Sometimes, you have to say “No” to yourself
We asked Dr. Jackson if there are times the person we have to say “No,” to, is ourselves. She said “Most definitely,” and brought up times when we want to behave impulsively. She says that when we act impulsively “Our brains are flooded with dopamine, adrenaline and endorphins, all feel-good chemicals in the brain and body. However, decisions made quickly or impulsively often lead to regret. Take time to stop and think, even of the future consequences of the impact of actions, before acting. Ask yourself ‘Will I feel good about this later?’”
