It takes time to break old habits, my minx and I have been doing this for about 2 and a half years and I don’t think I really started to keep my mindset more or less consistent until about 6 months ago. It really depends on your dynamic though, as if there are times that you are not both in your dynamic roles by intention, then of course you will continue to needed to switch in and out.
As to discipline, my minx is very a pleaser and wants to stay on top of the rules and it isn’t her desire to ever push or earn a discipline. We did not have discipline as part of our dynamic for at least the first two years. We do have a correction protocol where if the does get disrespectful or breaks a rule I will have hear kneel while we talk through what happened and if a disrespect issue, why I felt disrespected. At the end, I will help her up from the kneeling as a symbol of restoring her as my capable co-pilot. We are starting to explore discipline again a bit more but have yet to use it but we are both in a place now after over two years where it might be beneficial.
As you decide what fits you and your submissive, I would encourage that you only bring things into your dynamic that feed you both, not because others do it or it is what “Doms” do. There are many aspects to the dynamic that minx and I have that outsiders might question or consider out of our roles, but it works for us and our mindset so we keep those things.
