Profitable traders, what made you actually stick to the rules you set instead of trading on “feel”

I like trading 0dtes, maybe too much. Some call it gambling, but i literally sit on TOS and watch as volume pours in on one side or the other, leading to massive gains across the board, but some how some way i always am the "Johnny Come Lately" buying high and selling low. Anyway i blew up the account about 2 weeks ago, and have since witheld my deposits until i can truly figure out what the deal is, or provide a better value elsewhere.

(go figure the week i hold out, is the week we dump 2%+)

All this to say, every account blow up happened because of one thing and one thing only. Me, not sticking to rules, revenge trading, getting distracted, etc. Its my fault and i am responsible. Ive tried to create rules, but none of them ever stick, i have found success in one rule in particular "take the money as the market makes it availible" -clipped from robert monroe; but then i fail to follow that too. Any advice
