self-ctrl
ˈˌself kənˈtrōl/
noun
noun: self-control
the ability to control oneself, in particular one's emotions and desires or the expression of them in one's behavior, especially in difficult situations.
Looking at that definition, it is important to note that self-control is especially relevant in times of turmoil and strife. It is easy for you to remain level headed when things are going good, but true control comes from remaining steadfast when things get difficult. Some, but very few, are naturally born with the ability to remain level headed through adversity; for most of us, this behavior is learned. And once you become an adult, most of these lessons are self-taught.
Through various successes and failures, we learn how to navigate through our careers, our love lives, our health and well being, and our overall journey as emerging adults.
Now, to some, this situation seems very common & is merely a part of maturing and growing into oneself. However, as millennials, the game is a little different. We are navigating uncharted waters, where a lot of technological advancements create new challenges. Some could even argue that because of social media, we are navigating through life with a larger audience.
Growing up is already very overwhelming, but doing it during a time where were subjected to things our parents never imagined makes it even harder. And now more than ever it is important for us as a generation to come together and not only learn from one another, but uplift each other as well. It is important for us to have a community where we can go for advice and positive affirmation. And from this idea, self-ctrl.com was born.
We believe that control is the underlying tone of a lot of the problems we face as millennials, whether that be financial control, separating from our parents and taking control of the direction and decisions were making as young adults or even taking control of the kinds of people we allow in and out of our lives. Taking control.. taking ownership for our well being, whether that be physical, emotional, spiritual, or socially is the key to thriving as an adult. Because once you have control of yourself and your own well being, you can have a positive impact on the things that surround you.
