Candeo - Porn Addiction Recovery show

Summary: Whether you realize it or not, a lot of persistent and consistent behavior has built your sexual addiction. You can learn how to take that same persistent, consistent ability and use it to begin breaking free. Hi, this is Candeo co-founder Mark Ka online pharmacy cialis stleman. As we help people all over the world get on the path to overcoming their unwanted sexual behaviors, one of the things we often teach is the fact that ?the same kind of process that got you into your unwanted behaviors and addictions can get you out.? I want to talk about that a little bit today. There are two virtually interchangeable words that help illustrate this principle. These word embody the things that I think are the special ingredients in the recipe for change. The two words are persistent and consistent. Without these two, all of the wonderful tools, techniques, training and technology within candeo wouldn't be very effective. They must be persistently and consistently applied. Now when I say the same kind of process that gets us into our addictions can get us out, if you think about it, being persistent and consistent really applies. The way we develop these entrenched habits and addictions is we consistently and persistently pursue them in our lives until they become automatic, the brain goes on autopilot. It really is that consistent and persistent process that gets us into these addictions that are so hard to break out of. Let's talk about persistency and consistency. These are simple ideas?we pretty much understand what they are. But unfortunately they're some of the most difficult parts of the process of change. If you look at these words and their definitions they simply mean ?the act of repeating a behavior over and over again, over time.? And the synonyms that go along with these words would be things like tenacity, doggedness, determination, perseverance. And of course you can see that the definition and the synonyms really do apply to how we build unwanted behaviors and addictions over time, and why they're so strong, so set and so entrenched. The key lies in how to apply persistency inconsistency to the process of breaking free?to a recovery process. Sounds easy and simple right? If I apply the same process that got me into this mess, I should be able to apply it to get out. Well, there are a couple of things about the human brain and behavior that make that process difficult. First, we have a hard time understanding that there is a difference between what we call initial brain activation and long-term brain restructuring. Whenever we have a desire to change ? we read a book, listen to a seminar, or come onto this website listen to a podcast, read an article or listen to Candeo student?s success we think, ” I really want to do this, I'm going to start changing right now.? And so, like a racehorse we burst out of the gate and speed down the track filled with energy and enthusiasm. Fueled by the novelty, the newness, the excitement and anticipation of the information, we can actually make some initial short-term changes. The problem is, as that racehorse charges down the track, after a while it's going to tire, slow down and eventually collapse on the track. It runs out of that initial energy and excitement. This is the same thing that happens with the human brain and behavior change. Initial enthusiasm and excitement are enough to get us out of the gate, and around the track a couple of times, but it isn't enough to help us continue long term and being persistent and consistent in the change process. So rather than a racehorse, we need to think of ourselves as a workhorse that comes out of the gate slow and steady, and plods down the track one step at a time, doing the hard work of change day after day, and can go for as long as it takes to build the long-term brain restructuring. Remember, you didn't form your unwanted behaviors or addiction overnight. It took a lot of repetition, [...]
