plants 🌻Jan 22, 2023·edited·3 repliesdiscipline is something you can grow, it's largely a state of being driven by certain neurotransmitters in the brain. once aware of these systems you can game them and you can grow them. some actions like d*** use tend to trigger a flood of certain neurotransmitters (and other things) that give you a false sense of achievement (neurologically) which begets a lack of desire cuz your brain thinks u already did the thing.
shoutout the ancients here because i think they hit the nail on the head centuries before modern psychology did. "know thyself" and "the unexamined life is not worth living" knock the concept out the park imo. you first have to look deeply inward to know why you behave in the way you do before you can really take action "against yourself" (really for yourself), and modern science can help there regarding patterns of behavior formed in childhood and adolescence by explaining how certain structures of the brain operate and change due to external stimulus.
there's a whole host of behaviors that beget a life of discipline and some seem like a catch 22. regular exercise that's gets your muscles working, heart pounding, and sweat pouring does great things for your mind. similarly good sleep is the greatest nootropic, stress reducer, trauma released, immune booster, etc. Cold exposure also had great benefits mentally for growing your ability to preserve through mild discomfort, to do what you know you ought to despite your desire to take the easy way. (easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life)
there is a wealth of knowledge available to you for the cost of a used kindle (40 bucks), books like The Molecule of More, Atomic Habits, Grit, Waking Up, Siddhartha, Flow, The Shallows, and many more that can all come together and help you to see more clearly why you do what you do and how to change course.

"easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life" is really the life mantra, also the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
