Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.

You can make really effective changes when your consciousness is free of emotional turmoil.

We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.

Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.

You should always be aware that your head creates your world.

Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.

Keep in mind that you don't need to be addicted to money in order to acquire it. You can prefer to have money; you will then be able to enjoy whatever money you receive, but your happiness will not be contingent on the size of your bank account.
