LEARNING SELF-CONTROL WEBSITES
Wikipedia-Self Control
Self control is perceived in a few ways. One of which is philosophical and might be described as the exertion of one's
own will on their personal self - their behaviors, actions, thought processes. Much of this comes from the perception
of self and the ability to set up boundaries for that self.

We live in a society that seems whipped. Everyone appears to be addicted to something. Many professionals have
jumped on the bandwagon and promise solutions to every human condition--from overeating, to alcohol abuse, to
the tobacco habit, to gambling, to drug addiction, to pornography, and to a host of many other life-controlling
problems. And still, despite all the offered solutions, countless people are not getting better.
American Psychological Association (APA)-Self-Control
Self-control is like a muscle, and just like a muscle, it tires through use and needs to be strengthened or
replenished, suggests a study by psychologist Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, Eppes Professor of Psychology at Florida
State University.

Martin Henley has created a curriculum for teaching students the self-control skills they need to control impulses,
manage group situations, and adapt to school routines. The Teaching Self-Control curriculum includes role-plays,
simulations, learning center activities, and children's literature that can be used to teach those skills.
West Palm Beach Church
“A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls” (Proverbs 25:28). In biblical times,
the walls of the city were the most important aspect of defense from intruders. To have a breach in the walls was to
have a weakness such that the enemy could come in and strike. Recall in the days of Joshua that the army of Israel
marched around the walls as the Lord commanded and the walls crumbled down. With the walls down, victory over
the city was easy. A Valuable Lesson.
Running Empty
We like being in charge of our own lives, making our own decisions. It seems more honest and real than having our
identities determined by some group we belong to or blindly following some set of rules.
Success Consciousness
Awaking the wisdom and power within you. Self-control is the ability to control impulses and reactions, and is another
name for self-discipline. It is not some kind of negative and limiting behavior, as some people might think. When
self-control is used wisely and with common sense, it becomes one of the most important tools for self improvement
and for achieving success.
Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA)
This line of research extended for two decades, from initiation of the first clinical trial in 1974, to publication of
long-term follow-up results for four clinical trials in 1992. The central goal of these studies was to develop an
effective counseling method for problem drinkers who want to learn how to moderate their use of alcohol.

The very essence of our existence is control of self and of as much of our individual environments as is practical,
and for some more than is healthy. For a small percentage of humanity the concept of self-control is a great
challenge, while for an equal percentage at the other end of the spectrum it is a negligible challenge. No matter
which life form one examines, life and survival are dependent on control.

Mind Disorders
Self-control strategies are cognitive and behavioral skills used by individuals to maintain self-motivation and achieve
personal goals. Initially the skills may be learned from a therapist, text, or self-help book. However, the individual is
responsible for using these skills in real-life situations to produce the desired changes.
Self-Control is the exertion of one's own will on their personal self - their behaviors, actions, thought processes.
