Drinking caffeine and constantly engaging in activities that require action or stimulation can cause us to neglect our ability to suppress behavior. It's important to train our 'no-go' functions, which involve deliberately imposing moments of restraint or delay in order to interrupt reflexive actions. By introducing intentional pauses throughout the day, such as delaying a bite of food for a few minutes, we can strengthen these pathways. In today's world, where there are abundant opportunities and rewards for constant action, it is crucial to keep our 'no-go' circuits trained and active.
