Check your self-discipline. How strong is it? It is not enough to just read about what to do. Can you muster the self-discipline to do what is suggested and required? You are the observer of your mind, and you have the power to stop negative thoughts by exchanging them with positive ones. (Excerpt from Chaos in Brainland)
