Day Six of Week 2: Yesod of Gevurah

13th Day of the Omer

For discipline to be effective it must be coupled with commitment and bonding. Both in disciplining yourself and others there has to be a sense that the discipline is important for developing a stronger bond. Not that I discipline you, but that we are doing it together for our mutual benefit.

Exercise for the day: Demonstrate to your child or student how your bonding with each other is an essential ingredient in discipline and growth.

Discipline for Mutual Benefit

This is a tough one.

My teenage daughter regularly wants to stay up later than her bedtime. On the one hand, I want her to learn responsibility for making her own choices. On the other hand, we both know that we function much better if we've gotten enough sleep.

Though it's a struggle, when we are disciplined, we put aside momentary enjoyment in favor of more long-terms goals.

G-d created us as physical beings & wants us to love ourselves enough to take care of ourselves properly.
