic inequities and fostering a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem is truly inspiring. Renew VC's no-warm-intro policy, which allows any entrepreneur to pitch without needing an insider connection, is a testament to its commitment to equity. This approach ensures that talented founders from all backgrounds have an equal opportunity to succeed.In summary, today's episode with Kt McBratney sheds light on the vital role of diversity in driving both social impact and business success. Their work at Renew Venture Capital exemplifies how purpose-driven investment can create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.AI Episode Summary1.

Kt shared practical advice for harnessing curiosity, such as reading diverse materials and taking time away from screens to allow the brain to process information creatively.10. Kt invited listeners to connect with Renew Venture Capital and herself via their website and LinkedIn, encouraging engagement and dialogue within the community.How to Develop Curiosity As a SuperpowerSuperpower SummaryKt McBratney's superpower is curiosity. They have an innate drive to ask questions, seek understanding, and explore new ideas and perspectives. This relentless curiosity has guided their non-linear career path, allowing them to connect with people authentically, understand complex systems, and uncover new possibilities for innovation and impact.Illustrative AnecdoteDuring a recent event with Techstars in Atlanta, Kt demonstrated their superpower of curiosity. They engaged with a founder who had an unexpected meeting with a certain type of customer. By asking probing questions like "Why didn't you expect it?" and "What new right thing did you learn from this?" Kt quickly connected the founder to a potentially valuable contact. This story illustrates how Kt's curiosity leads to meaningful connections and opportunities.Tips for Developing Curiosity as a Superpower1. Read Widely: Diversify your reading materials. If you typically read fiction, try non-fiction or poetry, and vice versa.2. Take Breaks from Screens: Give your brain some liminal space by stepping away from screens. This can help you notice patterns and generate new ideas.3. Embrace Humility: Approach situations with the mindset that you don't know everything and use this as a foundation for asking questions and learning.4. Create Liminal Spaces: Engage in activities that allow your mind to wander, such as taking a shower or doing dishes. These moments can lead to great ideas.By following Kt McBratney's example and advice, you can make curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileKt McBratney (I use both she/her and they/them ):General Partner and Head of Community, Renew Venture CapitalAbout Renew Venture Capital: Renew Venture Capital produces excess returns for investors and changes inefficient, ineffective, and exclusionary systems for better outcomes.

Creating work blocks when you're going to be online working can be the best, but what about when it's just not working for you? What do you do then? Do you force yourself to show up and struggle with the lack of excitement or mental clarity to give your best? In today's episode I am sharing with you what I've learned that helps me show up excited and ready to tackle my to-do list on the work I do online. How I've stopped scheduling specific days to disconnect and how I take time away that works better for me. This has been such a game changer in my work and how I feel when I'm plugged in working. I hope you're able to take away a useful tip that you can implement into your work day online.    xoxo,   Jeannet    Work with Jeannet: Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.

In a hustle culture, relaxing is frowned upon. And yet history is full of examples of breakthroughs that never would have happened without moments of pause and rest. The most famous example is Sir Isaac Newton watching an apple fall. If you want to have breakthroughs and achieve success, you too need to take breaks.

I'm starting to feel like everyone in the music business is way busier than any other career choice out there. Just because it usually takes longer to “make it” and we all have to work another job while we are working on it. Today I talk with Usaybflow, who is known for his insane talent when it comes to chopping triples and quad drops into his performances. About some of the tools that he uses in order to keep himself physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. While he has a full time job, curates content for Social Media, and is on track to play 40 shows this year. As well as find out some of his favorite activities to do when he isn't in business or creative mode and is trying to take his mind off of things.Because as we will learn, taking breaks is one of the most important things you can do as someone who works in a creative field!Society Selects (Last Updated: 3/28/23)Follow UsaybflowInstagramTwitterTikTokSoundcloud SpotifyUnderground SocietyInstagramTikTokTwitterSpotifyYouTubeSoundCloudWebsite: www.undergroundsocietypodcast.comSupport the show

Today we are talking about a 5th way of the 5 ways to help you stay more committed to your business, which is, Remember to Take Breaks.Keep in mind that you are not limitless. You are going to occasionally get burnt out, and you are going to get frustrated… just like everyone else. The important thing to remember is that it is okay to walk away and take a break when this happens. If you don't, you can dig yourself into a hole deep enough to consume all of your energy… and coming back from this hole is far more challenging. It is important to get away and ‘recharge' your batteries before you deplete yourself. Taking breaks to get rejuvenated needs to be a part of your plan and a commitment to yourself, so you can be the very best you need to be when it is required.To wrap up we have explored over the past 5 days - What Can You Do To Stay More Committed?When it comes to being committed, it is all about taking the first step. Commit to a single step, and then move onto the next one. Commit to your long-term goals, but don't let the whole picture overwhelm you. Taking each one of these 5 tips into consideration is a great way to get started on the path to establishing a greater commitment for your business, to yourself, and to your overall success. You WILL succeed, as long as you stay consistent and committed to your goals. For help in creating a success game plan that you are excited to execute so you can commit to your end goal, watch my Masterclass by going to https://bit.ly/Watch2023SuccessPlanning.  Want more from me, subscribe to my business success tips and resources Blog, by going to https://accountabilitycoach.com/blog.  Take advantage of the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/.    Want more from me, The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for The Accountability Coach Podcast which you can find on most platforms and in most English-speaking countries.

If we don't we will experience terrible burnout that can LITERALLY destroy our businesses. Don't look at breaks as "wasting time" but rather as a time that is used to help you be more focused when it is time to put in the work. Remember we are made to work to live, not live to work.

Are you even taking breaks? And if so… do they help you feel reenergized, nourished, and ready to keep going? Or are you left feeling drained, scatterbrained, and overwhelmed? Taking breaks (no matter how short) is essential to properly manage your energy and emotions so you can care for yourself and tackle your responsibilities. Learn the key to taking recharging breaks so you can feel refreshed rather than depleted.   In this episode, you will learn: How to identify what type of break is recharging for you Suggestions for what to do and what to AVOID to feel the most reenergized Practical tips for how to integrate breaks into your busy day   Mentioned in episode: How to Stop Overthinking at Night: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/how-to-stop-overthinking-at-night/ How Social Media Affects High-Functioning Anxiety: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/social-media-and-high-functioning-anxiety/ Be Focused App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/be-focused-focus-timer/id973130201   ++++++ Calmly Coping is a self-improvement podcast for overthinkers who struggle with high-functioning anxiety to help you feel more calm, balanced, and confident. ++++++   ATTEND THE CULTIVATE A CALM MIND FOR 2023 LIVE WORKSHOP https://calmlycoping.com/2023   TAKE THE FREE COURSE: HOW TO CALM YOUR MIND SO YOU CAN FINALLY RELAX https://calmlycoping.com/relax   *** WORK WITH ME *** My mission is to help you decrease your anxiety, declutter your mind, and say hello to a life of calm and balance.  Learn more about my coaching, therapy, and course offerings below. https://becalmwithtati.com/work-with-me   *** JOIN THE CALMLY COPING GROUP *** The free supportive community for high-achievers with high-functioning anxiety.

Today's topic is a continuation of the discussion about rest from the July Spirit Messages. I felt like I needed to do a brief introduction today for my new Spirit School listeners! I'm Danielle Searancke, also known as the Squamish Medium. I am a Swampy Cree First Nations Indigenous woman, living in the Cosalish mountain towns of Squamish, British Columbia with my two kids and my incredibly skeptical and supportive husband.   I have been developing in mediumship since 2013 and went public with my practice in 2017. I launched and initiated Spirit School, which is this podcast, an online school, and now a community, in 2018. I went full-time into my practice three weeks before the pandemic, in 2020. I didn't realize until about four years into my development how lonely I felt on my development path. So, that was why I started Spirit School, the podcast. It's still my intention to be raw, real, and authentic with you, as you witness me grow into an entrepreneur and an international medium through the time capsule of this podcast.    Until last week, my paid membership was the only way to be in community with me. I know that free Facebook groups bring people to your paid offerings, but they never sat right with me. Last year, my students started asking for a community away from Facebook, and it felt like it was time. My team and I have spent over 100 hours building a platform off of social media.    I have more people listening to the podcast than on my social media platforms, so the new platform includes a free space for me to finally connect with my Spirit School listeners! We just completed a 5-Day live Spirit Guide Challenge last week to strengthen our connection to our guides. You can access the replays when you join using the links below!
