I know from personal experience that on a stressful day I will spin in circles, lose something, and oft en make terribly impulsive decisions if I don’t pause and do what is needed to take care of my stress. Stress is the number one factor that I see exacerbate any ADHD symptom. A spontaneous decision gives some thought to the outcome.Īside from having ADHD and being hotwired to act impulsively, what factors contribute to impulsivity? And what can we do to reduce our natural tendency to lose restraint of pen and tongue or act too quickly? Before making a spontaneous decision, we check our calendar or to-do list to see if there is something else that needs to take priority.
#Impulsive decisions meaning movie
Spontaneity, on the other hand, is pausing to “play the movie forward” to think about any possible consequences for others or for ourselves. Yet in reality the actions we take are poorly conceived, prematurely expressed, unduly risky or inappropriate, and result in undesirable consequences. We are too quick to jump the gun on what we think in the moment is a very good idea. Impulsive behavior is always characterized by little or no forethought. What is impulsivity and how does it differ from spontaneity? Most of us like being spontaneous, yet we often end up acting or speaking impulsively, regretting the results. Impulsivity can cause accidents, inefficiency, poor performance reviews at work, and adversely affect treasured relationships. MOST OF US CRINGE WHEN WE HEAR THE WORD IMPULSIVITY, as it brings to mind what our impulsive decisions or behaviors have resulted in.
