Episode Highlights
What is Self Control?
- Self-control is the ability to discipline ourselves, weeding out the behaviors we don’t want to repeat so we can make room for self-improvement.
How Can I Start Developing My Self Control Habits?
- Make yourself aware of the costs in your life. Track your spending, calories, or whatever other metric makes sense for your goal.
- By understanding where you are at with something you also become aware of what it will cost you to engage with that activity.
