Temptations - The Source

Where do these temptations to smoke, eat cookies and skip a study period come from? They are coming from your inner mind. The negatives are sending you these temptations. Where did they come from? They came from past defeats, childhood experiences, learned behaviors, parents, peers, stress, anger, health problems are a few of the sources. We do not want to just overcome the temptation and not eat those cookies. What we want is to remove the negatives thereby removing or greatly reducing the temptations in the future.

First we have to find them. The best time is when they surface in the form of temptations. I want ice cream. I can't do it. I'm too tired to workout. I will start tomorrow. Start keeping a journal. We want to find patterns. These negatives will do whatever it can to stop you. If your goal is to lose weight look at the times when you are tempted to eat junk or overeat. If you are a sales person look at the times you are tempted to stall, not ask for sale or just bummed out.


Journal
Where: Work
When: Break time
What was going on: I am behind schedule. I want a snickers bar.
What I did: I ate one.

Do this for a few days to a week. Look for patterns. You may be surprised. Once we start seeing the patterns we will get an idea of what we are up against. This can work for weight loss, stress, better grades, anger, and many other goals. Do a journal for your goal for a week. Examine and reflect on the results.
