Do you act impulsively?
Are you someone who acts without thinking? Do you act impulsively? Do you want to feel good RIGHT NOW? When you feel upset, disappointed, vulnerable or angry do you feel that you need outside help with your emotions in the form of chocolate, shopping, alcohol or cigarettes etc, etc….? Why do I act Impulsively?
Impulsive thinking is always about changing your feelings; wanting to feel better or happy, right here, right now. This want or need will drive the person to perform a particular behaviour in order to fulfil this need.
Their focus is on feeling better right now instead of what is the best way to act, long term. Impulsive thinkers tend to be black and white which even further obstructs their decision making.
Do I really need this donut? Can I afford to spend this money? Will harming myself help me feel better, long term?Asking yourself these questions before acting impulsively will help you gain a little perspective on your situation. Therefore, you are much more likely to make the right decision than making an impulsive one and regretting it later!
