The well-known business philosopher and personal development speaker, Jim Rohn, said, "All disciplines affect each other. Every new discipline affects all of our other disciplines. Every new discipline that we impose on ourselves will affect the rest of our personal performance in a positive way."

Unfortunately, this also works the other way. Every lack of discipline (or bad habit essentially) affects the rest of your habits and disciplines and will alter your performance in a negative way.

Let’s look at some examples of how this may look in different areas of your health and fitness. I am going to just give you two examples and I have purposefully made these fairly far apart in their analogies so you can see how wide this is. We will start with how you can see this principle in your nutrition/diet and then depart from that concept a bit and apply it to the physical act of swimming. I could do this for any area of life as Mr. Rohn does but this blog is about triathlon, swimming, fitness, nutrition, and health in general so let’s keep it somewhat inside the box (the philosophical nature of this post is far enough outside my box as it is…). I don’t pretend to be a business philosopher or motivational speaker like Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy or anything like that…these are just my personal musings on these subjects and I thought I would share them with you.
