A Night Of Unexpected Discipline

So I had this idea last night. I was all set to take my sub out for a fancy dinner, maybe a movie if things went well, you know? But then we end up having this long discussion about her goals and stuff, and she starts getting kind of anxious and overwhelmed. So I figure, hey, why not give her some discipline to help her focus on herself? Anyway, before I knew it, we're back at my place and she's in the corner with a paddle resting next to us. It was funny, she looked so shocked but also kinda relieved, like she needed that boundary somehow. So yeah, I gave her a few swats for being a bit too emotional about things, you know? I didn't think it would be such an intense thing in the moment though. Afterward, we talked more and actually it really helped her calm down and get back on track. Which is good, because now she's got this clarity and focus that I think will help her a lot. Anyway, who knew just a bit of discipline could have such an unexpected positive outcome? Not me, for sure.
