David,


I believe that you touch on this concept in your book Poker Gaming and Life.


I read the chapter called Will Power and you mention something similiar. If I may quote One way to harness your feelings to give yourself will power is to take great pridewhen you stick to a resolution and to feel greatshamewhen you dont.


I agree with this concept.I constantly make mini wagers/deals with myself. I reward myself for doing the "right" thing, and punish myself for doing the incorrect thing.


Just some random thoughts


Best Wishes

MK
