Without discipline you get to nowhere. At the start discipline is hard because we are a human which our brain wants to do the easiest task available to preserve energy. to prevent this situation we have to train our brain to obey us not otherwise. repeating this pattern lets your mind knows that you are the boss not itself.

The critical part here is *you have to separate yourself from your mind/brain*, in other words you are not your mind/emotions. You can control them or otherwise being over controlled by them.

I don't think "control" is the right term, maybe influence. Thoughts and emotions arise constantly, you can detach yourself from them, observe them and act accordingly. Trying to control a thought or emotion is a fool's errand.
