Self-control: we could all use more of it. Even those of us who are best at exercising self-control on a daily basis have so-called hot triggers, the special circumstances that would make us, too, lose our cool and start to behave less than rationally.

For instance, if you want to lose weight, it’s all the food that you can’t help but eat, no matter how hard you try. If you want to save money, it’s that store you just can’t help but enter every time you walk by, or that item you seem to “add to cart” every time you spot it on your e-retailer of choice. In my case, it happens to be the internet.

Something very much lacking in today’s society.I think part of what you are describing is impatience, self control is different.

Self control is knowing how to control the impluses that lead us to eat more than we should or say the wrong thing at the wrong time or to yell in a fight when it is better to remain calm and speak softly.
