Who doesn't love cooking with Pooh 🙏😂

Everything is a choice and we can decide by Briana Theroux, Part 3: Most believe in the magical thing called willpower or triggers. Think of it this way — you can say yes, so why can’t you say no? Saying no is a fucking choice, just as saying yes is. Focusing all your effort on resisting these nonexistent forces does nothing to change a habit. You will victimize yourself and the next time you feel “weak” you crack. Really this is entirely because you failed to address the root cause of seeing more pleasure in eating whatever the food is, than choosing the option that brings you closer to your ultimate goals. You focused all your energy on fighting a non existent force, when you should have been focusing on reframing your beliefs. You actively choose your behaviors every step of the way. You are not on autopilot — although I can relate to feeling as if it is. You need to chill for a second and become more mindful. Check yourself and tell yourself you do have the choice. You aren’t subject to magic. Quit telling everyone that you have no choice. You are not helpless nor controlled by some outside force. Our words become our beliefs. Telling people you have no willpower or need to avoid triggers perpetuates the belief in magic Photograph from, the motion picture "The Women", 1939 @liftheavybreatheeasy #thewomen #choices #decisions #action #power #accountable #triggers #values #integrity #beliefs #habits

😂 Another funny children's book.

Everything is a choice and we can decide by Briana Theroux, Part 2: Habits are easy to build, and easy to break. All you have to do is make the choice in what behavior to follow through with. If you want to change a behavior, it is quite literally easy to make the decision in the moment to not follow through. You have free will my babes. Most people don’t realize they have this choice. I mean most humans agree we have free will, yet they also feel overtaken by “triggers” or “temptations”. But get this; nothing can control your hands and make you engage in a behavior. When people spout off trigger nonsense, they are seeing the desire and the follow through with eating the cake as a weakness, or the inability to choose your behavior.

“Stand up to hypocrisy. If you don’t, the hypocrites will teach. Stand up to ignorance, because if you don’t, the ignorant will run free to spread ignorance like a disease. Stand up for truth. If you don’t, then there is no truth to your existence. If you don’t stand up for all that is right, then understand that you are part of the reason why there is so much wrong in the world.” Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem Photograph of, Annette Kellerman #annettekellerman #suzykassem #truth #ignorance #hypocrisy
