RiseUp - Live Joy Your Way

Do you feel like you’re always at a tug-o-war with your desires vs. your responsibilities? For instance, do you find it hard to say no? Do you consistently do things that don’t serve you even though you have every intention of doing ‘the right thing’? If so, you might be struggling with self-control or have issues with setting strong boundaries for yourself.

A perfect example of poor self-control can be when you’re trying to save money that month, but end up overspending on non-needed items just to make you feel good or because you were a bit impulsive/wanted it at the moment. Another example can be that you go through a loop of promising yourself that you’ll go to the gym, only to skip it at the last minute and not go at all.

There are three types of self-control: Emotional control, impulsive control, and movement control.
