Self Control

"Self-control separates us from our ancient ancestors and the rest of the animal kingdom, thanks to our large prefrontal cortex. Rather than respond to immediate impulses, we can plan, we can evaluate alternative actions, and we can refrain from doing things we'll regret. We can also take advantage of these innately human abilities by developing wisdom and willpower."
                                                                                                            -Psychology Today

Yes, that is a motivational quote.

Thanks to this quote, I have the courage and gained control to do one hugely difficult task.

Killing off Civilization V and wiped it off from my lappie.














 I tell you this game damn addictive sial.

That is simple, kind of. The hard part is deleting the saved games.

Curbing addiction is what it is. And you need self-control. Seether sang it best in No Shelter: If we don't help ourselves, we'll fall.

I've seen many fell, first hand. WoW, Facebook games. Not to mention the typical culprits like drugs and sex.

Like any other addiction, there is always a withdrawal period, and I have taken the easy way out once by reinstalling it again. Let's wait and see if I can get through it this time.
