This story is really inspirational! At first Margie didn’t have any discipline and, lost control of herself. Then she changed her problem into something that she would face on. That is really couragous of Margie to do that for herself. It’s even better that she quit the nail-biting habit. I felt bad, however, about the part where Margie said that people picked on her for being overweight. That’s not right at all. People are born differently and they grow differently. I think that Margie looks really cute and sexy just the way she is regardless of her size. All people are born equally regardless of their skin color, heritage, culture, or size. Way to go Margie

The lack of self discipline is the reason for so much need for much mental depletion.
Self discipline can keep us all in line. We all need discipline in one area or another..

Where are you lacking in discipline?

i think i like this article.. i like this idea of starting out small and building. I always make the mistake of trying to get results too quick and then eventually giving up.. good work!

That’s inspiring. Nail biting can be a really nasty habit, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but from a social one. It’s so strange to see someone else directing his focus towards his/her nails while you’re having a conversation. It’s like saying: “I can’t focus on that right now, i have anything else to do, sorry”.

Self-discipline is one of the biggest assets I’ve built out of my entrepreneurship endeavors, it’s a thing that proved tremendously useful in my personal or social life too.

“…the very best version of yourself that you can dream up.” Right. It seems to me identifying that “yourself” is a step many of us skip as we set off down life’s road. Then we often end up being the best version of someone else that we could dream up.

@Brandon An interesting way a friend of mine defeated nail-biting is by “bitch-slapping” himself across the face every time he caught himself biting. This classic form of NLP (Neuro-linquistic Programing), was very effective in associating nail biting with pain, and ultimately discouraging him to stop biting nails for good.

Considering he’s one of the most disciplined people I know, this is effective.

I don’t bite my nails into little stubs, but if they get out of hand (way too long), I notice myself trying to even them out with my teeth. Right away I cut them down to normal, and do not bite them at all. I just think of this as a reminder mechanism for me.

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step.

I defeated my nail-biting addiction a few years ago, and am glad I did. Not only do they look good (and professional … lol Tony Robbins), but the sensation of scratching an itch is much more effective with nails — than with finger “nubs”.

Plus, I was able to improve my self-discipline in an area I’d never conquered before. And believe it or not, nail-biting was a challenging habit to beat.

Nice post!
