• “Why do I always have more energy when forcing myself?”
• “Why can I control myself whatever I want?”

1. Concept

Discipline is based on two types:

• Habit: the way we do things regularly, hard to change
• Force: everyone has to follow the harsh rules to keep safety

2. Rule

The habit

To form, Habit is based on two machanism:

• Reward
• Repeating

Examples:

• Why do we usually brush our teeth?
• Why do we drink coffee every morning?
• Why do we turn on the TV after we go home from the school?

→ Because every Habits always has rewards that easy to see, easy to achieve, easy to maintain.

Thanks to Dopamine - Hormone Motivation since:

• Training Axon, Myelin and Synapse everytime we get rewards
• Training the Stability, Speed and Connection of the Mind everytime we get rewards

The Forcing

To form, Forcing is based on this machanism:

• Anterior Mid Cingulate Cortex (aMCC) - the part of brain helps forcing ourselve
• This is the place that handle the conflict and coercion behaviour - a center system to control the willing

Examples:

• Why do I wake up soon to study even through I’m sleepy?
• Why do I still work even through I don’t like?
• Why do I keep excersing even through I don’t see the result?
• Why do I keep working even through the boss hasn’t paid your salary before?
