Habits and Happiness

The​ lasting​​ experience of joy and wellbeing truly belittles any temporary difficulties posed by the ​implementation and integration of new behaviors.

Mastering the beneficial ability to discontinue the performance of detrimental, unnecessary, habits; a quality which may be acquired by persistent exercise! However, once the skill is refined by practice relinquishing unfortunate, unserviceable, activities becomes commonplace.​​​​​​​​ (budding bad habits; made easy)

Relinquishing a disadvantageous habit simply entails an abstention from the activity(ies) demanded by the particular, unproductive, pattern. ​However, our motivation, underlying our aspiration, to relinquish a fruitless or perhaps destructive behavior or habit, must be ascertained (uncovered and acknowledged); and thereafter the foundation upholding our motivation should be continuously nourished and cultivated; maintained strong and evident in our recollection!   










​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Moderation

​​
​​Most people believe in “moderation”; certainly, however, destructive pathologies must be released. It seems ludicrous to ask a person performing violence, if he would “moderate” the violent activity: the violence ought cease immediately. Many of us perform tremendous, horrendous, conscious and unconscious, violence against our bodies, in due course, this so called "personal neglect" will cause indirect harm to others by the incapacitating ineffectiveness of our presence; diabetes, gout, lethargy, cancerdepression, alzheimer's, artherosclerosis and general weakness, may strongly diminish the value of our contribution to our families and communities
​Cultivation of profound wellbeing and sustainable happiness requires the gradual or immediate discontinuation of the performance of destructive habits or behaviors.

​​Surroundings and Circumstances 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​Being in a supportive environment is naturally conductive during the embryonic stages of implementing constructive changes; encouraging the nascent and benign personal transformation; greatly increasing the likelihood of success.

However, personal transformation is achievable regardless of the inherent conductivity in our environment: if an individual honestly plans to relinquish harmful patterns of habituation; a transformation of "the environmental conditions" will be effectuated. We will simply and intentionally move into places which are conducive or supportive.
Remember: determination represents the key unlocking the door of success and completion, regardless of the endeavor.

​​​​​​​Letting Go​​​​​​​​​​ Gracefully

​​​
Fostering transformation rears change: the acquisition of refreshing - happiness supporting habits will result in a brand new experience of life: the old must give way to the new!

Even loved ones might bar or constrict the course of freedom and change, neither you nor the beloved may be served by mutual, joint, stagnation; often we cling to one another, countenancing and reinforcing ill served patterns and behaviors, since, to be sure, misery loves company; we form a mutual, sometimes unconscious agreements; tacitly, conjointly, avoiding the mobilization of the courage implementing beneficial change will demand, which unfortunately averts the emergence of lasting happiness.

Finding the delicate balance amid upholding and following new uplifting and liberating manners of living, whilst, simultaneously, refraining from excessive judgment; if or when old behavioral patterns creep onto the surface of our daily life, strengthens, eases and accelerates the nascent, fragile, process.

The forgoing of degenerative habituation ought inspire joy and celebration: however, nevertheless, discontinuing the nourishment of addictions can temporarily cause feelings of sorrow and anger, since the abuser identifies strongly with object(s) associated with the abuse (songs, people, lifestyle, etc.).
​Remember: overcoming a troublesome period of toilsome tribulation may often, in due course, foster feelings of immense strength and determination: in-power-meant.

Motivation

​A transpersonal purpose: strengthening our new foundation upholding our resolve and determination.


​​​Below we highlight a most powerful source of motivation nourishing
 and sustaining the fragile and delicate process of relinquishing unserviceable habits and lifestyles.

Avoiding the needless destruction of the planetary ecology will call for a drastic transformation of our collective behavioral patterns. 

​​
​​Action is absolutely necessary on every level of being!

​Detoxifying the body and mind must parallel external attempts to detoxify and heal the planet:
​A poisoned mind lacks the will power and clarity, and a poisoned body lacks the strength and energy, which introducing powerful, effective, benign, transforming, initiatives will require.

Honoring the mind and body are absolutely necessary preconditions for any benevolent sustainable planetary shift, since our honor (standards) and wellbeing conditions and determines our actions and initiations: how can we honor the planet if we cannot honor ourselves; a small, yet vital, part of the planet?

The world is dominated by culturally conditioned modes of operation: a person deciding to consume far less animal products may encounter difficulties in the form of temporary social alienation; a decision to significantly reduce plastic consumption demands substantial willpower and consistency, since shopkeepers are preprogrammed to pack items into a plastic bag. Imagine the apparent difficulties emerging simply from changing destructive personal habits, consider the efforts necessary for effecting sustainable planetary transformation; very much One and the same.

​​W
hen we successfully alter and better our personal behavior; our entire perspective gradually changes; a personal victory in our character cultivating belief, strength, independence and determination; the very forces necessary for ecological salvation.

​We must become strong, willful and energized; out-competing and outsourcing reactionary forces consumed by trivial personal considerations, yet we must remain graceful, humble and peaceful; forgone are visions of grand ideologies and useless philosophies. We are all intrinsically PART of the planetary ecology; a supreme truth, ultimately, declaring all other allegiances secondary (nation state, ethnicity, etc.).
​ 
For the sake of every ONE relinquish the unserviceable.
