Self-discipline methodology-feeling

[tomr]

A thought occurred to me today through retrospective introspection over my habit of breaking habits and forming new ones. I've noticed the ability to cause myself a fearful (biological?) reaction in manual self orchestration to command behavior above average from my standard peers. I was curious what people's thoughts were on emotion/feeling command and self-discipline, if any.

- may be something akin to martial philosophy i just haven't gotten around to looking up.

I can guess at what you are saying but... Can you give specific examples and how you utilize your controls. Include emotions as well as thoughts and how they tie together in this process.

I think others who are thinkers are often reasoning thier situations out before reacting to them. This makes us appear much more in control as our emotions become more a result of seemingly reasonable conclusions as opposed to a reaction to our enviroment.

"Can you give specific examples and how you utilize your controls. Include emotions as well as thoughts and how they tie together in this process."

Through meditation i undergo a pattern of mental static break towards a topic of consideration until a feeling of unrest and agitation occurs which is then immediately thwarted by an intense emotional focus redirecting me towards my meditative state. This dynamic countering of emotion is done through triggered thoughts of a tempered thread frequently revisited upon entering a considerable duration of focus.These thoughts typically are of a philosophical nature usually the original attractive logic for respective practice or endeavor.

"I think others who are thinkers are often reasoning thier situations out before reacting to them...our emotions become more a result of seemingly reasonable conclusions"

An example could be a process in which upon understanding/discovering a true relationship of conclusions evoking emotion, one would have the necessary gadgetry for utilizing emotion based self-discipline in regards to whatever endeavor.

Mostly i think this is simply a psychological process that quickly has one detached from self and enveloped in theory 'play'.

I remembered following EyeSeeCold's wiki link in one of my threads. I think your method is a style of entering an Altered state of consciousness . Basically you are working yourself up to get into a battle trance to deal with whatever you need doing.
