There’s a lot of misconceptions around self discipline and self control. Many people believe self-control means you can’t have or display emotions. They'll tell you self discipline is hard to cultivate, or you’re sentencing yourself to a life of boredom. That’s untrue. Self control isn't self confinement, but the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. Developing yours will lead to improved decision-making, a greater chance of success i

With emotional regulation, you build self control. You recognise how you feel, regulate this emotion, pause before doing or saying something harmful that stops you from achieving short or long-term goals, and think about what to do next. Here are 3 simple steps to help regulate your emotions: 1. Label what you’re feeling (without judgement). 2. Let emotions come and go like waves. 3. Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling, ride those waves instead of trying to stop them. . . . . . . #selfcon
