On his way home after hiking, a human visited a pub in Dongseon-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, for a glass of beer. He ordered his favorite dried fish with beer as a side dish. However, the side dishes served on the plate did not have the head he liked. During a war of words over fish without a head, a customer, a human, hit his owner and was eventually caught by the police.
Recently, there have been a series of incidents that occur due to the inability to control emotions over such trivial matters. This is caused by impulse control disorder in which the instinctive desire is too strong or the self-defense function is weakened, which is a kind of mental disorder.

Skills to control impulsive personality
Will you get what you want now or will you sacrifice now while waiting for a better future? Of course, some people choose to enjoy it right now, but others choose to endure it for greater rewards. One of the important things here is self-regulation. The ability to control and wait for oneself. Based on a recent paper published in "Trends in Cognitive Sciences" in the psychology journal Psychology Today, we have introduced several ways to develop self-regulation skills.
First, to control your mind and develop patience on your own, you have to make it easier to persevere. For this purpose, let's refer to the following technology.
Skill 1
Technology 1. Distract attention. For example, if you have a phone that you are waiting for, don't just look at your cell phone and find other ways to listen to music, watch TV, or find something fun and distracting.
Skill 2
Don't make big decisions when you need something (thirsty, tired, sick, etc.). For example, not shopping for groceries when you are hungry or not answering important e-mails when you are tired. Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to resist immediate compensation, such as buying junk food or sending sharp answers to important emails.
Skill 3
Be patient in advance. In other words, they decide to wait for greater rewards in the future long before they face temptation.
Skill 4
Recall the steps to be taken later to receive greater rewards. If you don't plan or think about it in advance, you just want to choose an immediate option to get your work done quickly.
Skill 5
Have a positive mood. Studies show that it's easier to endure when you're happy than when you are sad.
Skill 6
Express waiting differently in a way that emotionally halves attraction. If you are impatient to wait, you are thinking of reducing the attractiveness of the object. If you're waiting for hot chocolate and you're craving it too much, you think it's a black liquid, not a warm and sweet drink. Or you can use this method even if you want to eat so much and have to control yourself due to dieting.
