Let’s talk about the
changes that you
experienced when
you were in Grade 7
and the changes at
present.
1.How did you handle the changes in yourself?

2.How would you take the future changes in

yourself?
 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.

Being responsible during this critical time would benefit not just yourself but also your
family and community. This pandemic challenges everyone to perform their respective roles
even if it would entail greater sacrifices. In performing your role, it is necessary that you
develop self-discipline.
Here are some tips that you can follow to achieve self-discipline:

1. 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.

2. 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.
3. 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.

4. 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. You may
also try other strategies that you think will help you.
5. 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. You can adjust your bed time and
other activities and allocate ample time for your sleep and other preparations.

6. 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.
