Hello beautiful people. TikTok and other social media have mastered the secret to successfully confuse your cerebrum with audio-visual stimulants.
If you mistakenly press one video on Facebook reels, you can end up spending one hour there. Same with TikTok. They make it so that the videos you watch are what you want by targeting you by collecting info from your searches, calls, and what you read online or pictures you tap.
Because the cerebrum is the weakest part of your self-control, you must be careful how you expose it to dangers, you can weaken it to the point that you can no longer control anything.
That is where addiction comes in. Addiction to food, porn, sex, and so on.
So how do you self-regulate? How do you control your impulses?
- Recognize that your five senses are always under attack and be careful what you expose them to and how you abuse them.
- Control what you say about yourself. Try to have a set of standards you will not break before you encounter a test and if you fail, set a punishment. Setting a standard when you are face to face with the test will prove that you will fail. Eg. I will not look back at any woman's bombom. If I do, I will deny myself of this, this, and that.
- Create delayed gratification. This is very crucial, train yourself not to enjoy some things immediately no matter how much you want them. It will help your Cerebrum gain some confidence. It will boost your self-control and you will be able to say no when the time comes.
- Always think before acting and have alternatives. The cerebrum is a boy boy, so most of the time doesn't want to think, just wants to do what it is told to do, you must force the cerebrum to think by asking it questions. Why am I doing this? What is the benefit of doing this? What else can I do aside from this? What are the consequences of doing this? What is involved if I decide to do it? Etc.
You must take your time to consider each question and find an answer to it because when you have the knowledge, the next thing you will need to do is to enforce it.
