So instead, say yes, but don't do it
So instead, say yes, but don't do it.
What Scott says
Say yes to whatever occurs. If you're trying to say quit an addiction, like smoking cigarettes or watching too much TV or something like that, when you have the urge to do the addiction, say yes to it. So if I were going to have the urge to say have a cigarette, I would say yes, I want to have a cigarette. A lot of people, what they do is they fight the urge and they say no.
So it'd be like, oh, I want to have a cigarette, and they go, no, that's bad. And then they go, yes, I want to, no, and they get into this internal conflict. And that internal conflict creates a ball of pain. And when that ball of pain gets big enough, you will then have another urge to have a cigarette even stronger, and then you will go use and have that cigarette.
So instead, say yes, but don't do it. Hi, I'm Scott, a spiritual teacher guiding people through spiritual awakening by embracing our humanness.
