-Someone keeps hurting you and you swear that you'll never go near this person again.
-You party to much one night and you swear your never going to have another drink again.
-You get an unhealthy report from your doctor and you swear you will change your unhealthy ways to a life of health.
-Or you simply do some dumb move, that you knew wasn't a good idea and you swear your never going to make a dumb move again.
We all know what happens though, we always go back and hurt ourselves again with the same people, situations and risky behavior. I understand why we do this but I'm not sure if you are aware. As dumb humans we are always searching for a "higher state". This is why we always do things that help us achieve a feeling we are not presently feeling in that moment, we're just never satisfied. And this is fine, I'll be the first to admit I'm this way, I seek out things that hurt me all the time and I do this because they feel so good knowing I shouldn't be doing them, and I know you do it to. I'm here to say it's fine to get a little crazy, but sometimes we need to know how to draw the line, notice I didn't say when to draw the line (that's to serious).
"What I'm I trying to get out of this?"
And at the point I ask myself that simple question, it stops me dead in my tracks and I usually end up stopping the behavior I'm doing right in that moment.
Instead of living with days of regret ask yourself that simple question when things are getting a little to crazy, and I almost guarantee you will stop and think before you make things worse for yourself. It's a magic question that has gotten me out of many sticky situations which I have found myself in more that I'd like to admit
Stay motivated
