Just because its normal doesn't mean its good.

What!
Friends that is not good.
Our habits in society are seemingly slowly deteriorating us. Somehow we have gotten to a point where this is just 'normal'.
Question
What if we didn't choose the poison?
Not that easy, I know.
Oh wait no I don't.
It's possible you have just had people tell you its hard your whole life and nobody tell you to get up, put your pants on and make a different choice.
You can Make A Different Choice
Different from the one you are currently making. We all for the most part know our different ditches. Maybe its binge watching the office - how do you feel after that?
Maybe its stopping for that milkshake after a hard situation - how do you fell after that? OR a shopping spree? hows that CC bill feel - maybe its that addiction to FB/insta/pinterest/porn/reddit/game etc. How is that working out for you? The hangover always comes - it has different forms.
Different Choices You Can Make
- Go workout - it will actually stimulate the dopamine you crave (without the hangover)
- Smile - it messed with your psyche - do it!
- Make your meal yourself - its cheaper, tastes better and way more rewarding
- Leave your house without your phone...i know crazy...totally serious
- Go and encourage someone - a letter, text, email, face to face, lunch date (all work great)- and it works better then anti-depressants
- Pray - I dare you...
- Go to bed on time - what good really happens after midnight?
I could go on - the point is you dont have to pick poison. It's normal in our society - but how about we make a different choice and we pick life?
Has anyone ever told you that you have the power to make a different choice? If not please, let me be the first.
