self-control [Theme] Page 2

Astonishing experiments, conducted by psychologist Roy Baumeister and his colleagues clearly show that all kinds of arbitrary effort - cognitive, emotional, or physical - use at least part of the General reserve of mental energy. In the experiments of Baumeister the tasks were performed not simultaneously but sequentially. It was noted that the effort of will or self-control is tiring: if you force yourself to do something, then to the next job, the desire to control themselves is hampered or reduced. This phenomenon is called ego depletion.

If too much to worry about as you get worse you will cope with the task, because short-term memory will be overloaded with useless worrying thoughts. The conclusion is simple: for self-control requires attention and effort.

Fortunately, mental work is not always unpleasant; people often have made significant efforts over long periods of time without using will power. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did more than others for the study of such natural attention, and proposed the name "flow" has firmly entered the language. Experienced the feeling of flow describe it as "a state of deep, relaxed concentration, where one loses the sense of time itself, and their own problems," and the joy experienced in this state are so compelling that Csikszentmihalyi has called it an "optimal experience." A variety of classes - from painting to racing - produces a state of flow, and for some authors even writing a book becomes an optimal experience. The well stream separates the two forms of effort: concentration on the task and systematic control of attention. Riding a motorcycle at 150 miles per hour or a game of chess, of course, require a lot of effort. However, to hold the attention of these all-consuming tasks in a state of flux self-control is not needed, so to perform them frees up additional resources.

To maintain a coherent chain of reasoning - even leisurely - needed discipline. If you measure how many times an hour writing I check emails or climb into the refrigerator, it is possible to conclude that I don't want to do writing activities and that I needed more self-control.

Human weaknesses often stem from an inability to control desire, but strong people are able to restrain their impulses.

Ruling over what is going on around her, she tries to provide a sense of security. No shocks, no surprises, no feelings.

Self-control combined with guile - what could be worse.

Sauron is deprived of his power over all that was outside it, but on Finrod was still overbearing.

Power over always one-sided.

Inner chaos should not to be shown outside.
(Don't let inner turmoil affect the appearance).
The Turmoil on the inside was t show on the out.

To help I couldn't and were angry. And when I was angry, then twisted his anger tight and hidden away.

If you don't eat a large piece, I would say the big word.

If you control your physical body, fifteen to twenty percent of your life and destiny are in your hands.
If you control the mind, to sixty percent of my life and destiny are in your hands.
If you learn life energy is one hundred percent life and destiny are in your hands.

Always remember, Kojak, that's what self-control distinguishes a creature of a higher order from the lower. Self-control!
