I've been trying to think of a way to articulate my thoughts on this subject in a somewhat direct way, without getting into a debate about the theory of free will. I am wanting advice in more practical terms.
I have a serious problem with self control. My intention never matches up with my behavior. I feel as though I'm a passenger in a car and it's driving itself. I don't do anything manic but it is the small the things that are out my control and days are made up a collection of small decisions. It is the general idea of self control that I want to discuss and what can be done to change it, if possible.
I don't know if this problem is isolated to me, or everyone has this issue and it is the chronic observation of not liking my behavior that has awoken me to realization that I can't control myself.
I have tried all sorts of medications, supplements, hormones, etc. Along with every form of mindfulness technique in existence with no change.
Personally, I have never known anyone to completely change their behavior and though process.
I feel as though I am at breaking point and I'm hoping there is some information someone knows that can help.
