The time it takes for us to realize that we have an issue is about less than a second. The time it takes is to correct this issue can take a lifetime, why is that? I was sitting in my room knowing I have an issue but continuing to do the same thing over and over as if I was listening to the same song over and over again. Waking up I tell my self that this will be the day when I change, this will be the day I start off right. Self sabotaging seems to be the modern realization of someone’s ego. I tend to stay on the same page without wanting to turn the page with fear of it. I tend to want to resort back to the same things I am accustomed to and can’t get to the part I want to be and without it I feel alone and depressed. With the same people I seem to go out with, they seem to be friendly but in the end I am betrayed by their desires of drinking and loose women. Goals I set every start of the week seems to be dwindled by the end when my urge to use the bottle to solve my social problems.

• Write it down- Writing it down is better than just thinking it; this tends to be more of a dedication than just the thought of changing. Put this paper somewhere you will look everyday like the bathroom mirror or on the steering wheel of your car.
• Make goals- seeking out an answer to your problems that you only can solve can be hard so make goals that are attainable. Stick to them but also put steps in your goals with a time constraint so you can reward yourself when you hit each step. The rewards cannot be something that will sabotage but compliment the goal but also it shows you that you are achieving it. EX: lose 1 pound a week,  reward is eating fat free ice cream
• Acting the part- Has anyone ever told you this? Acting the way you want to be can be very beneficial because it gives a sense of what it is you want to become. Don’t lie about who you are but practice in saying you are this certain way and how happy you are for being this way can be positive encouragement.
