Good words🙏 I would like to strive for such a state✨️
With the desire to give up something, I say that what destroys me is harmful. I actually feel positive about asceticism. But I do not agree that this is a prison and that I break myself. I prefer the expression that I build myself, create a favorable life. prison for me is to be on the basis of my meaningless desires, which are aimed at destroying my personality.
Yes, of course. it is always some kind of internal dialogue, an explanation to yourself that everything is not so bad. communication with friends. well, or force yourself to do something, study or cleaning or something else. because in a negative mood you do not want to do anything at all. If you are carried away with something, you can get out of a bad state.
Perhaps you can always find any addictions if you look deeply. I understand freedom in spiritual terms not in what to look for, but in order to minimize your desires, or even get rid of them all. Learn to be content with what is already there and does not depend on the opinion of other people.
I'm supporting you in a new direction. Learning new things is a good thing.
There is certainly a mood addiction. When I am in a negative, nothing pleases me, neither good weather nor loved ones. When I am in a good mood, I can smile even for things I don't like.
Many believe that a lot of money can help in this matter. partly I agree with this, but there are questions of a different kind, where to store, how not to lose. If you look at this from the spiritual side, then only spiritual work on yourself, on your thoughts, can lead to freedom.
