TOSOL #65 – The Nasty Habit of Good Addictions

by

Originally entitled “Habits vs. Addictions,” our “Addictive” Motivational co-hosts wanted to contrast the two.  Somewhere in there, as they always want to do, Mordant & McFall found different ways of looking at these lifelong friends & foes.  They further offer their personal experiences to help us decide if the addictions and/or habits we each have are positive or negative…and how to change things if we so choose

Famed psychologist Carl Jung said: “Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.”

Aristotle said:  “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

TOSOL #49 – The Consistency Conundrum

by


A TOSOL listener asks, “How do you turn knowledge into consistent positive action?  I can quote positive affirmations till I’m turn blue, but in five minutes I find myself with negative destructive thought processes derailing my positive energy.”  How do you keep moving forward with your dreams when things, people, or even you move to derail your best laid plans?  How do you fix your mindset to accomplish any goal you set?  “We are a product of our moment to moment choices.”  It is up to us to create the kind of life we want to live.

In this episode Mordant, McFall, and caller Nolan explore habits.  The conversation includes making the choice to finally move past those habits that are really bad for us and steps to forming newer healthier ones that we want to be part of us for the rest of our lives.  As an added ingredient to Stir the Quantum Soup, Mordant explains affirmations.  What they are, how they work, and how to get them to work in your life.  To round out the hour, Da Den Man calls in to offer words of wisdom concerning the topics at hand.

 “We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”  ~Aristotle~
