Discussing impulsivity on Big Brother last night...
It was so much fun meeting Rylan and AJ last night out at Big Brother - although I have met AJ in the last series we were both guests.
If you watch Big Brother you’ll know it was an exciting programme with housemate Michael having full responsibility for the nominations this week - of course the other housemates don't realise the public have been guiding Michael on what to do.
Although inside the house it's an extreme version of real-life we can take some lessons from how the housemates cope with stress especially a sense of rejection when you're nominated. So much depends on how impulsive you are and how you react to stress - whether you make it obvious to everyone exactly how you feel or if you're less impulsive you can keep things closer to your chest. Sometimes it's a good thing not to show your entire hand.
TODAY’S TIP: Recognising how impulsive you can be is part of self-knowledge. People who talk about "flying off the handle" are usually highly impulsive. One excellent tip is the classic tip of stopping yourself before you say anything, give yourself a few minutes to calm down and think about the repercussions of what you do say.
Practise makes perfect and this can help with impulse control.
Take care of yourself, Pamx
