Porn: Don't Be A Chicken
|
The biggest reason we don’t quit doing something
we wish we could is fear! If you think you’re addicted to porn and have
failed to take action it’s probably because you are afraid. To gain more
courage reflect on the following and then take action.
1. Imagine what your life would look like without porn. What would you
do with your time? Who would you spend it with and what would you be
doing. How would your life change? What would it look like?
2. Expect to do it. Get rid of doubts. What you expect you get. If you
expect to succeed you will. If you expect to fail you will. Remind
yourself you deserve a good life. You deserve real loving relationships
and everything that goes with them.
3. Let go of your fear. Fear is negative thinking. It spreads like a
deadly virus. Negative thinking and thoughts of your next porn fix block
your miracle. Have hope and replace fear and thoughts of using
pornography with positive memories about your friends, good times or
music.
4. Become open to the new life ahead of you. We often think we need to
know exactly what our future will look like. That’s controlling and
impossible. When you make a decision to quit others will be put on your
path in life to help you move forward! It will seem magical.
5. Imagine the new you. Do you want more enthusiasm, self-confidence and
less guilt and shame? Then see yourself that way. Fake it until you make
it. You deserve the best in spite of your past.
6. Don’t talk about doubts, fears or limits to others. Only talk about
your desire, strength and commitment. What you focus on expands. Talk
about your success.
7. Pray. It works. Pray for yourself. Pray for others. Pray for your
enemies. Pray for the porn industry, pornographers and porn stars. Feel
compassion and love for yourself and others.
8. Don’t expect perfection. If you mess up get back on the right track
immediately. Relapsing is part of the process. Refuse to condemn
yourself. Don’t use it as an excuse to quit. No one is perfect.
