Where do habits come from?
Lets first define habits, what are habits, and how do we acquire habits?
A habit is, a recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition. Habits: Robert Puller once said, “Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as are bad habits.” Memory and habits are the main controller of all that we do. Habits control our happiness and unhappiness. Addictions are based on this as well as attitudes and how well we get along with other people. Habits control our entire happiness.
According to one survey that the UWC has published, habits cannot be broken unless it is intertwined with a habit destroying article and or action seven times. For example if we have a habit of doing something that is not practical to ourselves or disliked by other people. Using the old statement of practice makes perfect we must put this into our mind forcefully! Such as an influential speaker given illustrations seven times. The key is that the illustrations must be by different origins, and have equal power upon our mind in order to be effective. Finally, our minds will say “Okay, Okay! I give up! I will do as you suggest.”
Addictions are desires or impulses that come upon us in times of temptation suddenly and powerfully. We must have some way to resist the temptation to give into addictive influences. The best way to do this is to replace the bad thoughts with good thoughts, filling our minds with light and truth so that darkness cannot exist.
One way to do this is to read and remember spiritual stories which remind us of all that is good and true in this life. These type of stories can be found here on our site, and are well worth the time and effort it takes to read them. However, we don't always have the time to read through a full story when tempting thoughts enter our minds. How then are we to invite the spirit of these stories into our minds without reading them?
The way to do this is to use music, which brings to mind memories and thoughts much quicker than reading does. By setting stories which invite the spirit to music, which plays while you listen to the words, your mind will associate that tune with the story. Then, when the music is played by itself at a later time, the words and spirit of the story are brought to our remembrance. As the spirit of these stories lighten our minds, the temptation to give into addictive behaviors is taken out of our minds.
Here on our site we have collected several such stories and put them to musical tones which will trigger memories. We use the same tunes for similar types of addictions. This way there are specific musical tunes for specific addictive impulses, making the programs much more effective in targeting and combating a particular addiction. Our goal is to help overcome any addictions, whatever they might be.
Some of the additive influences that our programs are designed to overcome include:
- Pornography
- Alcoholism
- Drug Addictions
- and any other addictions....
As you listen to these stories, pay special attention to the promises or covenants which are made, and which bring blessings when obeyed. These are the types of promises which have made or which we must make to ourselves and with God, which we must remember when faced with temptations. These promises can help us to overcome these temptations.
These music programs will be available on our site to be downloaded or played from computers, MP3 players and CD players so that they will be available to you at any time, and in any place where you might have addictive impulses.
Be sure to check back to our website periodically, as we will be updating and adding to our content regularly.
If you have any inspirational or spiritual stories which have helped you, your family or your friends to overcome addictive influences, please share them with us so that the lives of others can be blessed also. Please contact us at: fuindex@gmail.com.
Thank you.
