Impulsivity

10/12/2025

Impulse spending can sneak up on anyone, leaving you with buyer’s remorse or an empty wallet. One simple strategy to regain control is the “24-hour Wishlist Rule.”

Before making a purchase, write it down or add it to a wishlist and wait 24 hours. If you still genuinely want the item tomorrow, it’s likely worth buying. If not, you’ve saved yourself money, stress, and clutter—giving your future self a break.

This small delay helps build mindful spending habits, reduces impulsivity, and strengthens your decision-making over time.

Emotional eating during the holidays doesn’t mean you lack self-control. Often, it’s your body and mind signaling that you’re tired, disconnected, or overextended. Instead of shame, try approaching these moments with insight and curiosity. Understanding why you reach for comfort foods can help you respond with care rather than guilt, creating healthier habits and more mindful choices.

Before you react, scroll, or spend impulsively, take a moment to check in with yourself. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly, inhale deeply for four counts—not to stop your actions, but to simply notice how you feel. This small pause helps you connect with your body, recognize your emotions, and make more intentional choices instead of acting on impulse.

Practicing this simple check-in regularly can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and help you respond rather than react in challenging situations.

Do you ever find yourself reaching for food when you’re stressed, sad, or even excited? Emotional eating is more common than you might think, and it often sneaks in when life feels overwhelming. Both difficult emotions—like stress, anxiety, or frustration—and positive emotions—like celebration or relief—can trigger urges to eat, sometimes in ways that feel out of control.

Why does this happen? When emotions spike, your brain’s reward system can hijack your decision-making, making immediate comfort (like food) feel more appealing than long-term wellbeing. Impulsivity plays a huge role here: even when you know you might regret it later, the pull to soothe or reward yourself in the moment can be strong.

The good news is that you can regain control. Understanding your triggers, recognizing the patterns behind emotional eating, and learning practical strategies to manage impulses are key first steps.

If you struggle with stress, work pressure, or emotional decision-making, our programs at Impulsivity
offer science-backed tools to help you break cycles of emotional eating, strengthen your self-control, and make choices that support both your mental and physical health.

Take the first step today—your future self will thank you.

Your brain in December isn’t the same brain you had in July. With more tasks, less rest, and higher expectations, it’s no wonder your impulses feel louder and harder to manage. Holiday stress, deadlines, and social obligations can overwhelm your decision-making and emotional control.

The key is to start the month curious, not critical. Notice how your mind reacts under pressure, practice small moments of self-awareness, and give yourself permission to prioritize rest and reflection. Understanding your impulsivity can help you navigate the season with more calm, clarity, and balance.

Impulses aren’t random—they have a purpose. Every time you feel the urge to buy something, eat, or scroll endlessly, your brain is trying to meet a specific need:

Buying → excitement

Eating → comfort

Scrolling → escape

Understanding the “job” your impulses are trying to do is the first step to responding in healthier ways. Instead of shaming yourself for giving in, you can learn strategies to meet these needs without regret, build self-awareness, and gain control over your choices.

Start understanding your impulses today and take the first step toward healthier habits.

Ever wondered why helping professionals burn out so easily?
Because the pattern started long before you.

1️⃣ It began with frustrated idealism.
1960s helpers entered the field with fire and hit systems that wouldn’t move.
Purpose met bureaucracy.
Hope slowly collapsed into helplessness.
(Maslach & Leiter, 1997)

2️⃣ Then care got bureaucratized.
Human work became checklists, metrics, and protocols.
Meaning shrank.
Mechanization grew.
Burnout followed.

3️⃣ Emotional labor exploded unrecognized.
Professionals were expected to give more empathy, hold more pain,
and receive less support than ever.
This imbalance is still one of the strongest predictors of burnout.
(Morris et al., 1996)

✨ Burnout is not a personal failure.
It’s a historical inheritance passed through generations of helpers who were asked to offer more humanity than their systems could hold.

But the pattern can be interrupted.

That’s why we created Holistic Recharge —
a 6-night luxury retreat in Bali for helping professionals ready to restore the parts of themselves their work has borrowed for years.

Where your nervous system finally exhales.
Where evidence-based recovery replaces survival mode.

🌿 Your reset begins in Bali.
Secure your spot, your future self will thank you.
