As the flesh gets in the way of our ideals, we regulate ourselves unto enslavement and inhumanity. The human spirit then dies and the animal in us returns.

The wise know that the only way to return to the mindset of optimism is to work towards self-improvement.

They use healthy habits like exercise, meditation, diet changes, and other behaviors that promote overall health. When they experience pain or sadness, they remind themselves that it is just part of life and that they must move forward in spite of it. This attitude is self-regulation.
