An old method but still a good one


Half way through January those New Year resolutions may not have the power they once had at the start of the month.

Here's an old technique but still a good one for when you are trying to stop doing something.

Take sturdy elastic band and put it around your wrist; we want the blood to keep flowing, so make sure it is not too tight.

Now each time you have that thought cross your mind that you want to stop, pull out the elastic band and let snap back on to your wrist...ITS GOING TO HURT!

You will begin to associate 'that' thought or action with the pain of the band snapping back into place and pretty soon your unconscious mind will build the connection that this unwanted thought or action will lead to pain; it wont take long.

Then those unwanted thoughts or actions will occur less often. Used in conjunction with other methods this will help you stay on track with those New Year resolutions.

Try it today.
