A while back I made a solemn vow that I would stop gushing over texts. I decided that anytime I heard the "bing" indicating I had received a message, I would not feel the urgency to check immediately.
Not only did my vow not last; I didn’t even start! Lol
The issue with how we attack our problems is that we go after the problem, focusing solely on the behavior which is not meant to be

You’ve done this too, right? Ha ha
You’ve decided, perhaps even declared, that you were going to change for the better
"This year I’m going to eat healthily and exercise every day"
Orrr even said
"Okay that’s it. This is the last time. I will never watch pornography again!"

Whatever your vow was..my sister and my dear brother, how did it go?
I would guess not well. Why? It's because the focus is only on modifying behavior.
You aren't getting to the root of the problem, which is the exact thought that produces the behavior. Do you gerrit?

So one day, having decided to tackle the problem (tree) you go to your backyard with a small axe or maybe a small knife and then you pick one if it's ugly branches and cut it off the tree.
And you're happy
And you're happy
Lmaoo
The next day you are surprised to see that the tree is still standing. Standing strong.As you stare out your window, you could almost swear it’s smirking at you. Saying "hi love"

Hopefully, no one here would try to kill a tree just by removing a branch because the branch obviously isn’t the problem. THE TREE IS THE PROBLEM.
Thats how it is..
Thinking you can change a behavior just by removing the behavior isbecause the behavior isn’t the problem
The pathway that leads you to the behavior is the problem.

because the behavior isn’t the problemThe pathway that leads you to the behavior is the problem.
If you stop a behavior, it will come back, unless you remove the root. The root of the behavior, and
replace the pathway that leads you to the behavior.
How will you do this?
