Good Drills Involve Mind, Body and Emotional State


Part 3 on How to Develop Self-Discipline

Drills for self discipline can give you the tools for success.
But only CORRECTLY developed drills that look at the MIND,
BODY and EMOTIONAL state really improve a person's character.

Let's take some practical examples, physical drills only develop
skills, that is why you can have very corrupt military and
police.

Mental drills deal with the intellect and that is why you can
have a guy who is a genius in Math or Academics, be a
complete loser when it comes to dealing with human beings.

Emotional drills that deal with what we call the "spirit" of an
individual, and I am not talking religion per se here, can still
lead to people in Authority who abuse their office.

=====
Tip #1
A successful drill for self discipline must first assess the
needs of the individual.
=====

Let's take a practical example:

My challenge is to teach a thirty something white collar worker
whose goal is to find the discipline to get in shape while losing
some weight and learning self defense.

Any drills designed on the physical side must use time so that
the individual can work at their own pace. In other words, punching
a pad for 3 minutes is different than executing 200 punches within
3 minutes.

The drill must take into account the person's mental state. Drills
must be explained patiently so that the person is aware how to
perform the drill correctly. Some people require more explanation
than others.

The emotional state is key. If the person has just had a brutal
day at the office, care must be taken to be encouraging and
making the experience as positive as possible so that the
person will be excited to come back.

You can't have self discipline without a lot of repetition.

May I suggest that you try one of our classes, find the right one
for you that fits your schedule. Here is a video of what the classes
are like.

And here is the schedule for the classes.


In the Part 4 I will talk about the need to find the right teacher
or coach.

All the best to you.
