Decrease the power of your desires by thinking about the time afterward

Decrease the power of your desires by thinking about the time afterward

from Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday

How to Apply This

  1. Take a step back when strong desires rise

  2. Ask yourself: What will happen to me if I get what I want?
    Would it solve your problems?

  3. How will I feel after?
    Will you feel better afterward? Or will that good feeling fade away in a moment and will make you more miserable than you felt before?
