Daily inspiration - Identity 2.0
Today, pick one temptation that your current identity fails to stop acting on. Even if you do it multiple times a day, the key is to resist at least one temptation once a day. Current identity + 1 temptation resistance = identity 2.0 (embodiment of the identity which overcomes the temptation). Take this as your path towards easing withdrawal. From 1 resistance per day, gradually increase to 2 or resist 1 time across multiple temptations. This way, you start to build momentum and neurologically rewire your brain to more easily resist each time. In the moments of successful resistance, you are one step closer to recovering your neurochemistry to a state where destructive habits are easier to replace. Oh, and also a small detail... You literally save precious time and life force, which you can use to build meaningful relationships and a purposeful lifestyle. Use it to spend time with a close one or go for a nature walk. This isn't cliché advice, commit to 1 temptation resistance and replace it with one of the behaviours mentioned above. Experience the feeling for yourself and watch the resistance become easier each time. This is how you begin to ease the withdrawals.
