Hello Lovelies, 

Allowing Urges and not responding, reacting, white knuckling or giving into urges is the cornerstone to be able to overcome addictions or habits that don't give us results we want.  If you ask your tomorow self how they would like their mind and body treated, the decisions we make would more likely be in line with how we envisino our future and how we would like to show up. 

An Urge is a feeling that follow a well practised thought like "I deserve to have that drink because I had a hard day" or "One piece of cake won't hurt me" with the feeling that there is little control of the outcome: 

Allow that feeling to be in your body fully, which means: 

-Feel the feeling. 

-Imagine the color and shape. 

-What sound would it make?

-What would it say or tell you?

-Experience the sensation of having that drink or cake.

-What would you feel the next day, next week, month and year

-When you get through an urge without answering, praise yourself and put a marble in a jar. 

This is your URGE JAR

When you hit 100 urges you can do and handle anything.
