Gambling in moderation can be OK.
The trouble starts when moderation moves to excess.
When you get up and the first thing you think about is placing a bet. Or when anything and everything in your life seems to turn itself into an opportunity to gamble.
So how can you tell if you’re addicted to gambling?

If you have to take one or more pills on a regular basis, you’ll know that it seems nigh on impossible to remember to take your pills on a reliable schedule.
Even just one or two can be awkward to remember. But once the number increases, life gets more complicated than it should do.
Pills that you take first thing in the morning or last thing at night are usually fairly easy to remember – putting them on your bedside table near your watch or your glasses or contacts works fairly well. Except on those days where your mind starts racing as it tries to remember whether or not you’ve swallowed today’s tablet.

Different diets seem to work better for different people. If you’ve ever gone on a diet because your friend lost pounds almost overnight but your weight has obstinately stayed the same, you’ll know what I mean.
Low carb diets are no different.
Some people get on well with them – gnawing away at all the meat and tucking into those fried breakfasts they’ve missed while trying out a low fat diet.

If your mind is always turning to negative thoughts then the chances are that you’re indulging in too much negative thinking.

So, what can you do to stop your negative thinking?

If you’ve watched shows like Most Haunted or some of Derren Brown’s performances such as the one where he used automatic writing to predict the winning UK lottery numbers, chances are you’ll have come across the idea of automatic writing.
The idea behind this is that you go into a trance-like state and let your hand “do it’s own thing”. You then do your best to interpret the resultant scribbles (that a 3 year old wouldn’t exactly be proud of) and see what predictions it contains.
So, since it’s fun, the question is how to do automatic writing?

You may or may not know that you grind your teeth.
Maybe someone close to you lets you know or – depending on how subtle your other half is at breaking this kind of news – your dentist will casually ask you if you often grind your teeth.
However you discover the problem, is there anything you can do to stop grinding your teeth?

When it seems like you’re re-enacting a scene from Monty Python’s movie “The Meaning of Life” and just can’t stop forcing more and more food into yourself.
It’s a frustrating situation – you know you shouldn’t binge eat but forces seemingly greater than you keep you at it…

Blaming other people for our own mistakes is something a lot of us are good at.
You didn’t get a good mark in that exam? It’s the teacher’s fault.
You didn’t get promoted at work? Your boss must have a grudge against you.
And so the cycle of blame goes on…

If you or (possibly even more annoying) someone close to you regularly talks in their sleep, what can you do?
Everyone talks in their sleep occasionally. Usually it’s a side effect of a particularly vivid dream or nightmare.
But when it turns from an occasional problem to something that happens near enough every night, it’s time to do something!
