How do you cope when you crave something, but you haven't got any?

Question

and it's too late to go out and get some?

Answer 1

i think you should study the way of buddha. that is what the buddha knew before any other, even jesus an mohammend are anything the hindus faith suggest. most certain long before muslim hatred. buddha began explaining the folley of cravings nad the relationship with cravings. start with that kernal of truth.

Answer 2

I have run into this problem a number of times and you just deal with it. Like wanting a softserve twist ice cream cone with rainbow jimmies after the shops hours...drove me nuts, but since then i try to keep some kind of ice cream in the freezer at all times. Even though it is not softserve like i crave it ties me over until i can get it. If you don't have a subsitute the best thing to do is find something you do have and focus on it until you want that instead. It may sound stupid, but it does work. I have had mad cravings for salad with grape tomatoes and blue cheese dressing several times. I was able to stop that craving until the next day by focusing on spaghetti with butter and shredded cheese. Sounds like total opposites, but it worked. Then i craved that mixture for a few days *laughs*. Over all though my cravings have not been too bad. Good luck, i hope this helps.

Answer 3

It depends on how I really feel about the object. If I want to buy something that's expensive, I think about how I can find it for free or for less. Most of the time, I use the fox and the grapes trick: I tell myself that I don't want it. If it's sweets, I go to my perfumes and rub some on my skin. The best way is always not to desire, but when it's a really strong feeling, I pray. Prayer has given me the strongest an most amazing results of all.

Answer 4

I congratulate you for doing something it is quite not ordinary, like quitting smoking. I gave up smoking better than 30 years in the past and this pint i won't be able to bear in thoughts for a fashion long I had the yearning. What i will inform you that i became quite happy with myself and each time I observed somebody smoking I felt the kind of delight of understanding that i became waiting to do something that the different guy or woman could not. i think of that feeling of being waiting to do something that became not ordinary to do became my important motivation . by skill of ways, after a at a similar time as even the scent of tobacco will difficulty you lots which you won 't be vulnerable to purpose it lower back

I eat something that smells like it or tastes like it. One time I had a BAD craving for peanut butter cookies, so I ate some peanut butter on an english muffin.
