“Do not lead us into temptation!” - these words from one prayer very accurately reflect the essence of the problem. Temptations surround a person everywhere, and everyone has their own. For vegetarians, perhaps the greatest temptation is a mouth-watering meat dish, the 51st neckerchief is for a recovering shopaholic, and for a faithful married man, a young, blonde beauty from a nightclub.
Instructions
Step 1
The most important thing for a person is to establish certain rules for himself, following which will become decisive for you in life. Each person should set their own personal priorities. For example, if a person seeks to make a career, he must remove from life everything that can hinder him in this. In the first place should be what will strengthen his professional position, and only then everything else.
Step 2
If a woman wants to lose weight, the first place should be physical exercise, diet and procedures to reduce body fat. Decide which rules you should never break, which rules you should follow whenever possible, and which rules you can break. Willpower does not come from nowhere, it needs to be developed.
Step 3
Having prioritized, think about what pleasures and joys you can afford without breaking your rules. The main mistake most people make is that they set high standards for themselves, completely depriving themselves of pleasure. Only rare ascetics can live in strict rules, while the majority need at least rare and small joys. If a person does not receive them, sooner or later he will break down, and all the rules will be violated. For example, workaholics can afford once a week, say on Friday, to finish work a little earlier and relax - go to the movies, take a walk in the park, spend an evening at a bar with friends, or just read a favorite book in bed.
Step 4
If you are irresistibly drawn to shopping, if at the sight of beautiful shop windows your legs become weak and uncontrollably pulls to look inside - try to remember that you already have a lot of things that you practically do not use! Consider what you could have done if you had saved the money you spent on them! At least one more time would go on an interesting tour abroad. In general, in these cases, the goal helps a lot, that is, you have to set it in front of you, for example, buy a car. And when you see another beautiful dress, remember your goals, which are more significant than this purchase.
Step 5
Learn to reward yourself for your courage. When you face a serious temptation, praise yourself. After giving up a portion of the cake in the hope of becoming slimmer and prettier, take yourself to the movies, buy a new lipstick, or give yourself another gift. Praise yourself, know that you are a fine fellow.
Step 6
And perhaps the best thing to remember is that temptations are easier to resist by avoiding them. Don't put yourself in a position that makes it difficult for you to resist. Losing weight - do not buy sweets, do not want to cheat on your beloved wife - beware of bachelor parties. Nobody is iron, remember this. In order not to succumb to worldly temptations, hermits go to deserts and mountains, where there is simply no opportunity to succumb to weaknesses.
