How do I control myself? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

CONTROLLING ONESELF IS NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE THING TO ACHIEVE.

Try to sit down and list down things that you think have taken control of your life (like over masturbation, eating, sex, shopping, gossiping, drugs, alcohol, etc.)

Then, find out the root cause of this action/s. What were you feeling before you got into this act? And why. Once you've identified your feelings, check your responses. And that response will determine your strength. Usually you were weak and obliged.

So, try to avoid situations that created that emotion that lead you to this "uncontrollable" act. Little by little, one day at a time, one situation at a time, so that you won't get overwhelmed. You will, later realize that you are able to control yourself.

Try to talk it over a trusted friend who will just be with you and pray with you.

ALL THE BEST.

Answer 2

Hi sonia,

Why do you want to control yourself. Instead channelise your thoughts and actions. Anyone trying control is enforcing stress on oneself. However, I can suggest a step by step method for you to control yourself, whatever be the area.

Step 1.
Understand controlling oneself after crossing the threshold is IMPOSSIBLE.

Step 2. Tonight before sleep or as early as possible take a paper and pen and start enlisting the areas or problems that made you ask this question. REMEMBER, you have to exhaust the problems and again try searching for problems.

Step 3. Write down reasons against all these. Remember THINKING IN THIS LINE will not yield results. You NEED TO WRITE down with pen/pencil on paper not on a computer screen.

Step 4. Go through the list of reasons - how many of them are originated from you? How many are caused by others?

Step 5. Why others caused you problem? Is it inadvertent or deliberate? Think from their perspective and decide how far you contributed?

Solutions: Decide to stay away from deliberate trouble makers. If you realise that most of the issues originate from you may not get agitated. So NO NEED TO CONTROL.

This is easier said than done. SO, understand the solution is not ready-made by tailor-made and the tailor has to be YOU and only YOU.

Good Luck

Answer 3

The bible says in Jeremiah 10:23, "It is not in man that walketh to control his own step." You can control yourself by turning your life over to God. Sometimes, we lose our tempers, lose our minds, and lose all sense of pride. But with God in our life we can go to Him and ask for temperance and control or whatever it may be that we desire. I believe God will give it to us if we are earnestly seeking to do His will. The bible says, "Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be open."
