Habits and Discipline

“There is no such thing as good habits and bad habits. Habit means living life without awareness.”

Would this apply for food and dressing as well?

Had an interesting conversation the other day with regard to dressing.

A friend of mine very particular and careful about dressing, basically a fashionist said – People could wear any dress modern/traditional; loose/tight; they are all individual choices, but wearing dresses with words written on them is inviting and should be avoided – No pun intended; but this was said, by the person who was wearing a dress with something written on it.

So with the food habits or for that matter anyother.

Can we say so with discipline?

Discipline is the suppression of base desires, and is usually understood to be synonymous with self-restraint and control. Discipline is when one uses reason to determine the best course of action regardless of one's desires. It is doing what needs to be done, even when one don’t want to do it. ‘What needs to be done?’ Can that be like habit without awareness? Nevertheless it does not mean the majority is right, or to go with the crowd. Not confined to one area, but covering words, thoughts and actions.
