@Adityapandeydev The brain grows in the space between doing hard things. You need to let the brain breath to take it all in.

The whole "willpower muscle" narrative misses why this brain region actually exists. Early humans didn't have claws or sprint speed. We survived by chasing massive animals across the hot savanna for hours until the prey simply collapsed from heat exhaustion. But running for hours destroys the body. A normal mammalian brain will actively force you to stop when it hurts, because wasting energy usually means death. The aMCC evolved to break that rule. It weighs the severe, immediate physical pain against the massive future reward of a meal. If the math works, it suppresses the urge to quit and directly commands your legs to keep moving. It’s not a magical center for modern discipline. It’s an ancient accounting system built to override pain so we didn't starve.

Jordan Peterson on why you must never give yourself an "easier" task to avoid the hard one: Peterson explains a psychological trap that almost everyone falls into when facing something difficult. "Don't practice what you do not want to become." He describes what happens inside your brain when you're avoiding a hard task: "If you're really sneaky when you're trying to do something hard, what your brain does is give you something else hard to do that's not quite as hard, so that you can feel justified in not doing the thing you're supposed to 'cause you're doing something else useful." This is the trap. You feel productive. You're busy. But you're not doing the thing. And every time you give in, you make it worse: "If you give into that temptation which you often will, then it wins. And because it wins, it gets a little dopamine kick and it grows stronger. Anything you let win the internal argument grows. And anything you let be defeated shrinks, because it's punished." This is Peterson describing neurology: "Those are neurological circuits. You build those things in there. They're not going anywhere. You can build another little machine to inhibit them. That's the best you can do. Once they're in there, you can't get them out." Even the circuits you build to resist the bad habit aren't permanent: "The ones you build to inhibit can be taken out by stress and the old habits will come back up." So what's the actual lesson? Every time you dodge the hard thing, you're casting a vote for the version of yourself that avoids hard things. You're wiring that pattern deeper into your brain.
