Addiction to Not so Good Habits

Now, let's talk about those habits we've picked up throughout our lives. You know, the stuff we do day in and day out. Whether it's using our hands to build stuff, thinking about other stuff, or conjuring up mental images, or, in some cases, just talking about the same old stuff endlessly. Well, guess what? All that changes not just your outlook on life but your whole physiological structure. Yeah, it affects the body, mind and soul.

Mindfulness, as I see it, is all about conscious and intentional action. Sadly, too many folks are sleepwalking through life. Their whole life, it's like a blur, even when they are eating something they don’t pay attention to how their bodies respond. They don't pay attention to the delightful or dreadful sensations their bodies send their way.

Fun fact: the Universe, God, or whatever you call it, communicates through those bodily sensations so to break free from anything that controls us the answer is to ‘Pay attention’ and to become the master of it.

Addictions and bad habits usually start with unconscious, unintentional actions that get people in trouble.

To be mindful, you've got to quiet that busy mind, and steer your actions toward your own betterment, because guess who's the most important person in your life? It's you!

Now, if you've got an addiction, you already know you've got to swap it for a better habit.

The situation you're in right now? It's just the reaction to your past actions.

So, what will you do, be, and act on today? If you keep repeating yesterday's script, you're going to be stuck in the past. So, choose wisely and I know very well ...is not easy, but you are the only person in this world who can help you.

So now is time to rock some good self-talk, my friend!
