The Benefit of Self-Discipline

May 4, 2020

I grew up homeschooled.

No, my parents aren't anti-establishment. Yes, I had friends. No, I did not do my schoolwork in my pajamas. Now that we got that out of the way... The biggest thing I got from homeschooling was learning to be self-disciplined.

Just. DO IT.

We would wake up at a specific time, set our goals for the day, and do what needed to be done. Of course I needed guidance from my mom when I was younger but as I got older, the expectation was to do what I needed to do simply because it needed to be done.

Online dance lessons are the perfect way to grow in self-discipline because you are learning for your own benefit. If you start in something you are interested in, you'll learn the skill much easier than starting with something you have to do but don't necessarily like.

In a world where education means absorbing what is being thrown at you, self-discipline helps students think of why they should listen and who they should listen to in order to learn.

This skill will transfer to so many more topics than dance... But why not start with something fun?
