Self-Control VS. Self-Regulation
Dr. Stuart Shanker
WHAT? “It is essential that we do not confuse self-regulation with self-control. Self-control is about trying to inhibit impulses; self-regulation is about reducing the incidence and intensity of impulses in the first place.
Self-regulation is what makes self-control possible, and in most cases, unnecessary.”
-Dr. Stuart Shanker
