This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning as I START AGAIN. This past week I’ve been sliding down a slippery slope of drinking coffee, compulsively eating sweets and even gluten; eating too late and when I’m not truly hungry. My body aches and this behavior is far from supportive of my intentions. SO, I begin again with curiosity and faith. I was even inspired to journal for the first time ever on this app! I will also be aware of other mindless things I do, like checking my cell phone when I’m trying to focus on a project. Thank you for your study and insight! ♥️

Powerful simple wisdom. So insightful I'm going to listen to it again right now and try to have better attention the whole time

I’ve heard this message before. Apparently I need a lot of reminding. Not quite there yet. Thanks for the reminder

Supberb deliverance of the importance of mindfulness with respect to a quality life. This is a great resource to keep and review, as needed. Thank you. Respectfully.

This is the way. Mindfulness.
Another thing I have tried to break bad habits which is tied to mindfulness is making it a pre-decided choice. No back and forth, no mulling over- you’ve already decided. “Oh I don’t smoke.” Or “thats not food for me.” Once I found out I was intolerant to gluten it was a battle to stay away but eventually the cost wasn’t worth it and I just stopped seeing it as even an option! Now I don’t have to think about it- I just say no. (Or yes, for that matter.)

As someone in recovery, these insights are SO valuable and also SO challenging. I’m remaining teachable!

Worth a listen for anyone in active addiction, early recovery, or consistently relapsing.

This talk appeared in my feed at exactly the right time. I have a bad habit that needs changing. I feel better equipped this morning to initiate this change. Thank you 🙏

Thank u. Today is the first day of my sobriety journey. I’m going to stop and be curious when I get the craving to drink and see how that goes.

A short talk that gives a lot to think about to help stop bad habits.

Intriguing. Interested if he’s done trials with drug users ..if it allows the addict going through clear physical symptoms of withdrawal, if they are able to be curious. That would be breakthrough and gold. This is by all means amazing watching the mind heal and rehabilitate. Love it

Humorous and knowledgeble info in a digestable, 10 minute tidbit. Essential knowledge!

Very helpful & insightful. I’d like to learn more about this and I’d love some training on it or guides.

So eye opening! Useful insights to practice.

Thank 🙏you

Excellent explanation and very useful tips to carry with a person trying to break a habit.

What are some of these apps that help with this? I would like to get curious about eating poorly and break my old habit of turning to sugar when I’m stressed.
