Assignment For This Month

This month, we'd like to round out this discussion by asking you all to practice journaling about your relationship with discipline. We've discussed many factors that affect our relationship with discipline and how we relate to them.

• How do you feel about it?
• Is it important to you?
• Do you notice it in your life now?
• Is it something that you want to get better at?
• Or is it something that makes you uncomfortable? Maybe you struggle with it.
• Can you imagine ways to change your relationship with it?

Just explore your relationship with discipline. Let us know what you come up with, and we'll do the same.

We hope you are as inspired by the Solarpunk movement as we are!
