Course overview
Lesson Overview

11.3 – How the Brain Influences Impulsive Decisions: The brain plays a huge role in how impulses show up and how strong they feel. The prefrontal cortex helps with decision-making, but when emotions rise, the limbic system takes over. This means feelings can override logic in seconds. The brain releases chemicals like dopamine that make impulsive actions feel rewarding. Understanding this gives power back to you—it’s not that you’re “bad at control,” it’s that your brain is wired for quick rewards. But with awareness and training, the prefrontal cortex can grow stronger at managing urges. Mindfulness, rest, and stress control all support this process. The more you practice slowing down, the easier it becomes to let your thinking brain step in first. Each pause rewires your response patterns. Over time, you build a calmer connection between thought and action.
