Addiction and Habit
-
@GreyWind yessss
-
@Bonnibel Alrighty! It means that habituation is a part of the process that leads to addiction, right?
-
@GreyWind yeah I believe so
-
@GreyWind Both grow out of routine behaviors. Every action has consequences, sometimes good sometimes bad. It's worth a reflecting on. Do we have unwanted behavior, bad habit or addiction? Should we keep doing it?
-
@kaia_ true
-
@doofmcsloop Yea.. Not all habit lead to addiction. It's natural that we always want to do more of things that feel good, right? I think we need to go back to how our brains evolved the ability to learn, in order to understand it :)
-
@kaia_ usually only the bad things are addictive, good things are much harder to become addicted to, like being nice to people ahahaha
-
@GreyWind i'm addicted to multiple different drugs but they're not a habit so like... yeah
-
@lostthatnight Differentiating between addictive substances and behavior? This is interesting 😃😊🙂
-
@kaia_ The long term outcomes or the far reaching consequences of some actions aren't well-thought before hand. It seems that these kinda actions could be the beginnings of forming a habit.
-
@kaia_ I recently saw a post on tws about guilty pleasures, the activities/things we know we shouldn't do but do it anyways coz they provide short-term pleasure - we feel good about it 😄. I believe that those too, when repeated could become a habit or addiction.
-
@GreyWind Do you have any idea how to change gears in the moment when tempted by a habit that doesn't serve best?
-
@kaia_ do something different that breaks the temptation or distracts you haha
-
@GreyWind habits and addiction,
Habit are things we do for long time and don't choose with Consciousness not having a influence of outer material to gain something . for example picking nose , closing eyes , biting tongue.
Addiction we choose with Consciousness to gain some thing with outer material influence like substances drug food , sex ... -
@kaia_ ** At that very moment**? I'd invoke my ego and become adamant against that temptation.
"How dare it tempt me?!?!" I'd say this to temptation!
Not giving in feels good, and it helps in strengthening one's belief to overcome that habit.
This is kinda first baby step. 😊 -
@kaia_ how's it goin'? lolol
