3. Do Nothing.

We've been programmed to grab pleasure the moment we feel bored. Or to constantly work, even if it's meaningless tasks. But when is the last time you did nothing?

When I say doing nothing, I'm not talking about stinking in your bed.

I'm talking about purposefully doing nothing. Just sit. Most people develop their addictions because they can't deal with boredom.

So when you reprogram yourself to be okay while doing nothing, you are less likely to give in to addictions.

Another thing you can do while doing nothing is discover what your purpose is in life.

I don't want to get too deep into it right now, because that's a different topic than quitting addiction.

But there's power in doing nothing. It helps to decrease anxiety, bring creativity to the surface, and boost productivity.
