Self control

Self-Control Equals Self Discipline ~ Remez Sasson

Self-control is the ability to control impulses and reactions, and is another name for self-discipline.

It is not some kind of negative and limiting behavior, as some people might think. When self-control is used wisely and with common sense, it becomes one of the most important tools for self improvement and for achieving success.

Self control is vital for overcoming obsessions, fears, addictions, and any kind of unsuitable behavior. It puts you in control of your life, your behavior, and your reactions. It improves your relationships, develops patience and tolerance, and is an important tool for attaining success and happiness.

Several times a day, especially when you need to display self control, repeat for a minute or two one of the following affirmations: 1. I am fully in control of myself.

2. I have the power to choose my emotions and thoughts.

3. Self-control brings me inner strength and leads me to success.

4. I am in control of my reactions.

5. I am in charge of my behavior.

6. I am gaining control of my emotions.

7. I am the master of my life.

8. Day by day my ability to control my feelings and thoughts is increasing.

9. Self-control is fun and pleasurable.

Visualize yourself acting with self-control and self-restraint. Take one of the instances where you usually act with lack of control, and visualize that you are acting calmly and with self-mastery.

6) Your self control will improve considerably, if you work on developing and strengthening your willpower and self-discipline through appropriate exercises.

This is actually the most important step for developing self control.

By developing and strengthening your willpower and self discipline, you develop and strengthen your self control.
