How do you control yourself from vices?

Well, we should control ourselves for the reasons that you mentioned...because bad habits affect our health, our career, and relationships, our whole life!! So, if something is affecting your whole life in a bad way, that is reason enough to change it. Now, that being said, do I control my bad habits? No, I don't, but I really need to. You are making me feel so bad about myself right now. I have a few bad habits that I need to rid myself of in order to live my best life. Addiction to myLot...I'm not there yet, but I think I'm getting close How do we control ourselves? Well, one has to get control of their mind, because our mind controls the body. We have to get our minds right, tell ourselves to do the right things. I guess one will not change their behavior until they are really ready, so the key to controlling one's self is being ready and willing to change.

I have had to lose a lot of weight recently, and because of this I think that I can talk a little bit about this subject. One of the things that I have to make sure is that I stay busy. If I do this then I am able to get through the day without eating unhealthy snacks, however if it gets to the point where I have nothing to do it means that I actually snack because I'm bored rather than any other reason. If you are addicted to something then the best thing that you could do would be to ease yourself away from them slowly as you will find it harder if you just try to stop them altogether.

While I do drink once in a while, it is just to socialize. I don't consider it a vice and I actually dislike the taste. I also don't smoke because it makes me feel sick when I try it.

hi leateagee we must use our conscienses to be our g uides. for instance you know you like sweets but no.one you are diabetic, and nu. 2 all that sugar can just make you fat so you heed your conscience and do not gorge on candy. portion control one or two pieces.In re. to career you know that if you do not do your best it will go against your record and if you take a lot of days off you could get fired so you heed your conscience and do not play around but really do your best at work.re relationships you again heed your conscience and do the little things that make relationships work,. you c an control yourself if you have a good conscience and listen to it.

Start from self discipline, then determination. It's not easy to avoid things that we love so much, it's like an addiction that we can hardly live without. But if we are determined enough to get away from things that may harm us, our health/career/family and our life- there is no impossible if we really want to change for a better us.

A lot of self control can be sometimes difficult but if you will think of what less money we have in our pockets, we would rather think of what better things we should buy from it most especially for the needs of the family.

Make my self enough first.

Lea, since from childhood, i learned a lot through my parents as what is good and bd habit. Firstly, it comes from self discipline. We must know how to control our envy of everything that we saw in our daily life. We must know what is enough is enough. Having more of it is always considered as greedy. Even for food and drink that we take daily, we should always know how much intake is healthy for our body. i only come online and spend time in Mylot when i am free from my offline matters. Have fun posting in here...

Well, mylot is the only exception of all the addictions. I don't have much vices, I only indulge myself with liquor twice a month and I think it's not that bad. Yes, I love sweets and I can't control them. My aching tooth can only control my eating. Have a nice weekend!

If we consider eating sweets as a vice then I could not say something about controlling it because I'm addicted to sweets. Well, if you really focused on what you will do you can really control any vice that you have. However, I can't control doing mylot specially that I already had my first pay out.

First, you have to understand the consequences of your vices. Ingesting too much sugar would be very bad to your health. Not instantly but in the long run. Smoking can definitely kill you someday. You have to understand that you are not the only one affected by these vices. Your family can also be affected since when your health will be failing, they would also be helping in your hospitalization. And you would be a burden to them not just to yourself. And most especially your spending habits will pose a big problem to your finance.

Hello Leateagee, true, vices are all over, but it is a matter of choice wether to give in or not, i mean it's up to you if you're going to control yourself for all those vices or not, you are the only person that can say "no" to them. if you say that its already affecting not just you but your relationship to the people around you, then, wouldn't be a time to think to minimmize those addiction? like i've said you are the only person that can say "no" and i believed you already know what are the consequences you might have before going into certain situation, just be responsible for your actions. Happy Mylotting!

Our desire is the reason for our problems in our life. If we have the ability to control our desire and emotions we can avoid a lot of problems and win over them easily. But it is not an easy thing to control our emotions and desires. Since human heart is filled with lot lot of dreams and desires. We have the ability to control our desire and emotion. As we are the boss of our heart and mind and can take decisions which is good for us. Nothing is impossible for us if we have self confidence and self control. First of all we must trust our ability. We all know what is good and what is bad as well as pros and cons of most of the things. As we are learning a lot of things in our life from our own experience or from other persons experience. We must be wise and avoid the unwanted dreams and desires in our life. If we go behind our unwanted dreams and try our maximum to fulfill it surely we are spoiling our life with our own knowledge. There is nothing wrong in addicted with good things. If our addiction will give good things to us and we get benefits from it, we can do it in our life. But if our addiction is wrong and we are getting issues with it, we must try our maximum to come out from it. We can come out from our bad habits with our determination. Human beings only have the sixth sense which is the great difference from us while comparing the animals. We must use the sixth sense and do the things which is good for us and keep distance from the things which is bad for us. Control your emotions with your will power and come out from unwanted thoughts to avoid unwanted problems in your life.

we ourselves can only control our vices. We must be focused and have determination from quitting to our vices. we should be strong enough.

If you have an addiction its best to recognize how and who it effects. If you spend too much money on something it becomes a vice, too much drink and you'll affect parts of your life. We should all use moderation, set limits and stick to them. If its myLot, an hour a day, set a timer and stop when it goes off. Its also about will power, don't over indulge because then you will burn out and not enjoy it anymore. There are too many other things to do than just one thing.
