Cravings Are Not Dangerous
They feel intense, but they pass. Mindfulness helps you respond—not react—to them.
Mindfulness Practice
- Pause. Breathe. Feel the craving arise.
- Name it: "This is a craving. It is temporary."
- Notice where it lives in your body. Observe without judgment.
- Use grounding: hold something cold, smell something strong, stand barefoot.
Mindful Affirmations
- “I am not my craving.”
- “I have survived this before.”
- “This will pass. I am safe.”
After the Craving
Celebrate that you didn’t give in. Reflect on what helped. Strength builds each time.
