Self-control

[Santiago Ram]

I am convinced that Self-control is the most important attribute for Spiritual Awakening, Career advancement and Conflict resolution.

How do you train Self-control?

How can I develop great levels of Self-discipline?

Why do you start so many threads in such a short space of time. I counted 10 threads currently in your name. Do you even marinate on the responses. Is this an obsession. Maybe start a journal to help with the recurring thoughts.

Self-control is important for keeping your sanity. Unless you can convince a space kangaroo or two.

Maybe OCD.

Put blockades between me and unhealthy stuff. Or allow myself to have one bite of the cake and no more...for me another insight is that action starts with a simple thought. If you notice the thought that you want to take action, either towards or away from something, then you can repeat that thought over and over mentally and verbally. Then I just force myself to go where I would go if I were going to do that thing, then force myself to do a tiiiiiiiiiny start. Once I do the tiny start the rest is easy. Just getting started is hard so finding ways to leverage the start points is useful I find

@Santiago Ram duude you have to be willing to do hard things. Practice makes perfect. You can start by doing things that require a small amount of self control and work your way up.

Step 1 is to know who is the self that needs controlling. Is it ego or is it god? To achieve this, get to bed and up before the world does and sit in silence. One you know the real you, you seamlessly abide and act on your true behalf. The fool who existed before who needed discipline is long gone.
