In this episode, we look at how to build self-control. Get excited because this is tiny leaps.

Big J. a big thing. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes, where I share simple strategies

you can use to get more out of your life. My name is Greg Klunis and in this episode we're looking at how to build and

improve your self-control. This is such an important topic, one that I feel like doesn't really get enough coverage.

We definitely don't talk about it enough,

but it's such a huge part of improving your life.

It's such a huge part of building new habits,

of doing things that we know work.

Because at the end of the day, self-control is the ability to discipline ourselves, weeding

out the behaviors we don't want to repeat, so we can make

room for self-improvement. This ability to control our behavior is primarily rooted in the

prefrontal cortex of the brain.

Also known as the logic center of the brain,

this is the area that activates when we need to plan something,

solve a problem, or make a decision. And in a world of instant

notifications, fast living, and the ability to order pretty much anything you want at

any time with the click of a button on Amazon, instant gratification runs rampant.

It's a huge problem.

And our brains love it.

We are literally addicted to the dopamine that is so prevalent in our world today.

It can be a huge problem.

So much of what allows personal development to work is the ability to get rid of old bad habits and build new ones that actually help us make progress.
