Self-Control

Self-control or the ability to suppress impulses, emotions and actions to achieve long-term goals is the difference between us and other parts of the ancestors and animal kingdoms. Self-control is mainly rooted in our prefrontal cortex. This is much bigger for humans than for other mammals with similar brains. Because of the cortex of the forehead, you can plan and evaluate alternative actions rather than immediately reacting to all the impulses it appears. Ideally, please do not repent later.

The ability to demonstrate self-discipline is often referred to as will ability. Willpower allows us to turn our attention. It is the foundation of all kinds of achievements from school to work. Whether or not the intention is a finite resource, the theory called self-consumption has a big debate in science. Several well-known studies have shown that exercise will power places strong demands on mental energy - especially glucose storage, which is the fuel of choice for the brain - leading to the consumption or weakening of will. When we feel pressure, we are more likely to find chocolate biscuits, not when we feel the top of the world.

However, recently scientists have failed to reproduce several studies based on the concept of self-exhaustion. More research is in progress, but the final verdict on whether we can "starve" the will remains unseen

Original statement of theory. A series of verifiable hypotheses about self-regulating nature, generality of effects associated with low self-control, long-lasting low self-control stability, and the origin of self-regulation are presented. Criticism against empirical criminology

What is self restraint making it hard to count on? Self-control is the skill we have (honesty), but we tend not to give ourselves almost any trust. When Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues surveyed 2 million people and asked them to rank their strengths according to 24 different skills, self-control is too short, so ultimately self-control It fell. When it becomes self-restraint, we can concentrate easily on failure. Why can not they be? Self-control is an effort to achieve the goal. You can not control yourself - fail. If you want to avoid eating fried potatoes after dinner, you want to lose a few pounds so your success on Monday and Tuesday night is only because you eat 4 sky calories You will succumb to temptation with failure, failure is better than your success
