Day 276

#AcknowledgeTemptation
 
Whether it’s a hot fudge sundae calling your name or the urge to tell someone off, temptation is tough. The old advice to resist temptation often backfires—resistance can actually strengthen the urge. Instead, acknowledge the temptation.
 
When you feel tempted, treat it as a prompt to pause. That urge you feel is a signal—not to act, but to think. When you pause, you give yourself the power to choose wisely. And you’ll be glad you did when you wake up feeling proud, not regretful the next morning.
 
Next time temptation strikes, pause. Your future self will thank you.
