What Do You Think About This Behavior?

this is the Joo underground podcast number 116 sitting with Echo Charles and I'm going to discuss with you impulsive behavior because think about what impulsive behavior does to people yeah I I was thinking about you know we're we're in the middle of the deaf reset right now and I was thinking about how often we make mistakes because we do something that's impulsive MH it's a it can create some real problems for people yeah impulsive behavior so I went to WebMD yeah got some webmd.com um some of the things that impulsivity can cause is things like

aggressive behavior restlessness interrupting others being easily distracted breaking the law destroying things a hard time saving money inappropriate [Music] remarks angry outbursts and lack of forethought so these are the kind of things by the way it didn't mention a donut sure which I think is real high on the impulsive also what about reaching for your pH phone oh yeah cuz you want to check the gram right that's an impulsive behavior right yeah am I right you are right now look there's there's actual psychological conditions that can cause these things like bipolar disorder ADHD so there's

there's a certain level of impulsive behavior where it like wrecks someone's life MH and I get that but I I kind of want to talk about just more of the things that work that we're thinking of that you and I are thinking of hey ate a donut shouldn't pulled through the drive-thru you know what I mean yes sir I do uh spent bought that thing that I didn't need kind of more normal impulsive things maybe they don't wreck our lives but they definitely pull us off the path and look here's the thing if you have

some of those more more strong impulsive behaviors that are causing major issues in your life impulsive gambling impulsive spending you're running up your credit like if you're out control there's that's a different scenario where you need to get some help some professional help but for for more normal scenarios I was just trying to figure out or I looked up to try and see what kind of advice they give so one of the terms that they used is mindfulness mindfulness which means you're paying attention to what's going on I guess I guess that's the way it's

I guess that's what it means you're you're you're aware of what's Happening recognizing the impulsive behavior before it occurs which to me is the same thing I I read about which is knowing what your red flags are if you're going to lose your temper you got to know what those red flags are if you're going to spend money you got to know what those red flags are what's that feeling that you're getting you know one of the things I've said about spending money do you have you ever built anything yeah oh yeah that's right you

make videos sure seriously you make a video you get done with the finished product do you have a feeling of satisfaction oh yeah yeah or you build something at your house yeah yeah slingshot slingshot super good when you build something you get a certain level of satisfaction but in this day and age we very seldom build things right because everything's so we kind of get the same Satisfaction Just by buying it so I think that's that leads to that leads to some people just buying things because it makes you feel good like you just built

something even though you didn't do anything yeah all you did was press click right yeah all you did was hit Prime and it's coming your way yeah so recognizing what feeling you're having before you hit click or before you go spend the money or before you eat the donut recogn so that's what mindfulness is about just being aware of what you're doing just taking a step back being a little bit detached is a good way to control your impulsivity avoiding the situation this is a big one that they talked about in in some of these

uh websites where they give you advice or they're giving advice WebMD is one of them uh avoiding the situation completely this is kind of what they tell like alcoholics right don't go to the bar don't drive by the liquor store don't drive by the liquor store reroute your drive home so you don't have to drive by you know AC's Liquor on the corner cuz when you buy drive by acees liquor you're going to get tempted to go in there so that to me makes sense if you've got some thing that's a big weakness for you

avoid it avoid looking at it avoid being around it in I know it the Alcoholics Anonymous one of their things is people places and things right you got to if there's people that you used to hang out with can't hang out with them anymore yeah there's uh places you used to go that would make you drink can't go there anymore and if there's things you used to do that you like to oh you like to drink when you golf no no more golf so the to me the the the avoiding those situations is kind of

similar to people places and things makes sense to me yeah another one that they brought is having an having an alternate outlet and this is a good one for more like the normal problems that we have so let's say for instance you're a person that blurts interrupts people during a meeting yeah that's a a habit that some people have and it's hard for them to control it's almost like they got Tourette Syndrome people just can't just be quiet and listen yeah one of the recommendations they have is an alternate Outlet which is to write things

down so you're sitting in a meeting when you got to say something no don't say it freaking write it down process it maybe you say it later when it's your turn when the other person's done uh another example that they gave was if you're arguing with your spouse like you start to feel that tension go for a run go for a work workout go hit the heavy bag do something have an alternate outlet for those impulses that you're feeling to me that made sense bre taking a Breath Right breathing whatever sort of breathing technique in

in through the mouth out through the nose you want to do the the four inhales one 4 count X whatever it is you're going to do those type of things are a good way to control your impulses that's kind of like um when you tell your kid to count to 10 yeah when they're mad yeah count the 10 right do you tell your kids that no they don't have tempers if you did if if you have someone that has a temper you tell them like count to 10 yeah and then you try with your kid

your kid's like 1 3 49 10 yeah that it does make sense that cont 10 and also the breathing but it makes more S I don't know this is what it seems like I'm not Web MD or a regular MD whatever but the it does seems like it makes sense that everyone's a WebMD dude I know you hear me with Dr Luke I'm like bro I Googled it I'm good your your di your Diagnostics are wrong I'm going to Liv forever yeah and you're meanwhile you're looking at the little Asters at the bottom oh this

thing does not necessarily mean that you have this oh see it says I don't have it see that's you there cuz usually it says I I read MD and I have cancer straight up have it right now but the the breathing uh technique um and the counting to 10 that's like when you physiologically are losing control like physi so like if you're I don't know if you get nervous or something well if in the event of you not having a temper or something like physiologically involved in your impuls in impulses um then that feels like

it works cuz anytime I got get like nervous and I'm like nervous and I breathe or whatever it does help L what makes you nervous um I feel like I just did it like where yeah where I was like like oh you're not you're going to lie but I was more nervous than I should have been like I'm using too much energy internally or whatever it was before I did squats yesterday for real it was freaking bro I'm telling you cuz yeah but yeah and I literally did breathe not cuz oh my gosh I'm nervous

I'm losing control it was that I'm using more like internal energy than I should be I need to be right in the perfect Zone that's what I'm saying but and it works like you can totally do it and even before tournaments like back in the day a long time ago before tournaments when like I would have these gagging fits like before only their first match I don't know why and um and I'd be like freaking like I'm like G like I might throw up if I don't stop this and then yeah that like I just

breathe and you just focus on breathing all the way out too that helps L but anyway um so they're good functional yeah uh change your scenery slash expand this is one that I was thinking of to me I think this is this isn't from the experts from the medical web doctors sure yeah this is just for me hey you're feeling an Impulse to do something go do something like change your scenery yeah you know what I'm saying oh you're about to do something that you know you shouldn't do go do something just go walk outside

the the classic example and I think that ties back into like changing your perspective your expanding your horizon your visual Horizon right you're focused on one thing like like we talked about with hubman like expand your visual Horizon let's see what else you can see let's see more wait you said you that you thought this and it wasn't on the list it was on the list it wasn't on the list to change your scenery when I think it's actually a really good thing to do I think it's one of the they're all kind of in

my opinion given what I'm feeling is kind of lumped into the same one like an like having another Outlet um and changing your scenery they're kind of the same thing and it goes with which I'm surprised it's not on this and but what which makes me agree with you what you're saying like probably 100 1% even but you put it back in the day is like find a new Mission so this is a small version or a shorter term version of finding a new Mission so if yeah if you're trapped in the house with all

the donuts or I don't know whatever the case may be if you have something else to do in a different place and you care about that thing cuz it's an actual like Outlet bro you're you you'll think about those donuts or that desire for the donuts way way less and in fact if you care about the other thing that you're doing you won't think about the donuts at all because you don't have time for that kind of stuff you know it's like if you're I don't know like I don't know if you're skiing or snow

if you're skiing down the mountain you're not thinking man I wish I had some vodka right now if you're Al you're like J ski if you're doing Jiu-Jitsu right now like if you're trying to choke me and I'm like some gambling addict or whatever and I'm trying really trying to beat the gambling habit and you're trying to choke I'm defending the choke now defending armor I'm doing this I'm literally not thinking about gambling so that's like a small version of finding a new Mission yeah it's just completely changing your environment changing it's it's it's weird
