We’ve all struggled with the impulse to do something we want to do when we know we should do something else.

New research led by UT neuroscientist Thomas Elston has uncovered clues on how the brain regains control when these urges threaten to take over.

Now spinning, Self Control by Laura Branigan. I’ve been going back-and-forth from 80s to country to recent releases. A very mixed bag today.

“You take my self, you
take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning
comes, the story's told
You take my self, you
take my self control..”

(= Beni benden alıyorsun,
kendime olan hakimiyetimi..)

You probably know this experiment. A child sits at a table. A researcher puts a marshmallow in front of them and says: you can eat this now, or you …

Just published a new article on the instincts that drive our reactions — fear, desire, aggression, and survival — and how discipline helps us manage them.

Mastering discipline starts with control.
Learn how taking charge of your attention, emotions, time, and words can completely change your direction and level up your focus.

A short pause can prevent an impulsive reaction from becoming a lasting mistake. Create space between what happens and how you respond. That moment of control allows you to choose a wiser action instead of following the first emotion.

The hardest person to set boundaries with is yourself. To stop scrolling. To go to bed. To not text them. To choose the hard right thing over the easy wrong thing. Master that and everything else gets easier. #selfcontrol #boundaries #discipline

You cannot control external circumstances or every emotion that arises, but you own your choices.
Feel your emotions, process them fully, and then consciously master your response.

Dramatic language and emotional outbursts dig you deeper. Describe your reality plainly, then focus on what you'll do next.

The Power of Renewable Self-Control: It’s More About Belief Than You Think

#Taboos snarl our most intimate efforts to balance our #SexDrive w/our #SelfControl. We want to be like the models our culture provides. If we fail, we don’t belong. If we don’t belong, we aren’t #sexy. If we aren’t sexy, our peers may see us repulsive—so may we. #GenderHistory

The hardest part isn’t quitting the addiction.
It’s learning to sit with the discomfort that comes before it.
Don’t immediately escape, distract, or give in.
Stay with the feeling. The more you face it, the more control you build.
