What is the first step towards change that isn’t drastic?<\/p>\n
You want, need, have to quit smoking, but it’s not working?
\nYou want or need to lose weight? That’s not happening either.
\nYou want to always have a nice hairstyle? Not happening.
\nHow to change habits?
\nThe best way is indirectly.<\/p>\n
In homeopathy, there’s a rule \u2013 like is treated with like.
\nSo.<\/p>\n
Find someone who smokes more than you, who smokes worse cigarettes than you, who has been smoking longer than you, who is sicker than you.<\/p>\n
Hang out with that person.
\nI guarantee you’ll soon stop hanging out with that person, or you’ll stop smoking.
\nSomething will happen either way.
\nIf you want to quit smoking, keep hanging out with that person.
\nBecause that’s the remedy.<\/p>\n
Or find someone who is heavier than you, who eats more than you, who has been on diets longer than you, who is more desperate than you, hang out with them.
\nYou’ll cure your lack of motivation at least a bit and you’ll do something.<\/p>\n
This is called energy therapy.
\nThat’s how homeopathy works, but this is just on another level.<\/p>\n
But I have a better suggestion for energy therapy.<\/p>\n
Of course, a better approach excludes the lazy ones.
\nIt excludes those who don’t want to move in any way, not even energetically.<\/p>\n
Neither in mind, nor in body, nor out of their own house.
\nTheir intestines don’t move either, they know that.<\/p>\n
Engineer and physician Daniel Wolpert said that the only reason for having a brain is movement (one of his experiments… there’s a little creature that looks for the perfect place to settle, and when it finds it, the first thing it does is eat its brain!).
\nSo, we need a brain to decide where we’re going to move.<\/p>\n
The brain decides what it craves, what it desires, what it moves toward, and the muscles lead us there.
\nBut thinking without movement leads to madness, depression, anxiety… like the lack of movement in the intestines, which leads to constipation, flatulence, fears…<\/p>\n
But here’s the other side of the coin.<\/p>\n
You can hang out with those worse off than you, to gain a clearer insight into your behavior. This gives you a chance to improve.<\/p>\n
However, you can surround yourself with people who are better than you, who don’t smoke, who don’t gorge themselves and hide from themselves when they enter a bakery…
\nSurround yourself with those who have higher standards than you do, let their energy carry you if you can’t take the first step on your own right now.<\/p>\n
And don’t be afraid to fall a few times.<\/p>\n
Falls are rewards for attempts.<\/p>\n
They boost the ego.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
