Give up caffeine!
Filed Under Beliefs, Health, Motivation, Self-Discipline
Like I mentioned before, I was addicted to tea and coffee. Since I had not written for a little while I am filling you in on what I was up to during that time. I was experimenting on how to instill new beliefs. I had learned that there were many ways of doing this. Although every single one required some discipline.
The hardest thing for me was giving up tea/coffee. But this time I wanted to try to cope with this without using any discipline. I wanted to change my beliefs about tea, coffee or just caffeine. Problem was that I saw no need for a change. I read several articles on caffeine and found conflicting views. Some said it was a drug and we should avoid it while others seem to see no reason for giving up caffeine as it had many benefits as long as it was in moderation.
I have never been about moderation. Either I do it or I don’t. And I did not want to give it up tea slowly. For example, instead of drinking 6-7 cups a day, lower it to 4-5 and then 2-3 and so on.
So, I just started intending loudly, when I was by myself of course :-). A lot of people intend using phrases such as “I intend to…” Just remember to use positive phrases only. But I have found I connect more if I say “I want to…” As long as I say it with conviction and not as a dying wish.
So, I started repeating loudly “I want to drink herbal teas only!”, “I want to enjoy the flavours of herbal teas only!” and so on.
I did that on one evening and I got so motivated from that point on that I did not have to intend again. Now and then I would repeat my intention quietly to myself but nothing compared to what I did initially. I suppose I intended with a great force and energy.

That’s really cool actually. Saying things aloud makes it more ingrained in the mind.
Especially if you say it with conviction. Or keep saying it until you feel the conviction
