The Problem is your thinking

Remember – The fundamental problem of your addictive behavior and mental health issues is that you think you are not good enough, and there is a lack of self-love due to your negative thinking about yourself.  Your problem is a negative thought you created in your mind, not your body!

You are Responsible

Remember – You are entirely responsible for all your experiences, including your addictive behavior and mental health concerns.  Assume and accept your complete responsibility for everything you think, believe, say, feel, do, and experience.  You are responsible for everything you experience and that happens in your life!

You choose your experiences

Remember – You choose all your experiences, including your addictive behavior and mental health issues. Be aware and conscious of your choices, especially about the negative thoughts you choose to create about yourself every moment of the day and their consequences. Your choices about the thoughts and beliefs that you create determine your life!

Your thoughts create your problems

Remember – You are responsible for your addictive behavior and mental health issues by the very thoughts that you create and choose to think, especially the thoughts and beliefs about yourself, about your value and worth, precisely the thought that you are not good enough.  The cause of your addictive behavior and mental health problems is a thought you have about yourself, a negative thought that you created in your mind, not in the body, a thought that keeps telling you that you are not good enough.

You have the power to change

Remember – You have always had the power to change and transform your life, including your addictive behavior and mental health issues.  You are the cause of your life, not the effect of it.  You are not and never have been a victim.  You have always been doing the best you can, and when you learn and know more and gain insight and awareness, you will create the possibility of doing something different and better for yourself, to live life powerfully and not as a victim.  You are not, nor have you ever been, a victim!  You have always had the power to transform!

You are not your thoughts

Remember – You are not your thoughts.  You are something different.  You are responsible for and choose all your thoughts and, as such, have the power to create other thoughts that are more positive and healthier for you and your life.  You can create positive feeling thoughts about yourself if you choose to do so.  This is the key to your transformation: believing you can change the trajectory of your life by transforming your negative thoughts about yourself.

You need to forgive

Remember – You need to release the past and forgive everyone, especially yourself, which will allow for the possibility of you accessing your inner power to change and transform your life, as well as end your mental health issues and addictive behavior forever.  Remember, your past does not exist but appears to you merely as a thought or belief in memory that can be changed or transformed.

Your power is in the present moment

Remember – Your point of power to transform your life is always in the present moment, not to be found in your thinking or thoughts about the past or future.  Your past and your future do not exist, only Now exists!  What you think, believe, and do now, in the present moment, matters as it determines what you will experience in life.

The solution is to love yourself

Remember– To transform your life and to end your addictive behavior and mental health problems forever will require that you learn how to respect, approve, accept, and come to love yourself just as you are now authentically.  This is simple but not easy.   You will need help from others to learn the knowledge necessary to travel the journey to wisdom.

Change requires commitment

Remember – To change your life and what you experience requires a complete commitment to transforming your thoughts and attitude.  The bottom line, especially in the beginning, is to follow your therapist’s suggestions.  Remember to plan your work and work your plan daily and stay accountable to your therapist as if your life depended upon it, as it does.  Obedience is not only important but crucial to your recovery and transformation! You can transform your life by transforming the negative thoughts that you have about your value and worth as a person.
