A Guide To Overcoming Destructive Habits/Behaviors
As you create more space and begin not thinking as much, you’ll quickly discover that you will become aware of a lot of negative, destructive habits you may have that keep making you more prone to suffering. This is completely okay. Do not beat yourself up about it because it will only make things worse. Here is a more detailed guide below that will help you break any destructive habits: 1. Become aware of what behavior you want to change and confirm that it is something you genuinely want to alter.
Understand that if you want to change and stop the vicious cycle of suffering, you’re going to have to change and let go of the beliefs you’re holding onto that are creating the suffering. If you don’t want to change it, there’s no point in continuing forward, but if you do want to change, then let’s begin the process of letting go.
2. Write down in exact, meticulous detail what happens with this behavior (how many times it happens, when it happens, etc.) Don’t spare any details.
3. What are you feeling in the moment right before you begin the behavior? What’s the feeling that triggers the behavior? Be honest with yourself.
4. What specific thinking patterns are going on? What are you saying to yourself in the moment when this happens? Describe it in exact detail.
5. What beliefs do you have around this habit? What conclusions have you made which compel you to feel like you HAVE to perform this behavior/action?
6. How do you feel when you believe that thinking?
7. What do you believe will happen if you don’t perform the behavior? In other words, what consequences do you believe will happen if you don’t perform the action?
8. Is it ABSOLUTELY 100% true that it will happen if you don’t perform the behavior?
9. Can you see how destructive this thinking is and how much it causes you to suffer?
10. Are you willing to let this thinking and behavior go now?
11. Consult your inner wisdom and highest self. What is it trying to tell you? What is it trying to help you learn? How is it telling you to restore balance into your life? How is it telling you to grow right now? Create space and wait for an insight from Infinite Intelligence as to why you actually want to change.
12. When you receive the insight, allow yourself to fully feel the freedom, peace, and joy. Feel the weight lifted off your shoulders. You’ll know you did it right if you physically and energetically feel lighter and if you don’t see the action/habit in the same way anymore. Fully immerse yourself in the feeling of deep gratitude and just allow yourself to be.
13. Write down any insight you’ve had and journal your experience you just had so you can have a documentation of these miracles in your life.
