“I've learned to slam my brakes on every time I'm going into a self-destructive moment.”
— Chris Pratt
Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels like they're about to do something harmful to themselves, they've trained themselves to stop immediately, like hitting the brakes in a car. Imagine you're driving and see a wall ahead; you would quickly stop to avoid crashing. Just like that, this person stops harmful behaviors, which might include bad habits, negative thoughts, or poor choices, before they cause any damage. For instance, if someone notices they're about to start overthinking and feeling sad, they take a break, go for a walk, or call a friend to change their mindset. This approach helps them avoid deeper problems. Learning to control these impulsive actions can lead to healthier, happier lives.
