Practical tips for changing habits | Peter Attia and James Clear

[@strategicsage7694]

There is some good practical advice here. Wisely planning to succeed is vital. However, it's also taken way too far. Environment is important, but it is not an irresistible force like gravity. We do not have to take the easy path when we are tired, emotional, etc. This kind of thing keeps people locked in the mental prisons they have made for themselves. We all have the capability to simply refuse to indulge in our negative/self-destructive/undesired behaviors. We've trained ourselves to do those things, and we can train ourselves out *regardless* of environment. The most important battle is not with our surroundings, it is with ourselves. Generally speaking, there isn't a limitation on our *ability* to discipline ourselves, there's usually a limitation on our *willingness* and dramatic change happens when we embrace the pain of adjusting.

What you’ve said is and isn’t true Some people do need a change in environment for specific changes in behaviors, saying otherwise denies reality for a lot of people

Smoking and drinking alcohol are actually symbiotic with each other . I might even say coffee is also symbiotic with smoking . I gave up all three cold turkey and actually wasnt dificult because it was like only quitting one thing and i was good never to partake again

A miracle Clear is alive today.

Habits and addiction are distant cousins at best although I do agree they can be associated to trigger the other. Good tips to form good habits.

When I lived alone I would buy the smallest package of Oreos in the grocery & a quart of milk, eat whatever amount I wanted (dunked, of course). Then I would bag them up & promptly march them out to the trash dumpster. I did this once or twice a year as a ‘binge’, and never kept junk food in my apartment pantry. Wasteful? Yes, it was. Kept my weight down? Definitely.

Do what works for you

[@pbjones68]

Wait a minute. How can you have anything left to take to the trash. There is no package of cookies I won't want to eat the whole thing

Wheatthins, cracked me up. Our 6 kids are grown up now and thankfully all slim, exercise and are healthy, but what a 20 year, draining experience. Part of parenting.

Idea: use RSA keys paradigm as an accountability tool: 1 partner is the custodian of a small vault, and the other partner is the custodian of the key. The couple stores chocolate inside the vault. Eating chocolate becomes a real conscious choice of two people

I am so thankful I never got in to hardcore drugs, I would not be here if so. My Uncle was in to hardcore drugs for my entire life until he died and I never understood why his brothers and sisters did nothing to help him. Yes my entire family both sides mom and dad are alcoholics and smokers I actually started to think it was normal! It isn't. Hardcore drugs are a totally different thing. I have always said since I was little, if I ever have a loved one, close friend, or family member that somehow gets addicted to drugs, I would lock them up in my house. Board up the windows, lock the doors, provide food and water and make sure they are okay. And just wait it out. I don't get why people don't do this. I would one hundred percent. With no moral qualms. I am still mad and sadened that no one did anything for my uncle. His brother and sisters could have done more and didn't.
