Addiction is Seductive

Addiction is Seductive

Addiction is a battle that many lose to over and over again. The good news is….even though you may lose the battles, you can win the war.

One big challenge with addictive behaviors is that people mainly recognize only drugs and alcohol as the culprits. Today sex addiction is becoming more of an issue in relationships.

An article published on foxnews.com highlights the sex addiction of a former NFL football player Mike Caussin. His sex addiction has caused marital issues between him and wife Jana Kramer. Within the article the couple mention a few pointers to shed light about how to overcome sex addiction within a marriage.

This is what happens when you don’t face your addiction.

#1 Shame On You!

Most people don’t seek help for addictions because it will cause shame and embarrassment. The true shame of addiction occurs when you don’t admit you have an issue and when you don’t seek the treatment you need.

#2 A Rocky Family.

Active and continuous addictive behaviors when left untreated will cause family instability. Addiction doesn’t just affect the prime participant, it has adverse emotional and physical effects on all family members.

#3 You lose.

Addictive behaviors cause you to become ineffective in significant areas of your life. When you fail to properly address the issues of addiction your lifestyle goes down. You lose financial, material, relationships, careers, family and most importantly you lose YOURSELF.

Everybody knows somebody. Battles with addiction should not be faced alone.

Ready, Set, Go Be a Go- Getter!

Ready, Set, Go Be a Go- Getter!

            Do you have what it takes to win? Or do you give up with a loss? The fine line between being a winner and being a loser is the effort and mindset you have behind every task and goal you pursue.

            Getting what you desire and deserve requires a Go- Getter Mind Set. A go- getter mindset means you go to any measure and utilize any means possible to get it. It doesn’t mean that mistakes don’t happen, or you won’t get tired. It means if you don’t know what to do to get what you want, you figure out how.

            Go- Getter Mind Set Tip #1:

With everything you do, do it with persistence. Never give up on going for what you want. Sometimes setbacks are inevitable but a go- getter jumps over the hurdle and continues to the finish line. Getting up from a knock out takes boldness. To keep going requires strength. Both boldness and strength are inherently within you. Bring them out to the forefront of your challenge and use them.

    

            Go- Getter Mind Set Tip #2:

Before you go after you desire, it is a wise idea to set some goals. Don’t develop just any goals. Make them S.M.A.R.T. goals. What does it take to make your goals SMART? Be SPECIFIC about exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Make goals MEASURABLE so that you can monitor progress or lack of progress. (Don’t forget to make appropriate adjustments to your goals based on your self- assessment). Next you need lights, cameras and take ACTION STEPS to reach your goals. And be REAL when creating the steps to being a go- getter. Finally, set a TIME LIMIT to making the progress required to success. Goals can be achieved baby step by baby step but still set limits to monitor your commitment and progress.

            The building point of a go- getter mindset is that winners win and losers lose. Go- getters do not sit back and accept failure. No matter what, keep pushing through any and all challenges that block your way to success. Success is the only option.
