Focus - paying attention, concentrating on what Their words are, what the task is at hand. Not 5 different tasks at once, or on five different conversations at once. you belong to Them - your Dominate is the voice you should always be seeking, the One that you stop and listen to above everything around you. If They are not in that place, then you may want to stop and look at yourself. Believe me this is not always easy, i hit points where i am trying to do 500 things at once, and Their voice becomes lost in the mind clutter in my head. Even when i think i am focused on Their exact words that moment, if i am doing another task, there is a chance i failed to pay attention to the instructions given. One way for me to over come this is to start making a list of what i am told, so that i do not feel more overwhelmed and try to rush and do everything at one time. .... i still need to find a notepad to do this. Learning!
Discipline - is the control, the focus set forth to do what is needed, required, or at times not even asked of oneself. Self-discipline is crucial in all areas of life, whether one is vanilla, submissive, and especially if one is slave. Without that control and awareness of what you are doing, and what is going on around you, you are a ship tossed about by waves in a calm sea.
Those two areas are important, because face it W/we all love attention - however there is one form of attention i am not a fan of:
Correction - i.e. punishment is when we fail to exercise discipline, or at times even make a mistake. That is when our Dominates stop, take the time to correct what we are doing wrong so that we can grow stronger. If They did not love us, They would not bother with us. Yes it can be harsh, it can hurt our feelers, but once we allow ourselves to move past that point and actually learn what is needed - the growth can be amazing.
Today, tomorrow, and far into the future - focus and self-discipline are two huge areas that i am working with daily, minute to minute at times. Finding that calm space in my head, where i am not overwhelmed and rushing. Learning to stay there with a list of what needs to happen, not what has to happen that second. Learning to find this point within a second of being reminded, so that i can stop, take that deep breath, and then move forward correctly.
If W/we are not growing and learning T/together - then W/we are stagnant -and that is not healthy for any of U/us.
