Top 7 addictions you MUST QUIT to become your greatest self

  Research shows that willpower is actually more important than IQ, which is why the point is not to become “smarter,” but to become more self-disciplined. Will power is the foundation of all human achievements. Everyone has some willpower, but we always feel that we need more, often because we tend to use up what we have. That’s called willpower depletion. The good news is that you can actually train your willpower like a muscle. A famous Italian author once wrote, “I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.” Mental and physical health are hinged on how a person feels at any given moment. We must remain in control of how we feel at all times, but how? The answer: balance.

ADDICTED TO SWEETS? Sugar can be just as addicting as alcohol, nicotine or opiates – but there are alternatives to help people cut back or quit

Eating sugar releases huge surges of the neurotransmitter dopamine (along with opioids) in our bodies as part of the “ reward circuit ” that scientists have associated with addictive behavior. This is not so different from what happens when our brain reacts to hard core drugs like heroin or cocaine, or even sex, our mesolimbic (CNS) dopamine system gets activated. The problem is that sweets are just a short-term boost, and then comes the dreaded crash. Motivation disappears. Headaches can become intolerable. Inability to concentrate is common.
