Impulsivity

If someone says “I’m never going to do that again,” why on earth
would the person keep doing it over and over? The truth is, our
behavior is complicated.


Impulsivity is another reason people repeat mistakes. Although
there’s a lot to be said for “dusting yourself off and getting right
back up on the horse,” it is wiser to figure out why you fell off in
the first place before you try again.
Find yourself stuck in a state of perpetually repeating mistakes?
You might be getting too comfortable.

Have you
ever watched a dog chase its tail around and around in a circle?
That’s what you feel like when you repeat your mistakes. You’ll tire
out, yet you won’t get anywhere.
