How to use "Self-control" in context?
Self-control is a conscious effort made to restrain impulses and maintain calm and composure. Self-control is what allows us to restrain our emotions and behaviors in order to make sound decisions. When we lack self-control, we can easily become overwhelmed by our emotions and act on irrelevant or impulsively harmful impulses.
To be successful in self-control, it is important to be aware of our emotions and impulses, and to have a defined purpose for why we are restraining ourselves. Overcoming self-control can be difficult, but with practice and patience, we can control our behavior and achieve our goals.
