Self-control isn’t just about saying “no” to temptation—it’s a skill you can train, rewire, and improve for life. In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom breaks down the science behind self-control, revealing how your brain, environment, and daily choices shape your ability to stay focused, make better decisions, and follow through on your goals.
Inside the episode, you’ll learn:
- Why self-control is a stronger predictor of success than intelligence- How your physical environment and social surroundings impact your willpower- The truth about ego depletion—and why willpower isn’t as limited as you think- How brain activity and future-thinking predict real-life self-control- Why sleep deprivation destroys decision-making and makes you more impulsive
Cody also shares real-world strategies to help you practice and improve self-control:
- Shift your mindset about willpower being "limited"- Use daily journaling and future visualization for long-term focus- Train discipline with small, manageable decisions- Design your environment to support good habits and eliminate temptations- Prioritize health habits like sleep, diet, and training to reinforce mental control
If you’re ready to stop giving in to distractions and start taking full control of your actions, this episode will give you the science and systems to make it happen.
