One of the Greatest Parts of Quitting Weed That will Propel you to Success (alien.top)

When I was quitting weed I relapsed a lot.

It took me 3-4 months of consistent trying and failing until I finally got it gone.

I would constantly run back over and over again falling into the same daily habits.

It was all because I was doing this thing wrong and didn’t learn from my mistakes in the beginning.

As soon as I made this change and adopted this my life changed.

And to say I still use this to this day in the pursuit of my success.

I still continue to optimize it to work for me not against me.

That one thing is,

YOUR MINDSET.

I believe your mindset is a majority of the battle in any area of life.

After all,

Your thoughts become your actions, and your actions shape who you are.

Developing the right mindset about weed that it was harming me and that it was stopping my goals made it much easier to give up.

When I had a big reason for quitting I still failed.

It was only when I combined it with my mindset that I succeeded.

I started to remind myself over and over again that it was ruining me and every puff I took brought me one step farther from that reason.

All this goes to say that no matter what area of life you are going into, If you don’t have the right mindset it will make it very hard to achieve what you wish to achieve.

Adopt the right Mindset for every area of life and watch how much harder you work.

But once again, Until Next time.

If you are someone who is quitting weed, has quit weed, or debating quitting weed comment below and let's have a chat.

Quit Weed. Dream Big. Get Rich.

OP is less than 20 years old. I'm 25, and I grew up around other males who have overcome cannabis habits and other vices. They, in their yet-to-fully-mature manner, deliver these sermons and sincerely believe they are helping others. OP is likewise typing this from a place of goodwill.

Interesting how, no matter the particular vice, they communicate their little stories in a manner eerily reminiscent of this post. In a few years' time, OP will likely look back and see this "hear ye" proclamation (which he deems appropriate to repost time and time again) in quite a different light.

I like weed because I can smoke it and do what I need to. Mindset I guess

I grew marijuana and was an habitual user (all day every day) for apx 7 yrs. I liked getting high but found that I was always in a foggy haze from the grass growing around my brain. I felt disconnected from reality and though my relationships did not suffer, I knew I was not 100% present to my wife, son and business.

In September I decided to stop using every day and to only partake socially with friends once in a while. It hasn't been easy. It's totally a mind game. Thankfully weed isnt addictive, but coming off of it after using so long caused me some anxiety, mostly changes to sleep and eating. After a few nights of vivid dreams (i never dreamt on weed) and loss of appetite, I was able to regulate and start feeling normal.

I started a business almost 6 years ago and it became successful pretty quickly even though I was stoned 24/7. Since I stopped using weed every day, I feel like I am more connected with my business, with my wife and my son and I think they notice an improvement as well. I do feel more present and less disconnected.

This winter I am going to start implementing my marketing plan and focus on growing my business. My wife and I date more, talk more and make love more than when I was stoned all the time. My relationship with my son is better too.

It's not easy to change your behavior after being in a pattern for so long, but it is a mind game. I talk to a therapist once a week and that has helped!

Good luck with your journey!

Then explain to me why so many CEOs are blowing toot on their lunch breaks and raking in tens of millions of dollars a year. It’s an open secret that everyone on Wall Street is zooted out of their gourds most of every day. Weed isn’t a problem in and of itself unless you’re bought into the “grindset” culture.
