Hello Audience !!!
Here are we with last but not the least episode of the warriors series...grab a coffee and tune in because it's gonna raining hacks....!!!
Quoting a great man that once said:
"Hate me or Love me, But am still gonna make it!!!"
In the last episode, we talked about the power of self-discipline
and why we need it, and also how can we build it...well in this episode
we gonna drill the cousin of self-discipline termed self-control.
Inside the box, it might occur to you...
Hey Devta what's the difference??
To answer that outside the box there is only one difference that is the
silver lining, self discipline is a key that helps you get started but
self-control is a key that's what keeps you going. Adherence to one
helps you boost the other. Well, both take the same component that we
talked about in an
earlier episode(if you haven't read it go check out now) but how they operate is
different. For Eg: It's 4am in the morning and after a whole lot of
century of Mississippi's writing several drafts and deleting, you feel
give it up all. But it's the hunger of impactful existence...creating something meaningful that doesn't let you sleep...now that's where you get your dose of
motivation not to give up.
This motivation my friend that's what self-control is all about...my
hack for this is multi-task, switching between the task help me come
back stronger. Because there are many levels to the work you do and in
the times you stuck it becomes a great source of confidence
booster....who said multi-task is a myth? do it the right way and you
enjoy the pain....thats the first hack you get...and will cover the rest
the later....also want to clarify what works for one becomes hell for
the other...if you can get through then continue otherwise let it
go.
So, what do we have in the store for today's episode...
- What is Self Control and Why?
- What Causes a Lack of Self Control?
- How to Build it and never give a fuck to negativity...
- Benefits of Self-Control.
So, Let's Get Started ...
What is Self-Control and Why?
Well, self-control is an essential tool used for self-improvement if
used wisely and with common sense to get what you want. It is the
ability to control and retain negative impulses and invest energy in productive work. While self-control is boosting your
willpower by realizing what sucks your energy unnecessary and
realizing where you need to channelize it to stand when, emotions, and behaviors which leads to destructive habits.
Self-control is just not the actions you perform but also the beliefs
and habits you form that helps you to make the productive process
smoother. It can be with any day to day life activity ranging from
your eating habits to sleeping habits even to talking habits 😉.
Self-discipline is investing your will power by investing time and
energy for where you want to be in life. And self-control is not
letting that will power drained in unnecessary things. Reading
this you might infer dude why so boring?...well boring only because
you haven't seen the other world or the other part of the story where
the world is beautiful with self-control which will discuss it next. A
small step to destiny is way stronger and greater than jumping like a
kangaroo on an uncertain path just in the pursuit of temporary
pleasures.
Self-control is vital for overcoming obsessions, fears, addictions,
and any kind of impulsive 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.
Well now answering the question...
Does life get boring with self-control?
And the answer is definitely no, the other part of the world is more
beautiful with love rather than lust. yes being addicted to a particular
mindset is what passion all about. But doing things repetitively just
for sake of pleasure and neglecting the consequences is a negative
passion which is the root of all evil. Self-control is about accepting
this fact and working towards it to come out of the loop. Well, what
makes life exciting and not boring the beliefs you build from childhood
because they are the glasses you see the world with, and self-control
plays a major role in shaping these beliefs and that too in a positive
way.
just imagine being around that negative kind of people with full of
problems to every solution and idea don't you feel mercy for them well
that's my friend wonders of self-control all about.you might ask then
what people with self-control does for fun well they love truly rather
than waiting to get over lust, they travel rather than confined to one
region, they engage and interact with people with similar vision and
mission. And that's what is my second hack for self-control. Now let's
answer one simple question ...
What is smartness?
Well, my definition of smartness is the ability of one to convince the
world about how intelligent you are, which means spending your energy
and willpower to stay focused and sharp to prove everything you do in a
similar fashion. Now, what if you don't want them to know that you are
intelligent, what happens then??? simple you save your willpower and
energy and lower your distractions level from being waste, this is what
self-control helps you gain with time. And that's the third hack you get
from today's episode.
Well, now we got a clear idea of what self-control is let's discuss
some hacks to how one can build self-control in their lives...
Building Self-Control!!!
To be honest there can't be such a guide to self-control even there is
a lot of presence of one on the internet. Because it is more of a person
to person thing and where is it you stand in your life. So, what am
gonna give it to you here is what might work for the majority and proved
to be successful in tried and tested.
- Identifying areas or places where you lack control.
- Eating, sleeping habits.
- Addiction to mobiles, computers.
- Watching shows, movies like a maniac.
- Gaming addiction.
- Toxic relations.
- Being angry and feeling irritated and frustrated all the time.
- Craving pleasure, dopamine addiction.
- Become aware of your feelings and uncontrolled emotions.
- Keep track of your thoughts and beliefs that affecting you and hurting you all time.
- Thinking but not Overthinking, just listing the pros and cons of your behaviors.
- Practicing affirmations that are must a definite for self-discipline too.
- I am in control of my reactions
- I am the manager of my life and god is my master.
- Day by Day I am reaching where I want to be with my Life by controlling emotions and feelings that hold me back.
- Self-control is fun and pleasure.

- Practicing Resilience.
- Distancing away from people who disturbs your well being for their own fame.
- If you are unable or break the stereotypes approach a mentor, a senior, or a counselor may be for some advice.
These might not be it may be many more remains undiscovered but for
beginners, that's enough. If you have your own such learning from story
or experience of yours do share below.
Now, that's it for the beginners...let's actually dive deeper to know
what are the hurdles to self-control. what stops one to be
self-control.
Repellents to self-control...
Why it is so difficult to build self-control???
- Lack of Knowledge and Purpose.
- Lack of desire to evolve and come out of comfort zone.
- Lack of willingness in breaking the stereotypes.
- Reacting without analyzing.
- Lack of faith in one's ability.
- Too much dependency on others.
- The setting of wrong beliefs from so long that is misshaping the new one.
These are some of the hurdles faced in one's pursuit of self-control.
But overcoming one is definitely will get you started your journey
with self-control.
Quoting, a Great Man that Once Said:
"Too much of something can be injurious and deadly...if not
balanced!!!"
That means what if one suffers from Over self-control... then the
scene will be as follows :
- A person will have difficulty in Relaxing
- Always Distancing with others.
- Has a Rigid Personality.
- Always Overly Focused on Details.
- Has a lack of feelings or suffers from displaying feelings
- Consider themselves always being responsible(Living with Guilt)
- Always trying to avoid risks.
Sad, Right...it is what it is, but things do change with time if
found the right motivation to deal with just keep your mind clear
and ventilated so that good and positive thoughts get inside very
well. And surrounding with positive people helps every time. The
best example of exaggerated self-control is my favorite character
Sheldon cooper. Why such a thing arises in the first places well some suffer from
heredity(fault in the genes) and the others due to lack of
socialism.
Now, after discussing the drawbacks let's settle for Benefits that
make self-control the most important and essential tool in one's life
for prospering.
