The possibilities for mindful discipline are as varied as a person's awareness. Your personal practice pivots based on your focusing discipline of the moment.

Read this article from Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center for three different takes on mindfulness and discipline.

The first is from a former alcoholic whose understanding of personal discipline used to keep him feeling trapped and unhappy.  

The second is Thich Nhat Hanh talking about finding freedom from the feeling of obligation, through mindfulness.

The third is Pema Chodron talking about how mindful discipline can provide the structure within which more richness in life can be experienced.
