Most of us experience energy suckers within that we avoid harmonizing for one reason or another even though they may cause things to go wrong. Yet they serve as wakeup calls to eliminate from our character and win back Harmony.
ONe Inner energy sucker is annoying, harmful habits with overpowering urges, cravings, and desires
Understanding any destructive habit is vital because Ignorance, Fear and Apathy are pushy traits that originate in the human mind and holds us in limbo. But our Soul seeks expression in our life and we are here to develop ourselves and eliminate the walls that imprison that which we are. And destructive habits are walls and energy suckers.
Indulging mindlessly
The longer we delay in eliminating destructive conditions the more trouble is drawn to us because of the Law of Attraction. But wishing it away is useless. And denial keeps us in the same condition or worsens it.
So we may try using will power, but human will is limited, and it’s easily observable. We may start the day saying we aren’t going to do a certain thing, but our programming takes over and we indulge in some disadvantageous habit.
And, what’s so amazing is we can indulge without even being aware of what we had promised ourselves until much later! We had become so programmed subconsciously that old brain patterns engage and we mindlessly indulge.
It could be something like easily loosing our tempter, road rage, procrastinating, binge eating, constantly checking the mobile phone, watching porn and staying up late. We just do it automatically, then perhaps regret it later.
Lizard Brain
Research has shown that habitual urges are established programs and patterns in the most primitive part of the brain. Some call it the lizard brain. The subconscious has been programmed and grown unnoticed! Every time you give into an urge it only reenforces the brain pattern that makes it stronger.
Eventually it is gone
The habit has no power over you unless you choose it. Observe the temptation as just that ….. only a temporary, mental urge. And remember that thoughts, feelings, urges are not you!
You can choose to dismiss an urge and accompanying thoughts and feelings, by negating them. And without acting on an urge repeatedly, it eventually fades until no more.
We can pause, take some deep breathes to relax physically and mentally. Remember to contact Universal Life Energy and we begin to change the way we think and behave because we are beginning to change brain patterned programming too. We are choosing the unlimited positive!
This is the most beneficial act we can choose ….. to consciously unite with Universal Life Energy to admit the healing power of Love, the highest aspect.
When any dark urge surfaces remember that it’s an opportunity to eliminate it and harmonize. Contact the Power and let It emphasize the positive and harmonize the negative.
Helpful
Again…. remember that every destructive urge is an opportunity in the present moment to harmonize ourselves and reach for Love.
I’ve found it very helpful to write down the harmful habit and accompanying thoughts and feelings, so I can become more aware, alert and conscious of the freedom of choice when urge voices surface again. And the voices will surface again!
I also write any positive actions/intents in a journal daily to set intents and be conscious of them, especially when urges come to the surface. It’s one day at a time and building on it. There is the opportunity to choose a positive, constructive response rather than obey the negative, destructive urge.
Empowered!
Conscious realization of freedom of choice is empowerment! It’s wisdom, from within. And the more we choose uplifting responses and negate destructive urges, the sooner those urges leaves us.
Urges, cravings, desires, and all thoughts and feelings are fleeting; they’re temporary. So we can pause and let them pass without acting on them, living in the moment. And freely choose uplifting thoughts like gratitude, appreciation, compassion and joy.
For more insights I’ve found resources very helpful and hope you do too: Lesson 23 of The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being by Eugene Fersen and The Little Book of Big Change, The No-willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit by Amy Johnson, PhD.
There are also groups that serve to help overcome destructive addictions one day at a time with Twelve Step Programs like Alcoholics Anonymous.
Kindly look for the next entry on energy suckers to be conscious of and utilize for your happiness.

“Make every disagreeable experience the vehicle to teach you something of value in developing your own character, the indicator to point out an existing flaw, and exult in the advantage you have gained instead of grieving over the passing pang you have suffered.”
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 348.
