Often the urges or impulses that we experience are disguised as commands or taken as commands.
They are after all just thoughts with a bit of emphasis.
If we let them go they will pass.
The very interesting thing is that the urges come for a reason and this is something worth looking into. They often come to cover up some uncomfortable feeling. That is their cause and the issue is not to do what they say, it is to avoid that uncomfortable feeling.
An urge is not a command it is notifying us that there is something that we are trying to avoid or that we feel uncomfortable.
We are quite surprised how often we feel uncomfortable.
The remedy here is then to hold out serenely though the urge to see what it is that it is coming to make us avoid.
For example, the urge to constantly snack is covering something up... Maybe it is boredom and maybe that boredom comes from some kind of an unhappiness. Anyhow it is due to something...
One should keep an urge or distraction log. It is so interesting what we find. There are pattens in the nature of the urges as well as patterns to do with times of day and month in which they repeat.
This seems a little silly but it actually shines light on our psychology.
To finish, we all have will power. There is no one that has zero will power. If it looks as though a person has zero will power it is just that their will power is conditioned and we haven't observed them in the right environment yet...
Will power is something that we spend and drain in different environments and becasue of that we end up finding ourselves lacking will. The important thing with will power is not really generating more of it, it is about saving it.
