Self Control

Too much sun will make the well run dry. Try not to indulge irresponsibly in pleasurable activities if that’s your only objective in life you are headed for a serious case of emptiness and unhealthy stress. Balance in life produces more favorable results. Let’s touch on some consequences of overindulgence in a couple different areas. First, when people are motivated by pleasure as it pertains to eating, drinking and smoking the brain’s reward system may fuel obesity, alcoholism, cancer or heart disease. Research reinforced the theory that mindful eating, consuming food slowly and paying attention to its texture and flavor could prevent overeating and yield other health benefits. The same theory can be said about two other categories when you overindulge you burn yourself out and you don’t enjoy it as much once your body becomes immune to alcohol and nicotine. There are several other psychological reasons that can play a part in the behavior of overindulgence but here’s a universal solution in general terms that may or may not help; try to eat healthier, exercise more, drink lots of water, snack more as opposed to eating a large meal in the evening and last but not least get plenty of sleep. Please keep in mind physical appetites can be attributed to our ability to self-control other aspects of our lives such as (lust, anger, gossip and greed).  ~Balance Due
