Self Regulating is a Thing!

~ Clearly Muddled Blog ~

Self regulating is a huge deal. It’s basically the ability to control behaviors, emotions, and thoughts, and to manage detrimental behaviors and impulses in order to achieve long term goals.  It often makes the difference in success or failure.

If you’d like a visual of what non-self regulating looks like, turn on the evening news. There are TONS of people that have agreed to show you.

I prompt and redirect Josh a lot, because he has a hard time staying on task and following through. I see him for all that he is and can be, even when he’s scattered. He’s forgetful, unreliable, inconsistent, brilliant, kind, and generous…all at the same time. Self Regulating 101. Bam!

And…I know control is a myth! Tell that to Anxiety!!
