Today I have come up with a fresh new topic of ‘ Addiction’ . There are different types of addiction that knowingly or unknowingly are followed by us due to several causes… Can you identify what are you addicted to?

I will discuss today about addictions .

Many of us say that they do not have any addiction. For them I would like to specify few common addictions these days which might help ypou to decide if you have any of them.

Over eating, Gossiping, Compulsive lying, over sleeping, Watching continuously television, playing politics at home and work, Continuously working, internet gaming…and so on..

Some people think that only smoking, drinking and drugs are the addictions that we can have. But that is not true. Could you ever think of these listed addictions that you might also have??

We are an addicted generation who are very much addicted to “speed”. 

We are also addicted to ‘thrill’, and we are also addicted to ‘ pleasure’. 

We are such a generation that cannot live with simple way of living. We require some sort of excitement in every point of life. We are in need of continuous tiltillation and excitement. We have forgotten to be happy with the simple way of living. 

What is an addiction?

It is something which is too strong to be resisted by the brain. An addiction is only a symptom of the inner war going on in your mind. 

Fighting an addiction is like fighting with a tiger in the jungle. In the jungle the tiger is too wild to be fought with and so is addiction . Addiction denotes that that you are going through a deep unhappiness going on in your life. Its a way of escaping that unhappiness in your life. 

Every addicted person is somehow an wounded human being even if they don't agree. 

Think of a time when internet surfing, playing online games were just a fun thing to do . But now it has become an addiction. when did it become an addiction? Can you think of the time?

Let me answer this question. Internet became an addiction for you when life became a struggle for you. When you started facing career disputes and your struggle of existence tried to find an escape.

When you got dejected in life, life became boring and you stopped finding solutions…it is then that you got into the addiction.

Solution for addiction

Let me tell you that every one of you can get rid of addiction. Its that simple. The only thing you have to do is ‘to make peace with life’. 

You have to feel comfortable with your life without the unnecessary excitements . You have to heal your mind and soul by not comparing yourself with others . You have to engage yourself in some creative activities or healthy activities which will never cause a feeling of boredom in you. You should not always think of money . But you also have to relax and take timely rest and breaks between the various works you do. 

If you feel that you are not that interesting as a person or life is boring for you, then think that life is boring and the same for all. Its what you make out of your life. The way you project your life, thats how it will be. Never feel low about your existence. 

And just let it be how it is. Just try to heal in your mind. Just let it go.. Relax.. meditate and have that constant believe that ‘I am not addicted’ . 

And appreciate the simplicities in your life. …..
