Discipline vs. Regret

"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or
the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces and
regret weighs tons."

A motivational speaker by the name of Jim Rohn said that. It's hit me hard today. WOW! I cannot count the number of times I've been undisciplined and paid many times over later for that. I'm a wonderful procrastinator and delayer. I'm great at burying my head in the sand for the immediate and paying much steeper prices later.

Yes, I'm back on top of things thanks to the help of Flylady. I'm building little habits back into my day, like planning dinner after I eat breakfast. I've really saved our family a lot of money this week by knowing what's coming! No more last minute pizza calls! No more trips to BK! And I'm getting back into the habit of getting dressed first thing in the morning instead of spending most of the morning lazing around in my pjs. I'm swishing and swiping my toilet first thing in the morning, spraying down the shower immediately after use, and sweeping or swiffering every day. I'm trying to declutter as I unpack. And it feels REALLY good. :)
