Habits and Addictions
Bad habits and addictions can range from holding us back in achieving our goals to being life-threatening and impacting those we care about.
Habits and addictions, except in a few cases, are learned. This doesn’t reduce the challenge in overcoming them but emphasizes that the same mind and body that created them can be used to overcome them. You learned to have them so you can “unlearn” to have them.

Do you believe in the law of intention? Have you heard about it? Basically, it asserts that what we think about most we draw into our lives or become. Often times, what we attract to ourselves we do so by proxy or automatic overdrive, in that we don’t put a lot of thought into it. So, what kind of financial mindset do you operate from? Do you worry that you never have enough and will always be living from paycheck to paycheck? Perhaps you are operating on the premise of abundance – there is enough to go around and I will attract whatever I need into my life. If you are operating in the domain of the latter mindset, then you have developed a debt-free mindset.
What is a barrier? According to any definition, a barrier is some kind of structure which blocks or impedes the progress of something or someone. If you want to take this working definition one step further, the “structure” need not be physical in nature, but can be mental, emotional or psychological as well. Did you know that most structures that people put between themselves and their successes or what they most want out of life are mental/psychological? I will bet you when you hear this next notion you will be even more surprised – the greatest barriers people face is a two word barrier starting with the word “I” and ending in the word “can’t” Do you have “I can’t” barriers keeping you from your goals? Here’s what to do.
Do you ever feel like there are never enough hours in the day to get done what you have to get done? Upon further review, when you look at what you are getting done does most of it focus on the needs and whims of others, and what they want from you? What about you? Are you truly getting what you want and are you spending enough on you? There is nothing selfish about wanting time for yourself and getting what you want. Read more here…
Are you a person who constantly worries about what other people think about you? Are you one of those folks who feels the need to place a false persona on themselves in order to feel and be accepted by others even though you dislike pretending to be something you aren’t? If so, it’s time to stop acting the way you think others want you to be and start being your own person. Sometimes this is easier said than done because you’ve been role-playing to fit in and perhaps lost sight of who you really are! Here’s some hard-hitting advice for you.
Do you have troubles with faulty or irrational thinking? Do you find that you stumble into the same patterns of destruction and mayhem when it comes to thinking? Are you your own worst enemy when it comes to your thoughts and their ability to crush your self-esteem? If you are looking for a way out of negative thinking and landing in a domain of positive thinking, then you’ll want to read on…
Are you a worry wart – you worry about everything under the sun, moon and stars? Do you wake up in the morning with worry being the first thing on your mind, worrying about the day before you have even set one foot on the ground? And does this worry stick with you throughout the course of the day, draining you and making you so tired? Are you then so tired that you want to sleep but can’t because the night time version of your worrying mind now kicks in? If so, welcome to the world of worry and you can officially consider yourself a worry wart! Here’s more and what to do.
Why do so many want to do the right thing, set their minds on doing the right thing, promise to do the right thing, only to fall back into repeated cycles of the “same ole”–negative outcomes? The number one reason is self-sabotage. Many people possess a talent for being their own worst enemy and shooting themselves in the proverbial foot. Why? The answer is intention combined with rehearsed mental scripts.
Have you ever felt like no matter what you are doing or trying, life seems to always be going against a stiff current? It is almost as if the harder you paddle the rougher the rapids get. Why does it always seem that way? Furthermore, why does this have to stress you out? Simple… one word: EGO!
One of the toughest things I often hear people tell me is that they have a very difficult time living life in moderation. Apparently, many of them just do not know when to say when! In my article on Portion Control and Learning a Four Letter Word, I discussed how some people have a hard time putting down their weapon of choice (fork) at the dinner table once they start to chow down. When it comes to buffets, all bets are off so to speak… eat as much as you can and make sure you get your money’s worth! What is the fine line between satisfaction versus satiation when it comes to eating? Good question!
