At first i didn't quite get the "doubt is opposite of discipline", but after thinking about examples in my life I it clicked for me. I am disciplined, when it feels like I have no choice, when there are no doubts. If the exam is tomorrow I need to learn now, there is no option not to learn so the "discipline" comes naturally (in a form of panic). But when the exam is in two weeks there is enough room for my mind to make excuses. Procrastination is really just doubting the importance of doing something right now.

For example, say someone has an idea that they really want to achieve x for whatever reasons, but they fear it may be too difficult and they may fail, which would be heartbreaking. They may then subconsciously end up telling themselves they are a hopeless person and could never do it, to numb the pain that x might truly be possible, but even if they gave their all they might fail. Or imagine someone has abusive parents, there are circumstances where a child telling themselves they deserve the treatment is easier than acknowledging that their primary sources of love are horrendous people.

notes i took from this: cultivating discipline through resolve (meditation) 1. Snap shot resolve 2. Resolve yourself to something small; not too much emotional attachment (no fast/junk food) (practice fanning the flames) (for 30 days 5-10min a day) 3. Pick something more important to you (give my all consistently) (cultivate that emotion on a daily basis; 20min) we’re (myself included lol) worthwhile.

Being angry releases dopamine and norepinephrine, so you're probably more stimulated and have an increased ability to focus. Not being mad about anything specific might mean you're not fixating or ruminating on something uncontrollably and so are less internally distracted by a stressful memory. Just an amateur guess as to what could be happening in your case! I'm no expert.

I once had a very strong resolve, it was about “no more chocolates until I get a 6pack”, it wasn’t strong at first, but as days of gradual addition of learning jump roping, learning to swim, caloric control, and abs exercise goes by, the resolve eventually turned into “no more chocolates until I have 6 packs, and what is the point of those past efforts when I am already halfway there”, the last part really pushed me through when the exercises are at its hardest part. The resolve even affected my actions in my dream. I had a dream where I was having ice cream, and when I noticed it was chocolate, I threw it immediately into the garbage (you must know that I am hardcore chocolate fanatic). I was unbelievably disciplined now that I looked back upon, eventually I did manage to achieve a 6 pack from a fat belly within 3 months. I ate the chocolate and the resolve was broken, and I have never returned back to the 6 pack phase again, but now that I know why I was able to do it (resolve). Things could get interesting. Apologies for the grammar

@trpweb 8 месяцев назад

Seeing your resolve in dream is a great indicator that you're in the path. I have learnt you shouldn't aim for specific goals that can be achieved. Working out 5 days a week is a continuous goal. 6 pack is a definite goal with an end.

Action plan. 1. Notice when you feel resolved. Take a mental snapshot. Resolve fuels your willpower. Doubt and distractions pop in but you’re able to focus regardless. 2. Sankalpa. There’s a practice to develop resolve. Pick one thing you want to be resolved towards. Specific or broad. Pick something not very important (less emotional energy). Medium difficulty. Every day when you wake up, within 90 minutes, think about that resolve. Stoke up that fire. Spend 5-10 minutes feeling that emotional state from step 1. 3 The second kind can be more important and broad. Think about this for 10-20 minutes. Stoke that fire! (Recommended after 30 days of step 2). People who are undisciplined are numb. Every day is grey. We’ve no fire to stoke. Our brain protects us from negative feelings but also numbs the positive ones.

I watched your videos a few months ago and I'm back here to say that you changed my life. Thanks to the concept you gave about discipline being an emotional state of determination and the opposite of this state being doubt. For 15 years I have dreamed of the day that I would be disciplined and achieve the things that I think are important in my life and now I have achieved it. During all this time of searching I watched countless videos about psychology and philosophy while I was immersed in anguish trying to find an answer. The delay in this response brought me a lot of learning and self-knowledge. But finally today I am amazed at what I have become. I never imagined that one day I wouldn't make the slightest point of playing video games for 10 hours like I did. Or that I could study all day with short breaks without much effort. All I had to do was eliminate the doubt from my mind and magic happened. I was in love with doubt. I loved mystery and felt intelligent questioning everything. It was burying me in procrastination and anguish. Once again! thanks! Today i am the one i Always wanted to be with discipline.

I want to add - I'm 52, at 47 - after four misdiagnoses since the age of 15 - was diagnosed with ADHD, and in the past year ASD. Deep emotionality is a BIG part of ADHD/ASD, that folks rarely talk about. I feel EVERYTHING deeply. And since I have learned to work with and manage my reactivity- I have learned that my deep sensitivity isn't a problem- it's a gift! The "problem" was my reactivity- this understanding has allowed me to "forgive" those whom over the years have dismissed me and my feelings as being "too sensitive". I have decided, generously, lol, to believe that they all misspoke. I have decided that what they meant was that my reactivity was super uncomfortable for them - not my sensitivity. People actually seem to genuinely appreciate my sensitivity. I feel that my sensitivity, brave vulnerability, curiosity and compassion- now bolstered with healthy boundaries and radical accountability- I now genuinely appreciate my sensitivity- as I now understand that my ability to connect with my feelings in such a deep, curious, nonjudgmental way- I feel calmer AND stronger. Part of one of the struggles of ADHD and ASD is, it is often a challenging to activate on an activity or task, without some sort of emotional "skin in the game". This information- has me thinking that if I can simply use the resolute feelings - to help me to activate on things I struggle with - for instance- I have a hell of a time keeping my apartment clean and organized. Which drives me nuts - and has caused me shame. Now - over the past year - I resolved to accept this issue. So I did a an experiment, I "let it go". I allowed my apartment to get REALLY disgusting- and I made it a meditation- I would stand in the middle of my mess - and address the uncomfortable feelings of shame - leaned in if you will. And I was able to remove the shame - and was able to accept that those this is a troubling pattern in my life - I wasn't defined by it. Today - I watched this again - and now - I'm in the process of doing a deep cleaning- and I "feel" GREAT about it. Thanks so much - this one video has given me a lot too work with. Thank you again!

@divine-by-zero 9 месяцев назад

This was bloody fascinating. For starters, the connection between lack of discipline / resolve and being emotionally dissociated was WOW. Then I thought about what resolve means to me and I realized something mind blowing: Resolve is EASY. By that I mean that a state of resolve is like a switch going off in my brain that completely side-steps the need for willpower. Think of those stories you hear about a smoker that just looks at their pack of cigarettes one day and realizes “I don’t need / want these anymore”. They quit cold turkey and of course there are side effects to work through, but there’s no internal struggle. There’s no need to fire up the will power to fight the cravings. No need to convince themselves or psych themselves up to stick to their guns today. The switch has simply flipped and it won’t turn on again. Then I thought about what that resolve “switch” sounds like in my brain and I realized that it sounds like release. Those times when I’ve experienced the kind of resolve that led to profound life changes have always been framed in my mind as the laying down of a burden, or permission to more fully embody some part of my life. “I no longer need this toxic influence in my life”, or “I no longer need to be held back by this lack of knowledge”, “or I don’t need to be shackled to this weird relationship with food anymore” - that kind of thing. It always feels like a release. Thank you so much for this epiphany. It came at the exact right time too.

@divine-by-zero 8 месяцев назад

@@thedoomslayer5863When I hear / smell / touch / feel that sensation in my brain, the word “forgiveness” doesn’t really come up. It’s more like realizing “this thing / practice isn’t serving me” and realizing I’m not bound to it. There’s a deep sense of epiphany in there somewhere as well that seems to completely side-step the process of conscious thought. Maybe an example will help: Many years ago I found myself bound up in an extremely toxic friendship that seemed to sap my will to live, but I was completely powerless to escape. Very dark time in my life. Then one day I woke up alone in my home and it hit me like a ton of bricks how at peace I was. I suddenly realized for the first time how my level of peace and wellbeing was inversely proportional to this toxic friend’s physical proximity and that their vampiric nature offered me no benefit whatsoever. For the first time, it occurred to me that there was no law making me responsible for carrying this burden and that it was in my power to lay it down. It still took time to extricate myself completely, but never again did I struggle with doubts about what the right thing was to do or that I would do it. Never again did I struggle with guilt about what would happen to them in my absence. Never again did I fear being alone in my own space. In fact, it was striking to me how much I enjoyed my own company. I haven’t experienced a single day of loneliness since. I simply put one foot in front of the other and performed the actions needed to ensure my own safety and reclaim my freedom. Of course this epiphany kicked off other mental processes like self forgiveness, etc, but those were secondary to the epiphany that I don’t need to carry the burden of this toxic relationship any further. Having figured this out, I’m now thinking about how I speak to myself and how I might go about pro-actively creating those moments of resolve. I’ve been really struggling the past few months with preparation for an upcoming certification exam, so right now I’m thinking about what baggage / burden I might be able to lay down by completing it. If I can isolate that, perhaps I can encourage a “resolve” switch for that too.

Absolutely. I always wondered about the value of prayer and meditation, especially of my own religious upbringing about Praying the Holy Rosary. I guess it makes sense that if you start your day by meditating on events of God working in the world and overcoming evil and accepting redemptive sacrifice (i.e. the Crucifixion and resurrection), from this meditation, you can gain some positive emotion that leads to Faith, that LEADS to RESOLVE, that leads to overcoming depression and helps you live a fulfilling life. What Dr. K says here makes a lot of sense here, and it makes a lot of sense even with regards to my own Catholic religious tradition.

In one month’s time, this video is going to change my life. Let me explain: I think the reason why I lose my discipline after months of trying to do it is that I start to feel doubt. After going for long enough I start to think, “Will I actually keep this up?” “Will I be successful in this endeavour?” “Is it even worth it?” Like this I always ruin my own discipline by introducing doubt. I think recently my emotions have become more and more potent. Less numb you could say. And I believe what I was actually missing in my discipline was this concept called resolve. I thought resolve was just this one time willpower boost to do what needs to be done. But if I think of it in a long term perspective, I believe I can actually make this work. I believe this discipline thing might actually work out! All I need, is my resolve.

No wonder I avoid resolve like the plague now I am an adult! I never would have realized this without this new insight that resolve is an emotion and knowing that emotions can be triggers.

This really resonated with me. I remember as a child I was bullied for my visual impairment. One instance that I can vividly remember was when a group of guys on my school bus told me that the only reason I was doing well in school, was because I took my exams with the help of a paraprofessional (to read large blocks of text aloud), and she must have been giving me the answers. This was back in elementary school, but it flipped a switch in me; I gained incredible resolve to succeed in school, to become so good that no one could think less of me just because of my vision. This stayed a part of me for 10+ years, until someone called me a "stupid f***ing blind person"; I wasn't even mad, just shocked; because I was so 'smart', and I realized, it doesn't matter what one does, there will always be people who want to tear you down. After that, I tried to strive for improving myself, by only comparing the me of today, to the me of yesterday; however, at some point, I guess I stopped cultivating resolve, because I have found it difficult to feel motivated recently. I will implement your methods, and we will see how it goes.

Kids can be cruel. I don't understand why somebody would make fun of a person with disabilities, as if they're not going through enough already without the bullying. Inspiring story you have though! I was bullied for being fat, but eventually I learned to make fun of myself and take the insults as a joke. In the army (early 20s) there were videos circulating of me dancing shirtless with my floppy belly and walking around in thongs - which were basically my ideas. I realized that the best way to disarm the haters is through humor. If you're already making fun of yourself and taking all the insults as a joke, then they're powerless. Anyway, nowadays I'm studying about accessibility in design, so I could hopefully raise awareness of and ease the lives of people with disabilities. No-one deserves to struggle more than necessary for what they can't affect. All the best!

@@Virjunior01 What is 'punishment'? With discipline there is no such thing as punishment except what you have labeled as a punishment. If you hate everything you have to do then of course you're gonna see it as a punishment. You choose to see it as that. Two people can go through the same tasks; studying for their exams. One might see it as a punishment from their teachers, another a privilege as they get to learn. Discipline isn't a punishment, it is an act of self-love that saves you from punishment (the consequences of your lack of action). Doing the hard work is easy, living with the consequences of not doing it is hard.

@Virjunior01 8 месяцев назад

@@slick2876 not necessarily. The greatest acknowledgements of punishment we have in modern society are numerous. Of course, personal philosophy can skew perceptions, but think of this common one from the US Army: "Pain is weakness leaving the body." And going further back, "no pain, no gain." Different things constitute pain to different people depending upon any number of factors. In my case, one is totally physical. I've picked up learning nunchaku and have knocked certain places sore quite a bit while training only 5 techniques, but have come out stronger each time. To me, trying to eliminate the concept of punishment is as silly as believing punishment be required for any great success. I was literally faster than Andrew Tate with a flail weapon after only a month because I loved the way it made me feel, going from practicing only after the sun went down in the park, to boosted confidence even with meager skills, in broad daylight with families and parties everywhere. Last month, some kids at a cookout saw me practicing with my eyes closed for an hour, came up and asked "how do you do that?" Honestly, simple as I am, I asked what they meant. So they pointed at the chucks hanging from my neck. So I told them "just get some and try." There is no correct way for everyone to think or feel.

I kind of started doing this already. Almost a year ago, I was struggling with my studies. It was difficult to motivate myself, and I would burn out after a week even when I was able to get motivated. At the end of last year, something clicked, I made a serious attitude shift (which I guess is sort of like resolve) and just started saying to myself every morning, “bring the energy”. Really simple, vague phrase, but I know what it means to me. 9 months later, I am significantly more motivated, I haven’t burnt out once, and things genuinely don’t feel as difficult anymore. What I noticed is that it bleeds into other facets of your life. Working during the summer, I was able to stick to tasks and solve problems that I know would have stopped me dead in my tracks before. Interactions with my friends and loved ones are more positive. Self-improvement is very much a momentum based thing. I’m not forcing myself to change, I’m allowing myself to change.

I once described myself as moody to a therapist and she said that was good but I don’t feel like moodiness and emotion are the same thing (at least for me, I’m open to better definitions). It’s been so long since I’ve felt “resolve”. My habits from before my dark night like exercise, cleaning, work ethic, etc. still come automatically. I even quit smoking habit cold-turkey a couple years ago; so I feel like I have a lot of discipline. But I feel like nothing offers me resolve anymore.

One thing that might help you find something to resolve is to learn how to care about stuff. When I was going through school it felt "uncool" to care too much about things and that everything should just come "naturally" without having to try hard or be emotionally invested in the outcome. I now realize this as a toxic idea that's held me back for years. Perhaps if you have similar limiting beliefs try letting them go and see what you gravitate towards?

@jackienatla217 It's a bit hard to describe what I mean. Like emotionally involved, not necessarily in your performance but in the act of it. There are times when you're in the "just trying it out" phase where it's probably best if you're not too attached. But I guess what I want to say is that if you start to notice a little fire growing inside you, it might be okay to make a conscious choice to stoke it up, and let it occupy more space in you.

For me discipline is picking something you would like to develop (for me its meditation) and repeat it every day. But dr. K mentioned something very interesting which is sankalpa (or resolution for something we deserve), and that I think is what I am doing trough meditation. When I begin meditating I will repeat myself that my meditation is for that part of me who suffers and wants to be protected and safe. Then I say my meditation is for all the people who are suffering in this moment. Then for all the living beings, suffering or happy. And finally for God, the supreme person. So in other words I am offering the fruits of my practice to God (developing trust in God's guidance) and at the same time I assure that my suffering needs caring and attention. I hope this will help your understanding.

12:25, Cultivate Resolve on a daily basis. 1. Notice when you FEEL resolved. Take a snapshot of it, close your eyes and be aware how it makes you feel at the moment. 2. Sankalpa (means resolved in Sanskirt): Pick one thing to be resolved to; one general and one specific at EASY TO MEDIUM difficulty. At first, PICK THE SPECIFIC, SMALLER Sankalpa, the smaller resolve you're working on. Ideally, every day, close your eyes and think about that resolve (refer to step 1). Spend 5-10 minutes in the morning and FEEL what the resolve is like. Think through that resolve and give it a CALM space in your mind. 3. After say ~30 days, pick the more global issue that you want to resolve. It is going to be more emotionally charged, and that's perfect. For ~10-20 minutes, and go back to step 1 and think about that resolve, AND LET THOSE EMOTIONS COME UP during meditative practice. Go about it daily (as best as possible). Those emotions will cultivate like a fire, even bigger than step 2 (smaller issue) and those positive emotions will carry over to discipline. YOU WANT TO CULTIVATE RESOLVE ON A DAILY BASIS, THOSE EMOTIONS ARE LIKE A FIRE (in a tremendous way, giving momentum internally to emotions and processes, and externally to results). NOT WILLPOWER, USE HABITS BUT IT IS CRUCIAL TO HAVE THE INTERNAL ~5-10 MINUTES, DAILY, MORNING MEDITATIVE PRACTICE OF SANKALPA. 17:45, people who are undisciplined ARE NUMB. Not having high highs or low lows, or are overwhelmed by emotions (they're like a drag). When life isn't going are way, we become alexithymic by numbing our emotions through sedations and distractions (weed, video games, pron, technology, etc...). Emotions SHOULD NOT BE NUMB, so we're here to supercharge the emotions (the positive ones at least) that we can FEEL and CULTIVATE that warm, fuzzy feeling that builds up to a fire, on a day-to-day basis.

@CrystaTiBoha 8 месяцев назад

Anecdotally: doing meditation daily in seiza, fudoza, kiza and lotus sits (invariably painful traditional Japanese sits) quickly taught me that the source of discipline is *concentration* (Doctor K spoke of wavering mind). The conscious act of choosing what to pay attention to refreshes willpower, and choosing to acceptingly concentrate on pain, sorrow, shame etc weakens the control they can have on us. It became pretty apparent that lack of discipline and also bodily strength in the average person usually comes from an untrained mind. And learning to choose to pay attention to how our legs fall unconscious, how we choose to give up our legs on sits, is also training to learn how to give up our body, our life as this single mortal being. And when we can give up life as a whole, it's easier to give up elements of it, such as alcoholism, or the desire to feel envied, or our other inferior or ignoble ways.

If it wasn't for convictions, people wouldn't stand up in the morning and that's what discipline seems to be. It's simply the faith in "doing the right thing", that motivates them to motivate themselves instead of questioning their motivation.

Logic is emotion, emotions play into logic as it does everything else. To make a truly logical decision you have to consider the emotional factors.

"I'm never playing another game of league of legends". And here I am, watching this video again after getting it from a text I've written a while ago, trying to somehow reach my resolves again. New years' gathering (and everything that came along with it) had changed my routine deeply, and my first "runaway path" was drinking and...... playing. It is painful (yet fun). At the same time I rationally agree with myself about the dangers realted to playing league of legends (especially for me) I eager to do so, in order to just keep awake and I don't actually know why. Happy new year!!

Wow, this is kinda the whole process I went through subconsciously over a period of months, both when I quit Kratom, and then vaping. Having lived through that twice and having you label and explain the psychology and even physiology of all that makes me hopeful for the future. Thank you!

@juliana.x0x0 8 месяцев назад

Wow those two things are like two of my most extreme addictions [psychologically-I have quit both before, (well, cigarettes, not vaping) and although I didn't use kratom as frequently at the time... maybe a bit physically, assuming I didn't taper off, but I think tapering is the best way to go about it]. Congratulations for making those steps towards a healthier you! It's encouraging to see someone else kick some of the vices I struggle with 😊

I absolutely agree, every emotion that has had an impact on my life has always been found within a circuit. It's not just the feeling that makes us wanna do things, it's the thoughts after that feeling, the feelings after that thought that propell this chain reaction making it possible for us to think in complex terms because emotions have this very unique characteristic that they neurologically lead us in a direction and have so much POWER for us to take huge action on JUST a feeling we might have. Think about dramas, in which somebody might feel jealous of his woman sleeping with another man, so he kills that man even though it goes against his morals. Feelings are the one thing most powerful in our life because they can, as seen in the example, restructure our entire brain, temporarily and have more influence than any habit or repetition might have on you. Most importantly, feelings are also DYNAMIC.

@Ender99999 8 месяцев назад

It kind of makes sense to me now after watching your videos. I have an aggregate understanding why i am such a mess right now. I spend most of my days sitting in front of the computer playing video games, i just thought it was fun. But i realize now why it's fun because it sets aside negative emotions for a while, and never processed. Now years of doing that made me numb to my emotions, and now i also realized why i can't follow through with my plans, because it numbs me from feeling the resolve i need to act like a disciplined person. Thank you for all the work you do for us, for free. ❤

I just lived through a traumatizing, unjust experience and was frozen emotionally for several weeks. I must practice for upcoming concert but I had lost my motivation. Yesterday I realised that I was doubting my ability to perform. Once that clicked in my mind, my motivation sprang back into life. Today your video on determination pops up on my feed. Knowing that coincidences are nudges to direct our attention, I listened to your video. My experience is exactly what you have described. My self doubt due to trauma, was preventing me from investing time in my performance. It was quite difficult to work through things to reach that awareness. Your discussion on the Buddhist philosophy of opposites being in the same category had the effect of being the last piece of the puzzle.

This is one of the most powerful videos that I've seen so far. I've had a very long way with compulsive behaviour, and lack of discipline. And the technique and the state of resolveness is something I also realized myself, and it 100% resonates with the video. So far, this particular emotion of resolveness is actually the most effective thing for me personally, while fighting my compulsions. Also, it's very important to emphasize this - it REALLY should be done in the first hour of the day. The moment you wake up, is the easiest moment for you to direct your emotions the way you need them. Or to realize your resolve and abstain from doing something in the morning that would compromise your day. Don't underestimate what's been said there, real talk. This particular emotion is what actually gives you the flow, you just straightforward execute, and you feel like you do what you should.

Now on my 5th or 6th Dr. K video that’s changed my life 😂 This video has put into words something that I partially knew, but couldn’t string together. My biggest problem is that I’ve either let people put doubt in me, or they’ve forced it onto me. One of my teachers, my sisters, coworkers etc. Other people’s doubt has run my life. And because of that, I’ve been profoundly, mind bogglingly bored. And because I immediately doubt myself, I stop before I even start, or maybe after a few minutes of trying. I get this horrible, antsy feeling that goes away when I quit and go back to whatever mind numbing bullshit, like, social media, TV, etc. and when the day comes to an end and it’s almost time to sleep, I’m not tired, I’m not exhausting, I’m not fulfilled. Then I drink to forget it, and I stay up late to stave off the beginning of the next day of nothing.

What a great timing! Thank you, Dr K and Healthy Gamer GG!

@EmbraceTheStruggle24 8 месяцев назад

Wow - I've been having the same thought process too - but not to the point where I'm trying to be a 'discipline' robot; if that makes any sense. Rather I believe it's important to discover ourselves in ways that are creative, resourceful, and curious. Discipline is one thing, but its another to follow your heart and take any sort of information with a grain of salt, and not always worry what others think - and that can actually be the true hallmark of discipline, and self confidence.

@megankwisdom 8 месяцев назад

This might just be me but one thing that really helps cultivate this sense of resolve or commitment is remembering the pain of doing the thing I don't want to do - I havent had processed food in over 4 months (after a year of trying and lapsing) and if I ever get cued by my environment (ads, social events, etc) instead of focusing on the pleasure of the food I remind myself of how much pain those foods cause me and instantly it's like I don't want them anymore and I am even more resolved and committed to eating clean. I also overcame a lifelong obsessive compulsion this way. You can adapt this to any situation, for example for studying this could be like if you're tempted to slack off, remind yourself of the pain of getting bad grades. For a lot of people avoiding pain is a good motivator, sometimes a better motivator than an abstract positive reward.

@victoriaani250 4 месяца назад

Agree!! I didn’t think about it as an emotional but reviewing the feeling of I call it being ready/resolve it is an emotion. When I decide to do something I don’t waver but it really matters what else you have going on. If you have too much on your plate you need to empty your plate to have free room to concentrate on something specific to improve. It’s an emotion, a process then an act.

@viewerawesome 8 месяцев назад

What I learned from your video is more like "discipline is fueled/supported by positive emotions", and resolve is a easier goal to work towards, the feeling of "I'm doing something good for myself/I'm finishing some work today" is a positive emotion. Thanks for the video!

@sharif7099 8 месяцев назад

Now I am even more confused with what discipline is. I am really struggling with getting things done. And contrary to what you have said in the video, I do feel passionate about what I do. The problem is that my emotions change rapidly, even by my smallest faults or unexpected obstacles, and that heavily affects my productivity. This results in me quitting things I was happy about because of the reasons that have nothing do with those activities. People around constantly tell my that I lack discipline, which is the reason why I cannot force myself to do stuff when I am in no mood, until I go back to normal. Recently I understood that I do need to become much more disciplined in order to not ruin my life completely. But now I here from you that discipline is not about willpower and doing things that I don't like at the moment but which may be beneficial to me. You claim that its a complete opposite. I write all this not because this channel was a great helping hand for me on different quesions about myself. Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdow that you pass on to all those who need it.

@PracticalPotato 8 месяцев назад

Resolve isn’t just “if you are emotional you have resolve”, it’s a positive emotion. If you are not emotional you will not have resolve because you are dampening both positive and negative emotions. But if you are emotional, sometimes you will have resolve and sometimes you will not. Discipline is a result. You can be disciplined by having resolve (a positive emotion), or you can be disciplined by spending willpower. It sounds like you have issues spending the willpower to be disciplined when you are not in the mood to be resolved. But I think that as long as you accept when you have bad times and know that it will pass, you can at least try to do the minimum to maintain the activities that make you happy so that you can resume them when you are feeling better.

@vivvpprof 8 месяцев назад

I think it's vague and ambiguous to say that you feel passionate about what you do. Oftentimes a passion for achievements for instance, is mistaken for a true passion for things. So if you're like "OMG I gotta get this PhD done at last because everyone in my family has PhD and I can't be worse" or "Imma get this post at uni to boost my career" and you describe that as "well, sure I'm passionate about maths" then that's imprecise and misleading. I'm not saying that's what you're doing but you might be. If you are prone to resignation just because you made a mistake. I mean the greatest inventors like Benjamin Franklin or mathematicians like Euler made a ton of mistakes and got a ton of results wrong but that didn't tarnish their careers in the end. *Now if your goal is to become impeccable and great and all that*, then I can see how making a small mistake turns into a major obstacle and makes you resign. But that means you're not interested in the study subject but in the "fame" that accompanies being successful with it.

@deneb3525 5 месяцев назад

Two sides here. 1) look into executive disfunction and rejection sensitivity disphoria. Both have strong ties to adhd. They may fit what your describing. 2) what is your resolve? Are you driven to be the greatest Pokémon master that ever was? Or is your resolve to go catch Pokémon? If your drive is to be the greatest, that will stab you in the back every time you are anything less then perfect. If your drive to to just catch and train as many Pokémon as possible, if one gets away... that's fine, it happens. I've struggled with exercise for YEARS. I'd decide I needed to be fit, and I'd muscle up the willpower to exercise for a few weeks and then I'd get sick and miss a session, or life would get in the way, and the chain would be broken and I'd stop for months/years before repeating. Now, I've decided I want to be healthy. I've decided that I can be healthy. Now, the holidays have done a number on my exercise routine. But I also look forward to when I'll get a break long enough to go for a walk around the neighborhood. When I started it took me an hour to go a half mile. This last Friday I did 3 miles in an hour and ten minutes, a new record. Build a resolve that allows for setbacks, and then play eye of the tiger while you envision a training montage that makes you excited to do it and also acknowledges the setbacks you will have.

Whenever I felt the fire inside me I literally attended 9hrs of online lectures without any break without getting bored. But other days I don't feel like studying I can't even complete a single lecture and end up getting frustated.
