Restriction Only Creates Desire

In a perfect world there would be no restrictions on anyone. We would all be free to eat and do as we wish. In a perfect world there would be no restricting yourself to what you can do. I am here to try to illustrate how that perfect world should be your aim.

First of all restriction is something you place on yourself and possibly others try to place on you. You must be aware that restriction is not natural and is created by your thought process. Where we slip up is that we try to stop ourselves from doing something in a bid to gain something else. Is it any wonder your mind finds the process of restriction challenging and confusing.

What you must realise is when you restrict you glorify and give the item or practice you are restricting power over you. It consumes you and dominates your mind as you keep fighting with yourself to refrain. You have given it power over you. The mental confusion arises because your dominant thought is the item or practice that you want to restrict yet you keep telling yourself you can't have it#!#

This illustrates to me why all of the unhealthy foods and practices are seen to be fun, exciting and desirable. Because we put these items into the restricted area and glorify them giving them power over you. Chocolate is a classic example. It is desirable because your told it has lots of calories so you tell yourself you can't eat chocolate or you'll get fat. So immediately you put chocolate on a pedestal and it becomes a prized possession. When you do finally give in, whammo you eat bucket loads of it. Because you are going to make it worth it because you aren't going to be allowed to eat it again!!! It's a no win situation isn't it.

My solution don't restrict. Flip your thinking and direct yourself towards what you would like in your life mapping out everything you want to do to take you there. This way you aren't restricting yourself, you have flipped the coin so to speak and started thinking of the good and value you are receiving from any actions you carry out. A pessimist would say you are still restricting yourself; an optimist would say you are trying to create your dream life. The dream life we should all be aiming for, should be for great Lifesperity.
