📔 Journal
Until 1900's it was never at all possible (in human history) to keep a pen and notebook in your pocket to write in. Only possible since 1900's. Even using an ink feather pen was new, before that writing was a modern "profession", not to many people 'scribed' /wrote at all.

Like many others, Ben Franklin in his 20's used a journal worksheet to break free from stuff he read that (like a flue bug) created addictions in his life. He daily tracked his top character flaws. After I watched that documentary (23:00▶). I decided to give that study journal idea a try myself; in my own life I became aware that I had formed very binding addictions, that (like a flue bug) I caught while, (of all things) doing volunteer work at my own expense, while in my 20’s. Now, many years later, it had compounded to form very binding addictions. By practicing that journal idea, broke all my compound addictions! Testimonial

Universities- higher education fields have produced professional journals for many years. link²

☆ Review
Quick review your notebook/ table-sheet (LINK) upto 5 times a day (to keep yourself on track). It is known that taking time out in thought, helps you find your center and refocus on what is import in ones life.

Using a notebook to write in is new since 1900's. Even using a feather with ink was modern. Previously writing was a "profession" (not to many people scribed /wrote at all).
Journaling didn't hardly exist at all! People used meditation, pictures, and objects. Think of reviewing your worksheet (LINK) throughout day as a way to re-focus and review your course correction away from addictions.

𑀫 Time out
Meditation is practiced world wide. It has been around thousands of years. It's encouraged in work places of Apple, Google, Yahoo… Groups that teach meditation include Taoist, Buddhist, Islam, Hindu, and Christian monks, Yoga, Judaism, Christian & Catholic. It's proven in health & psychology orgs.

Muslims often do similar 5 times a day, to remember what is important. India has statues with many arms; one belief is meditation gives you many arms, you can accomplish much more with meditation. Here is how:
Take time out during your day; find a quite place, away from noise to think.
Very important to not focus on what your missing; not what you may have lost, and what's wrong with life. Instead focus only on what you do have & enjoy:
E.g
Ability to walk, talk, see and hear. Electricity, running water, hot water, toilets, shower, glasses, clothes, car / bike, ability to read, computer, language, communication, phone, writing. All of that was not available to any other human generations.
Some are in jail, some homeless, confined, and live in areas of war. During your time out, only think of you have. Afterword's, consider making a journal entry, optionally Consider one thing you might change /do, to be appreciative.
If you try that daily, you'll find your problems & life obstacles will begin moving out of your way. Note: Many leaders, famous ppl and athletes mediate.
Meditation is one way to adjust your mind, reframe what's important.

⍾ Cardi
Nearly all animals exercise: That one reason they're healthy. Suprisingly, exercise was never a virtue, that reminder was not needed, most people worked and sweat. Average human life span was perhaps 30 years of age. Because of that it didn't make into scripture & holy write, there for it is not often mentioned. Now with sit down jobs and living three times as long, much of humanity suffers from lack of daily cardio. (LINK)

If you can get over that inconvenient feeling (at the thought of exercise) and do it anyways (at home and or jog) then once finished, make a journal entry of how you feel before and after. You'll be insanely surprised.

Add this to your workbook list. Commit to 1 week, remember, success is not whether you exercised that day, success is whether you checked of the box (either ✓Yes /*No); simply keeping a daily record, then reviewing it at the end of the week surprisingly brings success. Not whether you succeeded in exercised that day, grade your success on daily documenting & journaling to self on results. If you grade yourself on whether you exercised or not, you're more likely to fail, only grade your success based on whether you reviewed your workbook (checked off item) and did a week review.

Note
Cardio is most neglected of all habits. Has a huge impact on our state of mind and ability to be optimistic under stress. A small % of people exercise to much.
If you grow up very active as kid, then jogging exercise could seem kind of odd.
If you grow up without being very active as kid, then jogging exercise can still seem kind of odd.

♫ Music
Music has a big influence on mood. If you listen to music, be conscious of how you feel afterwards. Perhaps most important make a journal entry of how you felt before and after.
Music motivates though can become distractive. Non-radio music includes: theme songs, instrumental, meditative, mantra, marching bands, as well as things of nature like wind chimes, water chimes, water falls & fountains. A modern wind chime is very inexpensive. If the wind alive, can it play music?

You may find yourself being more selective in music, & change up your play lists. Many people don't listen live radio & internet radio, including Monks, spiritualists, people of religion, and ordinary people. Try not listening to music radio /internet radio 1 week, journal how you feel after.
In whipping my own addictions, I noticed I listened to radio less and less.

ᨒ Nature
Try and spend time outdoors regularly. Try and jog, run, hike outdoors. If you work from home, trying doing some work outside if option exists.

♡ Work
As a small business owner I can choose who to hang out with. If you work in a company and cannot choose who you work with. You can still choose were to spend lunch breaks. You can share you experience with this site challenge (LINK) to others and with your team, anyone at your work that it might help, including your boss.

Working on yourself with others as a team can also give support to each other and make you stronger. As a result of breaking your addictions, you likely will find new opportunities that open to you at work and with relationships.

⸙ Eating healthy
Eating healthy helps your mind and body. Lots of veggies, a good amount of grains, and some fruit.
Instead of Meat, substitutes like walnuts, almonds, beans, soybeans, lentils... are very healthy to your body.
Many store foods contain sugar additives that are addictive. Sugar and hot spice hide actual quality of main ingredient. This video that will change how you think of food: Beautiful Truth | Dr. Max Gerson's

If you're a snacker, snack on things like celery, carrots, lettuce, radishes, berries. Starting a veggie garden is fun and healthy.
If you have struggled with cutting weight. This webpage's journal method (LINK) can help you replace food cravings with a healthy life without spending any money. Commit to it for 7 days. Like cardio,LINK Grade your success not on how well you do; grade your success on whether you filled out your workbook /checked off the item (either ✓Yes happy /*No didn't do well); a perfect score is checking off each item, regardless of how well you did. That keeps away discouragment and drives success.

Remenber don't grade yourself whether you succeeded in eating healthy that day and that week, grade your success on daily checked off your workbook LINK & journaling your experince. Keep an end of week review. Try it you'll be impressed.
Note: If you grade yourself on whether you eat healthy, you're more likely to fail, only grade your success based on whether you reviewed your workbook (checked off item) and journal a week review.

If you end up saving money. Consider doing something special with that money you saved. Else use that money to do something kind for someone. (VID LINK)

Note: Not many people think of this, though for thousands of years people lived forced to move often, and to hunt food. Most work was labor, no wash machines, no dishwashers, no tvs, computers, Cars. Most people walked, ran, and some road hoarse. People worked and sweat most of the day. Now with refrigerators, tuns of conveniences and foods & with addictive sweeteners, in order to stay mentally healthy, our bodies, like animals require daily exercise.
