The Addict

The Addict


When we attach ourselves strongly to something, then it makes us unable to leave that thing. But the problem starts when that addiction makes us so weak, unhealthy, and it becomes our world. Many people made their mind like that they can’t live without those habits. I am not talking about anyone single bad habit, according to me; any thought which is disturbing you mentally every day is also a bad habit.

Yesterday, I was reading Harvard Medical school article which explains ‘How addiction hijacks the brain’. There mentioned, in 1930’s researchers found the cause for addiction was a lack of will power in people. But today we see addiction as a chronic disease that changes both brain structure and function. 
   
How can anybody overcome this?
It is possible only when we can take strong decisions. Bad habits are not part of us rather they are just part of our mind. When we think like this then it is not difficult to remove these habits. 
Kids don’t know what they are doing, and they don’t know even what is good and bad. It is similar to our mind as well and our mind behaves like a kid every minute. It is always attracted to short time pleasure. So, don’t be a slave to your mind, because this will not end here and it will always try to go to the next level every day. I know it is not possible suddenly. If you feel, you are addicted to something then try to give at least half of that time to a healthy routine. The main reason for bad habits is our bad routine.

What is the best routine?
Well, you can think of the work which will make you healthy and happy. An early morning walk is a good routine so that you will see the beauty of nature and you will meet some wonderful peoples as well. Early morning walk makes us peaceful which is needed for a healthy and happy life. Like this Swimming, Cycling, Gym, Yoga, Sports, and your hobbies are the other things which you can use your free time. Following the same routine makes you bore, so make use of your free time involving in different activities. Keep yourself busy in a healthy routine. Our mind always attracted to new things and change is that attraction. 
When our day is peaceful then our sleep will be blissful. But remember, sleep maybe rest for the body but not for the mind. Our busy life is full of tension and stress because we will never give rest to our minds. At least, daily ten minutes meditation will give us a peaceful mind which keeps us motivated and energetic throughout the day. We were addicted to bad habits because we gave time for that. Just imagine, what happens when we shift that time slowly towards good habits?
Wonderful! Isn’t it?

What is good and bad?
I must tell you, everything will be good when it is in the limit but when it crosses limit then definitely it will become bad.
 
How to come out of these bad habits?
Before four years, one of my friends was addicted to something. People treated him differently and his parents were worried about him. But recently I met him at the bus stand and guess what? He is a completely different person now.
 
I asked him, “How is this possible?”

He replied, “I made my mind that’s all and I feel I am experiencing my life now.”
  
That was amazing! Happy to see him like this. Now, he is working in a bank and moreover he is a healthy person.
   
Never lose yourself in this big battle. Every day you must be mentally prepared for this and every day you must fight to bring a better person from you. Suddenly, we can only expect accidents, shocks, and heart attacks but not good things. Sudden things will always damage our body because our body was not prepared for that. Good things take time. Just like our muscle growth and body growth take time as it needed to give a healthy body. It is possible when we go with a slow process and you can see many living examples of peoples who left their bad habits. They changed their habits because they thought one day they can do this. It is not impossible as well. 
Bad habits may be a pleasure for you, it may be another world for you, and it may be everything for you. But think about your loved ones and you are everything for them. Their eyes only expecting you and they depend on you. If any habit stealing your happiness, separating you from this world, and separating you from yourself. 

Then, 

What is the reason to be addicted to that habit?






Thank you for your time,

Addiction of good habits is good, but it's not true for bad habits. We should never fall for bad habits as they can ruin our life. At the same time a person with bad habits can change his life if decides to do so.

Improve your skills, and be the best version of yourself| Motivational articles 2021|

Be the best version of yourself We have been fixed ourselves to something from the years. I am this; I look like this, I talk like this, this is how I feel, and many more.  These may abstract us to change ourselves in some circumstances. Changing ourselves may feel like we are selling ourselves, and we take it too personally.  Sometimes we think people recognize us by these things. We will not remain ideal for the people who follow us; if we leave what we are. For many, this may be a  problem. Do you think it is better? Or Do you think we are creating a boundary for ourselves? If that boundary will not damage you, then it is OK to go with it. But if you see that boundary as the rope that binds you to explore you or your potential. Then is it good? Giving more options gives you more chances, and more choices can give you better decisions. If you want to choose the best, then choose the best with more choices. True knowledge is all about the fight between best versus best. ...

Inspirational moral stories for adults| Motivational stories for work| Motivational story|  After 5 years, Anand was going to his hometown. While traveling on the bus, he was talking to himself,  “Success makes me happy and fills my life with full of hopes. When everything is going good then I want to explore this life, but when failures enter then all those hopes will dry, and life feels like a burden for me. The important thing is life will remain the same forever but the thing is we changed ourselves. We changed our view of life. If we bring even a little change in our thoughts then life also changes for us.  But, why we fail to understand this? Why do we feel everything is going against us? This cycle of, success and failures, will never end.  How many days did you strike in this cycle? Is it possible to get out of this?” Like this throughout the journey, Anand questioning himself. Anand reached his town and his friend Neerav was waiting for him on the bus stand....

Motivated at Work| Motivational articles 2020|

Motivated at Work What makes us stay motivated? And  What will push us towards our dreams ? Many times we fail to carry that motivation and that is the gap that can affect our growth. We may forget what we learned. So, we must not give a chance for these gaps. Don’t fall into this trap . Whatever may be the situation, try to walk towards your goal and that is the way which keeps us pushing daily. For the last month, I was postponing my work. This stress killed me daily. Every minute I suffered when I remember those works. These lead to overthinking and results in unsatisfied life . This will make us sad throughout the day. With a heavy mind, it is difficult to lift ourselves. I was frustrated. I said myself one day, “enough is enough”. With dedication, I started to work and I noticed it was easy to tackle this when we work. Because everyday little feeling enters our mind that “This is possible” and that feeling will take us near to our goal. Daily we learn something new and which m...

Worries| How not to worry| Motivational blogs| Self motivation articles| Motivation|

 Worries Ask anybody how they want to live? Everyone wants to be happy, possess peace of mind, and want to enjoy this only life.  But sometimes, we will strike between our past and future. The worries of the future will suppress our happy minds. Think about this; we all can predict the future. It may happen like what we planned, or it might not.  Then, what is the reason to toil every single second of our life to that unknown future? How long of this? By doing this, we are not wasting our precious time now? Finally, is it OK to scarify our present for a better future? Yes, it must be our one of the duty but remember it should not be our only duty.  Worrying a lot about the future may not be good because it fills fear in us. Fear will not allow us for the right thinking.  Too much is too bad. Every time we must fight with courage, but fear must protect us from falling. Yes, like this, both will help with our progress. We must analyze the current situation to solv...

Limitations| Self motivation articles| Motivational blogs 2020|

  Limitations A limitation is a beautiful tool. Positively, it adds power to our character. Sometimes what we do not do is very important. Not doing some actions must need some maturity of the mind because it is not easy to judge the situation correctly. Limiting ourselves to something works wonderfully; if we know how to use this. But our limitations should not limit us to think broad. It is just like this when you get updated, then absolutely your circle of limit may increase its area, but it should not restrict you to achieve more. Push your limit and expand your territories. Add what is needed for you, add what benefits you, and add what is better for your surroundings. Only these little changes may add tremendous impact to your life.  Take risk but limit yourself to danger because taking a risk can give you the skills to tackle situations. It welcomes you to difficulties and makes you hard. Don’t forget to aim high because it gives you high skills.  Construct courage...
