This Is Our Experience

When breaking a habit, it's always good to have a more effective and beneficial habit to replace that old habit. For example, I used to eat candy often. Now, whenever I crave candy, I go straight for blueberries. Blueberries are sweet and healthy and they also satisfy my craving. This works for me. Of course, with everything, you should always have balance. That means don't over indulge, because too much of anything can become harmful. Whatever unwanted habits you have, mental or physical, write them down on one side of a paper. On the other side, write down what new habits you want to implement in your life. Here's some examples.

I look at it like this, everybody is always talking about how "life is short", so what sense does it make to spend any amount of time putting energy into things that don't make us feel good?

Our subconscious minds respond strongly to repetition. This is why people use affirmations and audio subliminals when they want to reprogram their subconscious. We can deliberately program our minds, but most people are consuming unfiltered information, repeatedly, without realizing they are being conditioned. Did you know that we can program emotions and reactions as well?

We start to convince ourselves that we are damaged and suffering from trauma.  The...
