In this episode of the medical podcast, Atypical Presentation, we explore self discipline and what an individual can do in order to increase their own threshold of resolve, or at the very least, recognize their ultimate capability… and then decide to act upon it.We talk about the relationship between self discipline and self-denial. What determines the boundaries between these two ends? What do we want for ourselves vs what do we think we want for ourselves, based upon the viewpoints of the world, and how has that played a role in where we are going with our actions on a daily basis?We also bring up the phenomenon of grit, and how this is such a high predictor of academic and personal success in conjunction with self discipline.Also, prepare yourself for more interesting side rails like: what is brain plasticity? can I change up my neuro-pathways in order to better perform in my daily life? what is stereotype threat, and how does this have anything to do with my own successes? and MAGNESIUM! How can that help with all of this?Enjoy an exclusive interview with creative, author, poet, and musician Ceciliana Sturman, a particular individual in my life who is an incredible inspiration to a life of grit, passion, and discipline.To follow more of Ceci’s creative endeavors, check out her website:website: www.cecisturman.cominstagram: @ceciwriteseverydayemail: cecisturman@gmail.comwww.notyourtypicalpresentation.com
