be less impulsive

What is the best way to fight it?

I feel like it’s a form of mental illness or something & maybe need to talk to someone since impulsivity affects my relationships, finances, jobs and life in general. I’m working on finding a person who can keep me in check before I do something, and working on thinking a little longer before I speak so as not to regret what I say immediately.

I’d like to be able to help people here and provide support as well as receive support from this group. So much of our society is instant gratification and I believe this will be a better world if we could all learn this skill.
