The fundamental reason why people cannot correct their mistakes is that they face huge pain in reality when correcting mistakes, and there is great uncertainty about when they can finally get rewards after enduring pain for a long time. Therefore, choosing to be an ostrich is the evolutionary direction with the least resistance.

To overcome this problem, you can only gradually train your tolerance to pain, and start with some activities that can "get rewards in a short time after the pain", and slowly increase your tolerance and emotional memory for the length of time of uncertainty. The most typical way is to start with exercise. Exercising for an hour may be very tiring and boring, but you will feel very comfortable after the exercise.

Once you get through the pain period and get rewards, your confidence will increase. At this time, you should take an offensive posture and explore other activities that have a longer "uncertain period of pain", but you can get greater rewards after getting through it, thereby further improving your tolerance and enriching and consolidating related emotional memories. Willpower actually emerges naturally in this way.
