Lesson Overview

11.5 – The Role of Emotions in Impulsive Actions: Emotions are powerful drivers behind impulsivity, pushing you to act before your mind catches up. Anger might lead to yelling, excitement to overspending, or sadness to overeating. When emotions feel intense, your body wants instant relief or pleasure. Understanding this link shows that impulsivity isn’t weakness—it’s an emotional reaction to discomfort. Naming your feelings helps you slow them down. When you say, “I feel anxious” or “I feel bored,” your brain shifts from reaction to reflection. You can then find a healthier outlet for the feeling instead of jumping into quick fixes. Over time, emotional awareness becomes your first defense against rash choices. The more you practice naming emotions, the less power they have over your actions. Emotional control builds space for thoughtful choices to grow.
