Addiction is in your mind. That is one of the mantras of psychologists all over the world and the fact of the matter is, that is one of the truths of bad habits and cyclic dysfunctional behaviours. Anything from smoking, over eating, drugs, random addictions and bad patterns of behaviour can be traced to the subconscious mind. This article will talk about the 3 great tips on how to overcome your addiction; and these are methods that will last. In technical terms, the body doesn’t need nicotine, it doesn’t need caffeine and it doesn’t need the effects of heroine.

 

These 3 drugs and other sorts of compounds and addictions do not fulfil a critical bodily function, they are not integral in the process of daily survival and they are not food for any of the systems in the body. The reason we are addicted to them is because of the ‘feeling’ that they produce within us. The first time a person picks up a cigarette, it is usually an unpleasant experience, but as the nicotine sets in the body responds to this catalytic drug and produces feelings of euphoria and physical pleasure. Do this often enough and what you get is an experience that is similar to affirmation and positive messaging. The subconscious mind is a network of raw emotions and it associates the good feeling you get from smoking or eating as a ‘good’ thing’.

 

This gets reproduced in the human body and the mind as becomes a necessity, which makes it dangerous. The subconscious mind then readily believes that the body needs to have this good feeling all the time, so it reached into your emotions, your central nervous systems and your physiological structure and brings about the chain reactions that lead to ‘craving’. How do you combat this powerful effect? First you need to taper down your addictions. If you are smoking 20 a day, go to 15 for a week, then 10 for another - until you are basically down to zero. You have to ease your mind and body into lower doses until it perceives a negligible amount as the need which then will rapidly go to zero. You also need to take your mind off what you are craving, that is one of the problems with addictions.

 

Fill up your timetable with activities that bring about other natural highs - like adrenalin. Take part in a sport or do something exciting to get the body going and your mind of your addictions. Last but not least, you should try to adopt some subliminal tactics. Look out for products like subliminal CD’s - they are a prime example of how technology has stepped in to reprogram the subconscious mind and take away the addictions that have been placed in them. These CD’s are available online and for a small price, you can be assured to be slowly rid of your addictions. These are some great tips on how to overcome you addiction and I am sure if you follow these tactics (and more), you will be living a much healthier life in no time.
