Building self Control

Step 1:Meditate regularly to clear your mind of confusion. A calm mind is more capable of maintaining self-control under stressful circumstances than a disorganized mind.Step 2:Write down specific goals for yourself, such as refraining from cursing while driving. List the steps you'll take to meet those goals, such as listening to calm music, leaving for destinations early or substituting acceptable language when frustrated.Step 3:Review your goals weekly to determine your progress. Once you've met goals in one area, set new goals at a higher level.Step 4:Keep a journal of your daily activities. Notice events that precede a decline in self-control. Try to avoid these circumstances if possible. Increase participation in activities that make you happy.Step 5:Practice positive self-talk techniques. Instead of thinking,"I'm already late, so there's no point in trying anymore." think, "This is late, but I'm getting it done and following through with a commitment."Step 6:Slow your response time by taking several deep, cleansing breaths before reacting. Develop a thoughtful look for these moments, during which you take a mental vacation.Step 7:Find an acceptable outlet for stress. Sports and other high energy activities may help. Also, consider stress-reducing activities, such as yoga.Tips & WarningsTry to counter every negative thought with three positive thoughts.

    Hello again and again my dear ....

    You are always right , i like this :Try to counter every negative thought with three positive thoughts. It is really nice one and as we all know that being positive always makes a geart different with people and your life .
    Self esteem makes the one feel strong to do anything he thinks it is right and defend his thoughts and opinions without any fear that it could be wrong or cause problems .

    Thanx Emi
