This is when the brain produces a voice that says: give up, give up, why make yourself suffer! This is the test of willpower, if you are strong and tough on yourself, you will overcome it and stick with it until the self-discipline is successful. If you are weak, you will give up and become a person who wants to self-discipline but not self-discipline;
2. Want to self-discipline, first of all, to set a visible goal.
If we want to be self-disciplined, we must first set a goal. In the beginning, this goal should not be too high, to ensure that we can achieve through hard work.

If we want to get up early, we have to stop staying up late; if we want to read, we have to stop playing with our cell phones, catching up on TV shows, and so on. So, if we want to succeed in self-discipline, we have to stay away from these behaviors that make us decadent and produce pleasurable pleasure.
