    Self-control Through Mindfulness: Cognitive Defusion

    In continuing our series of articles about learning self-control skills, we address the role of our thoughts in the process. If we are honest with ourselves, many of the areas we want to increase our self-control in (diet, exercise, sleep, etc), we experience a certain amount of ambivalence.

    Priorities

    Gordon MacDonald(1) makes a case for the correct establishment of priorities for cultivating an ordered inner spiritual life. As a minister and pastoral counselor, MacDonald points out that no matter how talented a an individual might be, without a well-developed, ordered, and prioritized inner life, it is only a matter of time before the person suffers from burnout or what he calls "sinkhole syndrome" - when the metaphorical ground of your life seems to drop out from under
