(It's a control panel, get it? Original image here.)
Recognize impulsive thoughts. Place time restrictions on impulsive thoughts. Try belly breathing. Find a healthy distraction. Have a go-to activity. No, these are not rejected John Darnielle lyrics. These are the five steps to "build self-control in the moment" from the WikiHow page on self-control & how to get it. It seems quite helpful, plus there are pictures!
Nothing so helpful appears on this week's Self Help Radio, which if anything is more out of control than normal, which is ironic, of course, but not cool ironic but annoying ironic, which was the name of my high school new wave band, Annoying Ironic. "Annoying ironic what?" the bass player asked repeatedly before we fired him & used a Casio instead.
There's not much to say. Maybe the show speaks for itself. Maybe the show shuts up for itself. Why don't you ask the show? It's now at the Self Help Radio website. (Pay attention to username/password info on the front page please.) The show is in two distinct but hardly distinctive parts. The songs & guests in the parts are listed below.
