MODULE 2
Discovering the Road to
Self-Discipline
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 self-appreciation.
This module aims to help you discover self-discipline
and its relevance to your role as an adolescent. Self-
discipline and awareness on your role in the family and
community will help you achieve your personal goals
and maintain healthy relationships.
Processing Questions:
1. What is your most important role in the family? How about in
the community? Why?
2. How do you compare your role in the family and community?
3. Given a chance to change any of your roles, what particular
role will you change? Explain your answer.
On a clean sheet of paper, copy the
template shown below. Describe the
changes that you experienced when you
were in Grade 7 and the changes at present.
Keep in Mind
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.
YOU CAN DO IT!
