We all have it. Raging impulses running through our veins. If you’ve reached a level of meditation in which your own awareness has taken awareness of your every behavioral pattern, then you’ll know for sure when you’re being impulsive.

Easier said than done, when having that rush of excitement or whatever it is in order to seek a stimulation we know will only satisfy us for a very small portion of time we’ll still proceed to pursue whatever it is we are pursuing because the current is strong and willpower is weak.

Be it stress eating, partying or drugs. We know one thing is for sure, the moment will be enjoyed but in the long run we will regret.

Let me tell you something that works for me certain times whenever this feeling comes up. BREATHING. Probably even meditating at that precise moment. I need the most objective version of myself with me in this moment. The one that will let me know that the ways of discipline are to be respected because they are clearly gratifying and are what allows me to develop my higher self.

So when feeling this, take insight, talk to yourself.

And last but not least, through this I don’t mean to say I always control my impulses, BULLSHIT. I have impulses most of the days of the week I can’t get ahold of. But there are certain weeks I do way better than others and I immediately look back at the good focused dude from back then and make him come back to present.

We’re all humans. I’m no mentor, I’m just here to help.
