Urge

An urge is a strong, often sudden desire or impulse to do something, such as eating, drinking, or acting in a certain way. It arises from the brain’s signals, usually driven by emotions, habits, or needs. Urges can be helpful when they motivate positive actions, but they can also be challenging if they lead to decisions that aren’t beneficial. Recognizing and managing urges is important for self-control and making thoughtful choices. They are natural parts of human experience and vary in intensity and frequency depending on the situation and individual.
