Understanding the Nature of Discipline
Discipline is often seen as the exertion of willpower or the development of habits. However, the podcast challenges this notion by suggesting that discipline is actually an emotion. The speaker shares their experience as an addiction psychiatrist, working with individuals seeking to overcome substance addiction, and realizing that what they truly need is discipline. Through yoga and ancient yogic texts, the speaker discovers that resolve, which is the opposite of doubt, is the key to cultivating discipline. The yogis recognize that resolve is an emotion that fuels willpower and allows individuals to stay focused and committed to their goals.
