and speaking of displine this is the topic that i want to talk about in today’s episode discipline can mean a few different things there are different usages of this word but when i say discipline in this context i am talking about self-discipline a defination could be an
->the
ability to persure
->pursue
something maintain something or improve in some way while correcting and regualating yourself dispt

the tempetation
->temptation
to abandon this that is a long defination but i wanted
to give you a sense of what i am talking about when i say displine.
so when i say that you want to have discipline in your language learning i am talking about being able to learn a language pursue this goal and continue to make youself do it even if you do no always feel motivated or you are not in mod

okay let us talk about discipline i already give
->gave
you a defination of what i mean when i say discipline in this context and now i want to talk about somethings that require discipline what are some areas some things in life that require some level of displine well the first one i want to talk about is waking up early so i know thatmany people hate waking up early and i know that for a lot of people it is not neccessary to wake up early and i am not saying that you should wake up early or that it will change your life if you wake up early.
however i do want to say that waking up early in general is a good practice it usually leads to good benefits and it can really help you organize your day better and be more productive than you already are but i know it is not for everyone so i am not saying that but i want to encourage you to consider it if you are already thinking about it if you think it might help you then try it i am sure that you will see that there are many benefits so why does waking up early require discipline well i think it is pretty obvious, because there is a very big temptation to back to sleep.
when you get up early when your alarm goes off it is very temptating
->tempting
to just go back to sleep by the way when we say the phrase go off or goes off in this context we are talking about your alarm ringing your alarm goes off it rings so there is always the temptation to snooze
your alarm you know you can press that snooze
button which gives you some extra minutes to sleep so there is always that option or there is usually that option to go back to sleep so it requires discipline to actually stick with your plan to wake up early and actually do it so because of that waking up early is an activity that will require discipline from you.
