i agree with so much of this, but discipline can also feel like such a loaded word as a non sacral that’s definitely led to a lot of internalised shame. add to that being a cyclical woman with a side of chronic fatigue and also a mani with intense rest cycles… sometimes the discipline is self compassion and letting ten minutes of stretching or intuitive movement be enough. 🖤
it sounds like you are very in touch with your needs and i totally get it. i spent years recovering from burnout and i was not in the gym. i was on my floor moving and breathing and feeling my way back to strength. true discipline, i think, is always self compassion - which also means you have to know your goals and values - have a personal code.
