Sounds like impulsivity is not a hazardous attitude you have to worry about.
As for getting back into it, well your a PHD or going to be. Apply your everyday discipline towards your degree towards flying, get a few hours of refresher flights, particularly on the basics (both VFR and IFR), and you should do just fine. Welcome back.
