How to Build Self‐Control Tips You will not find changes instantly, so have patience and stay calm. Make self-denial a habit and not just a trend. If you intend to truly change yourself, you must make these steps a constant guide for the rest of your life. Even though you may feel righteous for sharing your lunch or doing your homework for a week, if you lapse back into your bad habits, all of your hard work has been in vain. Write down what you want to achieve, for each day of the week chose a point to focus on, practicing self-control in baby steps is less overwhelming and you are more likely to stick to your changes. Dont forget to sleep well. It will keep you healthy and mentally fit, as well as giving you a break from the stress of thinking about your behavior. Forgive yourself when you slip up. Humans are not perfect. Every moment is a new opportunity to start again. Do not procrastinate or else it will become harder to stick to your new routine. Understand that you function based on incentives and reasons. Make sure you understand to give your self rewards and recognize the logic behind whatever it is you are doing Instead of removing the subject of your desire from your presence, deliberately challenge yourself with this subject. Have an addiction to television? Turn on the television and avert your eyes and watch a shelf or a book for two hours. Not only will you gain a stronger will, but you will also feel the strength of your addiction begin to fade. Give yourself a light punishment system. For example, if you bite your nails, then every time you catch yourself, go do a chore or a favor or chew some gum to keep your mind off the habit and avoid falling into another habit. #JOMMYJAY
