What is Self-Control? Self - Mastery means conquering the body and subduing the restless mind. When we are self-controlled, We sleep peacefully and awake enthusiastically. Marshmallow Test: Once, in the late 1960s, Walter Mischel , a professor at Stanford University, conducted a test with a marshmallow, a delicious sweet candy. 653 children of average 4 years age had assembled. At first one marshmallow sweet was kept in front of every child. They were all told that if they can control themselves for 20 minutes and not take the marshmallow, then they will be given 2 marshmallows instead of 1. But very few children could wait for 20 minutes but do you know!!! Most children ate it immediately as soon as they got it..

Some could restrain for 2 mins or more….only few children could hold on for 20 mins and then got to eat 2 sweets… Q. Out of the types of children who do you feel will be successful in his/her life? A. The children who ate the sweet immediately or B. The children who could control themselves and waited for 20 minutes. (Wait for the child to give answer)……… the right answer is B..

Yes, in the late 1980’s when these children became early adults, Mischel found out that those who were able to control themselves at the age of 4 were more successful in their career, studies and are much happier in their lives now. Amazing isn't it! Who would've thought that self-control is so important to gain success in life? Ask students: Why Self Control? (What is the impetus for you to go for Self - Control), if they did not give all answers then add the following: Self - Restraint is indispensable for individual as well as universal progress (Gandhi) Self-Control yields all knowledge. It increases energy and purifies..

A wonderful entourage follows in its path: benevolence, charity, contentment, compassion, knowledge, nonviolence, sincerity, determination, freedom from anger and malice. It gives the mind ability to have a clear discrimination. Developing self-control gives me a sense of achievement; it helps us to realize our full potential. Our self-esteem increases and we look at ourselves in a new light. We become the achievers. We do not feel weak in the knees when we face temptations. We don’t feel vulnerable or insecure. We have control over our thoughts. We cannot be forced to do anything against our will. We are respected by everyone. We have control even over our emotions – we can be happy or sad according to our will. People don’t affect us, our confidence affects people, and they are bound to follow..

These qualities are very attractive. Self-control is necessary if we want to be successful as; E.g.: Singers avoid ice cream, cold drinks and hot chilly items to have high pitch. A man with typhoid avoids puris and oily foodstuffs to get well. A pilot avoids drinking alcohol in order to save the passengers from plane crash. He who has conquered the mind, has already conquered the world Sense control makes us successful in studies, sports and every activity that we do..

How will you respond in following situations? E.g.1. Imagine one fine day happens to be your friend’s birthday and he is giving away your favourite chocolate. He keeps his chocolate box open right in front of you and goes to the wash-room… what will you do? What will your mind say… come on this is your chance, grab as many as possible? How many of you would do that? E.g.2. You get a box full of your favorite chocolates as a gift from your relatives. How many will you eat? 10, 20, 30…. Story from scriptures: Once upon a time, there lived a person named, Ravana. Ravana was the king of Lanka..

He did lot of tapasya by worshipping Lord Brahma and Lord Siva. Both the Lords being very pleased with him gave him many many boons. At this point Ravana gained boons because he was self-controlled. Ravana lived a rich life, in golden palaces with many many queens but still he wanted to kidnap mother Sita . He couldn't control himself. Having given up his sense-control Ravana kidnapped mother Sita and brought her to Lanka unlawfully. Ravana's younger brother, Vibhisana was a very wise person. He advised Ravana to return Sita with respect back to Lord Rama but Ravana unable to control his senses couldn't do this. What happened as a result of no sense control? Finally Ravana was killed by Lord Rama..

Questions: When Ravana got benefited? a. When he was practicing self-control doing austerities. (OR) b. When he could not control himself and took mother Sita . 2. Why Ravana got killed? Because he had a great control over himself. (OR) b. He could not control himself. Self-control is the ability to overcome temptation, for the sake of achieving your goals. It is the determination to do what you must, that, helps you to overcome any temptation..

What is temptation? We sit down to study. Our phone vibrates. We really want to read the message. It’s killing us. So I read the message and reply. Totally harmless right? We try to get back to studying. What happens? We think about the message. We wonder what my friend’s going to think when he/she reads our witty reply! There, the phone vibrates. We leap towards the phone, with books forgotten on the floor. Think about it, in the above situation what role did the phone play? Wasn’t it a temptation? Temptation is anything that DISTRACTS me. More e.g. Addiction.

Suppose you have a friend named Kalu. Because of wrong association Kalu had habit of smoking cigarettes. Once when Kalu was smoking a new brand cigarette….if you see what reaction you will get in your mind? Moral: We can use our free-will whether to give into a bad habit or stay away from it. Habit 2: seeing dirty content in TVs, mobiles etc. Remove HABIT remains. Remove A, BIT remains. Remove Bit still remains. HABITs Die Hard. Show Videos of smoking.

First we smoke cigarettes, then cigarettes smoke us. People make ads showing “Be cool by smoking cigarettes. Shrila Prabhupada used to say “How can we remain cool by smoking fire?” We are born in a country where great leaders like Shivaji Maharaja ruled and they respected woman like mother. Once, the Maratha soldiers had defeated the Mughals and brought the queen of the Mughals to the court of Shivaji for his enjoyment. Shivaji immediately disapproved of this act and told his soldiers that a married woman must be treated like a mother and thus respectfully dealt with her. Chanakya Pandit also says that a real gentleman is one who treats other woman as mother..

A girl before her marriage is under the protection of her father. After marriage she is protected by her husband and in later phase of life she is protected by her eldest son. How can we do such nasty things while our culture teaches us to treat any woman as good as one’s mother? Hanuman ji saw every woman as mother as a result was embraced by Lord Rama whereas Ravana saw every woman with wrong feelings, hence he was destroyed. We should resolve to never see such photos in my life as this is inappropriate. If you stay away from these bad habits, your memory and concentration will greatly improve. By this you can perform well in studies, sports and every sphere of life because you will have the strength of a pure mind. Floe from habits to culture..

How must we develop Self-control? It’s seems tough right? But don’t worry! It REALLY isn’t that hard! Here are a few guidelines: Keep your goal in the eye of your mind – I walk down to the shop in your neighbourhood to get a kilo of potatoes, my mum needs them urgently. While coming back I spot my long lost friend and begin to chat, the sack of potatoes forgotten. Story of Arjuna seeing the eye of the bird. Try not to compromise on your principles – when I make promises I don’t break them. Ever. Oh, maybe sometimes. Often..

Differentiate between wants and needs – mom, I don’t NEED to get good marks in my class tests… you WANT too many things from me. <Whereas> I really really NEED those shoes, the ten pairs I have at home are not enough. Don’t underestimate temptations – hah! Let them watch the movie here, do you think I’LL get distracted while studying? You must be kidding! <One hour later> wow, this is the best movie ever. <books neatly tucked away> Prioritize, do first things first – I’ll wake up, play with friends, chat with my neighbour, wait till the bus arrives and then start ironing my uniform..
