Constant failure

Postby Dr.Andrew » Thu Feb 13, 2014 3:00 am

Well the problem seems relatively simple in theory but for whatever reason I cannot maintain the new desireable behaviors longer than a week then I just decay back into compulsion

So basically Ill just state that I have set up a bad habit of going on the labtop before doing homework and regardless what I do there appears to be this change of thought that I will go on it

I have problems with my own self regulation for a long time
Although I know ways to fix these problems
For whatever reason i can't maintain it
And Ive been trying for years so
I am VERY compulsive person anything that is feels good I overindulge
It never feels enough
As If I have no turn off switch
However I know Im capable of it I
just don't know the solution to my problem
Any similar experience eh?

You know, I'd say your ability to step outside of yourself and identify potential problematic areas, is a huge step towards success.

Love is the healing force. Try looking after yourself more effectively. Eat the right amount of healthy food, drink the right amount of healthy drinks, get a good balance between work, rest and play. More self respect, more self appreciation, more self approval, more self acceptance, be your own best friend.

You are a indecisive type of person. Maybe try to focus on what are you doing. Set a goal, but remember to always relax and focus. Destruction may occurs but ignore it.

Yep, exactly where I am last time...

Perhaps this is due to your desire for what you want is not strong enough.
You can still survive even if you did not accomplish what you set out for.

And to be honest, this is exactly what is happening to most people out there.
There is nothing wrong with this. You just need to decide and commit 100%
to the things that you want to do.

One very powerful technique to create the accountability is by making a public
commitment. Tell someone about your goals and if you did not achieve them,
do something sickening such as eating a can of dog food. This is purely
just an example and I've heard people did this and it works for them because
they just can't stand to eat the dog food, so they go all the way to accomplish
what they have promised.

Burn the bridge so you will have no other options but to go all out. 8)
