Since I learned CBT I focus on lower brain and upper brain. It doesnt always make perfect scientific sense, and often the "lower brain" is more about fears than other emotions. You may want to try more complex words. Impulse, desire, SMART goal, craving. "Competing wants" sounds like Economics 101 lingo. I'm not gonna give advice, I think I'm struggling with this is same problem in an entirely different way.
