MessageSD,
People are motivated by pleasure or pain physically, mentally or emotionally. Do you want to shove toothpaste up your nose and gargle with wasabi? Of course not, no pleasure in it so you Don't do it. It seems people who are overweight know Not to eat more xxxx but they DO anyway. Why, as reflected in Steven's post, they deep down want to, usually because it makes them FEEL GOOD on some level which may be semi-concious. Because somewhere in their past they had thoughts and feelings that caused negative emotions to solidify a bad behavior. I am unhappy about xxxx so I CAN eat yyyy to mask xxxx. You can substitute the word eat for any other addiction.
On a personal level, you know you shouldn't be a coffeeholic and a pornaholic but you do anyway, why? Take a trip into your personal history and find the emotional/mental constructs that intiated your behaviors.
I would think from a Taoist point, you should work on Fusion of the Five Elements to delve deeper and clean out negative emotions. Thereby releasing and transforming the energy behind the negative behavior so it has no more intent/energy behind it to continue. Mantak Chia also has a dvd about cleaning out negative thoughts/emotions that is not a Fusion dvd. There is also a western meditation that someone teaches which deals with issues like this. You can find out more at www.fhu.com . As a starting point go to download the free mp3 'Be Still and Know'. Also listen to his radio show on the internet or over the radio.
Taoists also use a term 'uncarved block', simple and accurate.
I hope you and/or someone finds the post useful.
Good luck and I wish you well if you want to be well.
Derek
