Does anyone here use the P(unishment)ILD method?

I’d rather the rewarding system than punishing because your mind cannot see negative. If you try to tell yourself not to do something… you still see you do something as if you’re not saying “NOT.”

Actually, it’s been proven that punishment generally works better than rewards (anyone heard of the bobo doll experiment? Scary stuff!).

I think this PILD method has a little chanche of succes. This is because you brain, rather your pysch cannot understand that it is being punished.

Naah, I’d disagree again. As long as you understand that that’s what you’re punishing yourself for, then your subconscious/psyche will too. Because unlike the dogs, you have a conscious understanding of what you’re being punished for. I think. But I still think it’s a stoopid method. Really.
