How to Have Better Self-Control

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Editor Posted in Self-Improvement .

Self-control is one’s ability to regulate his/her emotions to increase desirable behaviors while also avoiding the undesirable ones.

Self-control is holding out on the hawker food binging to improve your weight loss efforts, it’s walking by your favorite clothing brands and not spending anything to save money, and many more. Of course, sometimes we can get pretty lax with ourselves and end up forgetting all about self-control! So, here are some tips!

Make plans ahead of time

Before anything else, it will be good to have a goal first. This is so that you have something to work towards when it comes to improving your self-control. It can be something like not going to the mall to buy clothes after each payday in the next 6 months.

Planning ahead will make it easier for you to achieve your goals because you at least know what you have to do to achieve them. In addition to that, you also know what you have to do in case you encounter situations that will test your self-control!

Stay away from things that may tempt you

If you find yourself not being able to resist the temptation yet, the logical thing to do is to simply stay away from anything that can trigger that temptation in you. If you have an unhealthy obsession with hawker food already, then stay away from hawker centres for the time being.

This is a simple and effective way to improve your self-control, slowly but surely. Once you get used to it, you can try going to/ doing those triggers to see how much you’ve improved.

Practice in smaller, less risky situations

Another great way to improve your self-control is to practice it when you have a better command of the environment you’re in. For example, for the situation given earlier about not keeping self-control over hawker food.

Once you get used to it, you can start going to hawker centres without buying food just as a mental exercise. In essence, just think of your self-control as a muscle. If you’re able to put yourself in situations where you can test your self-control and succeed, that should already be a great sign!

Delayed gratification

All in all, it all comes down to delayed gratification. Basically, delayed gratification is the act of resisting impulses in order to get a better reward in the long-term. It is our ability to fight the temptation of getting something immediately so that we get something even better in the future.

Of course, this applies to different aspects like diet, spending money, and many more. And if you think about self-control, it really focuses on the capability of an individual to wait before getting what he/she wants.

Here’s Why You Should Try Practicing Jiu-Jitsu

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Editor Posted in Self-Improvement, Sports .

Over the years, jiu-jitsu has grown in popularity in Singapore. Though people initially think of jiu-jitsu as this intimidating martial art, that’s not the case at all! Let’s just jump straight into why you should try jiu-jitsu out!

It’s a great self-defense tool

Saying jiu-jitsu is a “great” self-defense tool is an understatement. In essence, defending yourself is more about subduing the other person instead of actually striking him. This could be just some drunk guy who’s starting to make a scene and you mainly have no reason to hurt him.

The techniques you learn in jiu-jitsu can help you subdue a person whether you’re both standing up or on the ground. It’s a great way to avoid getting hurt while also dealing less harm to the other person.

It’s an intense yet rewarding workout

One thing about jiu-jitsu is that it’s a different kind of physically-demanding martial art. Though it involves a lot of takedowns and grappling, it’s not just about strength. You improve your flexibility and your cardio just as well. Before you even notice it, you’ll see that you’ve developed toned muscles in just a few months or at least burned off a few hundred calories in a week.

It promotes mental toughness

When you’re on the ground getting grappled by someone much better than you, you will be tested physically and mentally more so. First of all, you’ll be taught basic techniques. It’s really up to you how you’re going to use these techniques to beat your opponent.

As you progress and train for longer, of course, you’ll learn more strategies as well. The difference now is that you’re trying to think of moves while someone is grappling you or mounting on you from behind. It helps you build mental toughness you certainly won’t get anywhere else.

It’s for anyone!

Men, women, children, 4-year-olds, 40-year-olds, anyone should be able to practice jiu-jitsu. One main reason behind this is that it’s a system basically tailored for the smaller, weaker individual. In jiu-jitsu, you’ll take other practitioners bigger and stronger than you but you’ll still have a variety of ways to beat them. This is why it’s appealing to anyone of any age, size, or sex.

It can help you become a better person overall

In summary, practicing jiu-jitsu can be a bridge to self-development. Not only are you staying physically and mentally fit, but you also learn many valuable lessons. One is that you’ll have the confidence to protect yourself from those bigger and stronger than you.

Another is that you’ll learn to anticipate and accept failure gracefully. No matter if you’re doing this competitively or as a hobby, you can definitely pick up some worthwhile learnings and experiences.
