β¨ What is discipline?
Hello children! Today, we will learn about discipline. It's not just about willpower, but also about understanding how our brain works. We will see what happens in our brain when we try to achieve a goal.
β¨ The main part of the mind
Our brain has three main parts: the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, and the amygdala. The prefrontal cortex helps in planning and making decisions. The striatum helps in building habits, making things happen automatically. The amygdala reacts to our emotions and can distract us from temptations.
β¨ The limit of willpower
Willpower, which comes from the prefrontal cortex, is limited. It's like a muscle that gets tired. Therefore, we should conserve our energy. Our environment is also very important. Our brain is influenced by the things around us.
β¨ The importance of the environment
So, how can we use this information? We can change our environment, make good habits easier, and understand that discipline is not just personal strength. By understanding the interaction between these parts of the brain, we can become more disciplined and achieve our goals. Let's get started!
