A trick to being discipline that no one talks about (that's why I'm typing and not talking)
Coming back from Uni is a mix of emotions. You're happy cause of course, you're finally free and you're hangry. Dead hangry. You could devour a person whole.ย
So as soon as I walk out, I am greeted by vendors and mocked by street food, cause obviously I'm not going to buy. I have some principles in life, after all. I follow whatever I say. No unhealthy food, no food coated with pollution no matter how tasty it is and also that I'm broke.
Anyway, so what I do to 'discipline' my mind is I purposely get attracted to those delicious foods. Make myself imagine their heavenly taste in my mouth.ย

The trick continued
Take their aroma in and make myself all the more hungry. So I tricked my brain that was trying to trick me into buying it.ย
That's not it. After craving that food so much (especially with my stomach having null contents), I tell myself no, means no. And then with me gaslighting myself, I do not eat that food.ย
Resulting in built up discipline and willpower.ย
Cause if you didn't give in to the craving, you built more power..
But you built additional power, by making yourself wanting that thing more and then not having it.ย
I hope that makes sense.
