one of the most important skills that

people don't practice is how to ignore

yourself this is the foundation of what

the stoics and yogis discovered that if

you want to have control and happiness

in your life ignoring yourself is

actually the first step and this is

becoming increasingly important in

today's society because of things like

technology as we get more and more

cookies added to our browsers and stuff

like that people know what you want and

they're going to trigger different

Desires in you right this is why we have

notifications on your phone and it's not

just in technology there's also been

some really fascinating research

recently that additives in food will

neuroscientifically induce Cravings even

the food that we eat is actually

inducing impulses within us and trying

to get us to eat things so if you want

control over your life and you want to

like reduce unhealthy eating habits

maybe tackle things like obesity stop

using technology and stop giving into

your emotions take the road that the

stoics and yogis took and actually learn

how to ignore your impulses
