RE: Leaders Turn Addictive Behavior Into Healthy Obsessions
I turned around and realized that I could focus on NOT DOING a destructive behavior, instead of focusing on all the difficult behaviors I would have to start DOING. The former is easier than the latter!
Thanks for you input. Does your strategy work for you? In my experience it seems that focussing on NOT doing something makes your brain crave it even more. You need to stay motivated to get your results and if your motivation slips up just one time, you fall back.
Good point. I know others with the "idle hands are the devil's playground" situation. The worst case scenarios are those with money who inherited it and never had to work.
All I've got to do is simply not drink and everything else falls into place.
Great that works for you.
Agreed; people who got everything without the struggle can crash down hard. Also because they have the resources to back up their wishes, and they are not healthy in this case...
