DISCOVERING THE

ROAD TO SELF-
DISCIPLINE
HGP QUARTER 1 - MODULE 2
Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. examine the importance of your role as part of the family and
community;
2. demonstrate personal discipline in managing family and
community concerns effectively; and
3. determine ways on how you manage personal changes toward
As you mature, you will realize that along with your personal changes,
there are also changes in your role in the family and in community. As
an adolescent, you can already demonstrate personal discipline in
managing your personal, family and community concerns. These
include life skills development, establishment of healthy relationships
and becoming a productive citizen.
Know and acknowledge your
weaknesses

Change starts from identifying your

weaknesses. Be humble enough to own them
and do something to start improving yourself. It
may not be easy but it’s worth a try.
Keep clear goals and have an
action plan

Be specific on what you want to achieve.

Your goal will serve as your guide in
planning your actions. Having a clear goal
would mean better action plan and efficient
use of time, resources and energy.
Commit to develop self-
discipline
Deciding to achieve a certain level of self-
discipline is never easy. Discipline would
mean doing things whether you like it or
not. It means doing the right things at all
cost which oftentimes gives discomforts
that may drive you away from doing it.
You need to have a commitment to
exercise self-discipline at all times.
 Learn to avoid destructions
One of the effective ways of avoiding
destructions is not exposing yourself into
it. Surround yourself with things that you
plan to accomplish. When you are trying
to avoid excessive exposures to anything
that disturbs you, try to remove them from
your reach for a while like gadget, radio,
television, etc.
Create simple and doable
routines.
Creating simple and doable routines
will help you in developing self-
discipline. For example, if you have
problems with being on time for your
scheduled classes, it is necessary to
know the root cause of the problem.
Create a Back-up Plan
Having a Plan A, B or C will help you
in managing setbacks or failures. Not
being able to achieve your goal on a
specific time may be frustrating but
these back-up plans will give you a
better opportunity to re-plan and
strategize your next steps.
Today is a great opportunity to show your family and
community that you are disciplined, and you can assume
responsibilities that go with the role that you play as a
maturing individual. Remember, this is a life-long process,
and you will be amazed of the possibilities that you can
achieve as you grow up
