Are You Ready to STOP Those Same Old Bad Habits but Need Help With a Plan of Action? These 3 Steps Saved My Life!

Self Control - A podcast by Patrick Strevens

I have spent years trying to understand why I fell into toxic habits like pornography, marijuana, and overeating. I tried and failed to quit those habits more times than I can count.Today, I consider myself free and clear of both porn and weed. Now I am working on healthy eating. (I've lost 30lbs, but the battle continues!)It wasn't until I regularly did these 3 things that I began to understand why I self-sabotaged with harmful behaviours. Then and only then, was I able to quit.In this episode, I will share these 3 steps: Acceptance, Awareness and Expression, and I will walk you through exactly what that means with real-life examples.I truly believe that when it comes to non-life-threatening addictions and bad habits, we can all be empowered TODAY if we are willing to look deeper. There's nowhere else to go or anything you have to buy.But how do you start? What questions do you ask? Where do you look? What do you actually do?All of that is laid out here in just 20 minutes. Join me as I continue to understand my own self-sabotage and toxic habits and work to leave them behind.
