Don't fight it, crowd it out

Often times we have bad habits or less than empowering ways of thinking.

You may be tempted to "fight" these tendancies.

Don't do it.

Remember what you resist persists.

So what shoudl you do instead?

Crowd it out.

When in doubt crowd it out.

What do I mean?

Let's say you are concerned that you are putting on weight. Well you could fight the urge to overeat or try to force yourself to go to the gym.

But neither of those things works, at least not for very long.

So what can you do instead?

Focus on physical activities you like to do, focus on healthy food you like to eat. Focus on fun things you can do when you have the energy.

In other words, don't fight the disempowering thought, crowd them out.
