How to Quit a Habit in 7 Seconds

Posted: 03 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT

Michael Hughes, founder of QuietMindSystem.com and author of the Kindle book, "The Secret Power of Meditation," shares a new technique for quitting long-standing habits.

Hughes explains the difference between an affirmation and his mental instruction method. "An affirmation is basically lying to yourself.

For example, say you want to lose weight but you just can't resist doughnuts. So you get up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and say, "I don't want to eat doughnuts, I don't want to eat doughnuts, I don't want to eat doughnuts."

Now, even as you're saying this, there's a little voice in the back of your head saying, "But I DO want to eat doughnuts!"

But the mental instruction method is different.

"For instance, say you're prone to worrying about things. And you get lost in a downward spiral of worry.

Whatever it may be – your kids, wife, husband, job, boyfriend, girlfriend, school, – everything! And you need to break that spiral.

Now, worry is an ego thing – as if you had the power to change things by worrying about them.

So you'd construct a mental instruction to defeat the negative one."

Hughes gives the full details in his recent post, www.quietmindsystem.com. Read More @ Source

The first retreat led by Dr. Naranjo will take place in the lovely Gaunts House, an ideal and well-known venue for spiritual and therapeutic retreats, far (but not too far) from the madding crowd. The retreat is set on the 23rd to the 29th of September, wit programs divided into morning, afternoon and evening sessions. The participants will be engaged from early until late in an eclectic set of activities that will provide diverse and complementary perspectives from which to approach, experience and understand the self and the other.
