Synopsis
Self-discipline—a lucky few can dial it up at will, but the rest of us struggle. “I try hard but I just can’t be disciplined about certain things.” But, Huber writes, "Trying hard to change is self-rejection and will never result in self-discipline. Acceptance and kindness are what we need." This book is for those who are ready for an effective way of making changes but haven’t succeeded. Guided by our innate intelligence, we learn compassionate self-discipline. When present and aware, we are not lost in distracting, addictive behaviors. If we practice paying attention to what is here in this moment, we can be authentic, awake, honest, and joyful. Bringing awareness to how we are talked out of keeping our commitments is key to compassionate self-discipline, as is having a coach that is kind, wise, and firm, encouraging us along the way. This book provides a 30-day program of awareness exercises that will help show how addiction and distraction interfere with our ability to keep commitments to ourselves. The powerful technique of Recording and Listening is included, with suggestions on how to use audio recordings in our own voice as support for Making a Change for Good.
