OR SELF-CONTROL:


Self-control is a set of behaviors which:

Accepts the reality that the only thing in life which you can successfully change and control is yourself.

Keeps in check all self-destructive, addictive, obsessive, compulsive, irrational, and unacceptable behaviors.

Gives you a sense of personal mastery, autonomy, and competency over your own life.

Is under your control and power to direct and orchestrate with no need for interference or manipulation from others.

Makes you the master of your own destiny because it keeps in check those barriers and obstacles which are a threat to your overall success in life.

Is a middle ground between perfectionism and laxity in self care.

Results in your life having a balance and focus by helping you to cope with new challenges in life as they come.

Helps you to keep your over-emotional responses in check or moderation.

Helps you to open yourself up from nonfeeling or pulled-in emotions so that you can have a healthy emotional life.

Is the foundation for healthy coping and contributes to your accepting personal responsibility for your life.

Keeps your life in moderation, helping you to avoid extremes in any direction.

Is the focus of the efforts to let go of the uncontrollables and unchangeables in your life so that you can concentrate on yourself.

Eliminates the need for you to be manipulative, helpless, fixing others, intimidating, overdependent or a caretaker of others.

Helps you to be detached from others and to keep your relationships in a healthy balance of give and take.

Reflects your inner desire to grow up into a mature, responsible adult.

Self - control


Explanation:
