Resisting temptations are arguably the hardest thing to do by anyone ever. What makes it so hard is that temptations are feelings that tend to lure us into doing things that we like and enjoy or things that are easier and more satisfying for us while we shouldn't be doing them for a higher reason and purpose.
Here are some tips on how to resist temptations.
1) Stay focused on the main goal:- Temptations usually arise more when one shifts attention to other things and gets lured in to them in thought. The lid untightens and other agents like temptations are free to slide through.
2) Don't entertain temptations:- One might say that just thinking about the temptations is alright. But one is in for a surprise. Entertaining temptations is a sure path to failure.
3) Be asfar away as possible from agents that trigger temptations:- Agents that trigger temptations are gravitating. One has to know that the law of gravity also works on thoughts. So in order not to be gravitated by them one should stay away as much as possible from agents.
4) Try to build a wall around things that you don't want to do:- By building a wall, there would be a lot more at stake if one fails. So one is more likely not to fail.
5) Know that the longer you stay away from them the more power you get and sometimes to completely fall off the bridge all it takes is one:- If what one is trying to resist is something very serious, one must know that the longer one stays away from them the more power one would get. Also to completely fall off the wagon all it may take is one.
6) Pray:- Of course this might sound silly. But if one has a higher power it might help to pray. One should not underestimate the power of prayer.
7) Seek proper help from proper people:- Sometimes letting people know what one is in might give one clues on how to overcome them when unexpected. The ideas of many is better than one.
