      @@ecman324 At first, you need a good reason to quit. For most smokers, bad health effects and money are just not enough to hold them from smoking, because cigarettes makes you feel good, and why wouldn't you feel good? Start smokiglng lighter cigarretes and less of them, then quit forever and feel the pain of real life :D There is something you will benefit from as you quit, and that feeling is much more important than fake good feeling when you light a smoke...

    This CD is very calming th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.

    Great video . I gave up alcohol 5 years ago in my early 20s my best decision of my life so far. I don't even think about it it's just who I am . Also gave up meat 4 years ago too . Not that I am against either meat or alcohol of course not . Just that I chose to live my life without the consumption of these two things because I thought it would greatly impact my life in a positive way. My next challenge is to give up refined sugar which I think is a big one for most of us. But if I can give up alcohol and meat I can give up refined sugars. Also the whole "giving up" thing I decided I want to "add" into my life some habits.
    1. Weight Lifting Consistently
    2. Daily Mindfulness Breathing
    3. Daily Yoga
    I can do this.

Good luck and all the best with your new goals :)

      I traded off refined sugar for coconut sugar and the transition was really smooth ...I later traded off coconut sugar for honey and I now bounce between Honey and Maple syrup if I just have to have a sweetener ..I have no regrets and I feel dramatically better for it... Also gave up alcohol approx.15 years ago and I just can't imagine ever drinking again ...that type of alteration isn't as pleasant as we think when we're young. Be Well *

    Another thing that will help to decrease bad habits is being disciplined with your schedule. For instance, I pretty much eat whatever I want. Sounds good right?
    The catch is I only do this on Saturday.
    From sunrise to sunset, if I want it, I consume it. The other 6 days of the week I eat ultra healthy and stay focused on work and getting everything organized. On Saturday, I let loose on any restriction I have. It doesn’t mean I force myself to eat unhealthy or to drink a bunch of alcohol or anything like that, it just means I don’t have to be strict on that day. What I have found is when Saturday roles around, I don’t have as much desire to do those things. I feel good from the way I treat myself all week. Bad habits have been falling off hard as I have been doing this.

    “For the rest of my life” may work for some. The forever part makes it more difficult for me, probably many others as well. It seems so big, when you think of never again. That’s why people say to take it one day at a time. Don’t worry about never having a drink, cigarette, whatever, ever again. Just think, right now I’m not gonna do that. I’m strong enough to not do that right now.

      1) b12 deficiency is now present in meat eaters as well, as it's being farmed out of our soil. It is a bacteria from plant food.
      2) All amino acids are present in plant foods.
      3) All Herbivores chew their food and have enzymes in the saliva that turn starch to sugar for fuel, while even omnivores gnash with sharp teeth, not chew.
      4) Only plant foods give us live enzymes for good human health, while dead tissue leads to a wide range of illnesses.
      These repackaged Atkins fads will die out soon enough, because they cant be maintained. 100+ years of research proves this time and again.

Thanks for the reminder. Despite what you call it, it feels like a gentler transition than going extreme and that feels balanced. Much appreciated. I believe it can take as long as it takes each person to "get it" and wake up. It does not have to be years.

Or maybe not cheat, but it’s like we think we have an excess in our moral bank account and get smug and self satisfied. Before a fall comes pride. I find this in myself for sure.

    it's important that when you give up what you perceive to be a "Bad" habit, it isn't replaced by another. Often the reason/excuse we might tell ourselves is well, at least it's not as bad as what I use to do ( but harm is harm) trading one habit for one you might deem lesser of two evils is still detrimental.right now I'm trying to shake off a Whole Laundry list of things, I don't feel Overwhelmed, but Challenged! You never really know what you can Accomplish until a valid attempt is made. It sounds simplistic, but sometimes we have to ignore that little voice in our head and go with the GUT. Repetition wears down Routine. Good Luck to everyone in their Attempt, for recognizing the problem/ issue is more than half the Solution! Peace.

Hope this strategy breaks my bad habit.

  •  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Progressive extremism sounds very similar to the concept of Keystone Habits that Charles Duhigg presents in the book The Power of Habit. I noticed this idea when I broke a bad habit I had for 33 years, and almost immediately saw better habits spread to other areas of my life, like health, family relations and business.

    This is a great process. Hypnotherapy can quicken the pace to months vs years. The mind is focused on needs so you have to satisfy the need another way. Changing this using hypnosis happens quickly. You don't need therapy. Talk therapy keeps the problem going by focusing on it. Hypnotherapy can be content free.

    This is excellent advice. However, I also think it's valuable to look at the root causes of bad habits. A lot of the time, it's a sort of self-medication for feelings of loss we experience - seeking comfort and reassurance - that frequently goes back to childhood. They aren't called "comfort foods" for nothing! Certainly alcohol use is a type of self-medication for dealing with anxiety and low self-worth, and sugar can give us a brief high. That's why it can be so difficult to cut these pleasures out of our lives. I think we can gain a great deal if we find new and better ways of taking care of ourselves that don't include unhealthy substances and behaviors.

    Am I the only one who momentarily wanted candy corn despite not having eaten it in forever ( Halloween 2007)?
    And I don't even like sweet things...
    Anyway, every single video I've ever seen (and every book I've read) about change always says the same thing: it has to be an internal shift i.e you need to first re-write your story of yourself (and change your perception of who you are).
    But, a much more important step - that few mention, is that you first need to understand the reason for a particular behaviour of yours **without trying to change that behaviour**.
    I failed so many times because I just directly jumped to trying to redefine myself as a person, without understanding why I was the way that I was.
    I hope this comment saves someone trying to change a behaviour some time (and frustration) . :)

    Then evry movies.
    So i deleted all of these collections from my phone n comouter.
    But theres still tv. I still watch it. But not like crazy as i used to do before.
    I was addicted to movies. But now i watch, like, 1 movie in every 2 months or something.
    I'm sure one day I'll stop watching it completely. The only thing thats holding me back is, some movies are really informative.

      There are very many confusing informations outside.

      Unfortunately our whole industry is made to produce food which leads to diabetes, rheumatic disease, cardio problems and so on...
      Best diet would be mostly vegetarian with only occasionaly meat (biological), almost no sugar or diaries. No artificial "binders" and so on... in the clinic I worked some years ago outside patients sometimes were treat only with strict dietary changes for 3 month - no meat, no diary, no sugar - and quite often more than half of their symtoms improved.
      Try it out .
      Just once for 3 month very strict to these changes and then feel the difference .
