Warum reagierst du so heftig – obwohl du es besser weißt? | Folge 9

Reacted like that again? In this episode of Imperfect Mindfulness, Peter and Steffie talk candidly about impulse control—that is, why you do things you know "better" aren't good for you. We explore how triggers, old patterns, and your nervous system interact and how you can start living from conscious decisions instead of autopilot reactions. 📱 Our Mindfulness Academy app: https://achts.am/um2qI Topics in this episode 9: • What impulse control really is – beyond discipline • Why you keep falling back into old patterns • Pornography, food, your phone, drama: When fleeting relief becomes expensive • How triggers, emotions, and your nervous system interact • Stimulus-response gap: The one second that changes everything • Mindfulness as the key to perceiving impulses instead of being at their mercy • Healthy vs. unhealthy strategies for dealing with fatigue, stress, and feeling overwhelmed • Concrete steps for building new, healing habits 💝 Your gift as a supporter: Rate or share the podcast – get 3 powerful meditations (healing, peace, authenticity) 1 month free membership in our Mindfulness Academy! 👉 https://achts.am/uniWd 🌐 You asked for a space to connect, and we listened.
