10. 3 Types of self-control
• Impulse control
• What it means: Impulse control is being able to stop and think
before acting. Impulse control lets you think through
consequences before they push to the front of the line or run
into the street without looking.
• A person with self-control can pause, imagine what might
happen — I could get in trouble or I could get hurt — and make
a different choice.
11. • Emotional control
• What it means: Emotional control is the ability to manage
feelings. As people get older, most can cope with a minor
disappointment or criticism and move on. They don’t get
distracted or overwhelmed by their feelings.
• But people who struggle with emotional control might find it
hard to get past something upsetting. That’s true even if it’s
small, like losing a game or doing poorly on a test. They
overreact, and their bad moods may last a long time.
• Positive emotions are also hard for some people to control. They
They might get overexcited and have trouble calming down
from a happy mood.
12. • Movement control
• What it means: Movement control is the ability to manage how
our body moves and when. This type of self-control helps
people sit still when they need to. It helps them stay out of
other people’s personal space. Having movement control makes
it much easier to do what is asked of them, like sitting through a
meal or waiting in line.
• All people have trouble with movement control at some point.
It’s hard to hold still when you’re so full of energy and
excitement. But most people outgrow that restlessness over
time.
15. • Set Clear Goals:
• Clearly define specific goals and objectives that require self-control.
16. • Practice Mindfulness:
• Mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and
meditation, can help individuals develop self-control.
17. • Break Tasks into Smaller Steps:
• Large tasks can be overwhelming and lead to impulsive or
procrastinating behavior
18. • Practice Self-Care:
• Taking care of physical and emotional well-being is essential for self-
control. Prioritize sleep, healthy eating, regular exercise, and
relaxation activities to maintain optimal self-control.
19. • Seek Support :
• Engaging in supportive relationships and seeking help can enhance
self-control.
