It’s late evening.
You’re sitting at the kitchen table.
In front of you lies a chocolate bar.
Still unopened, but shining with temptation.

You reach for it, almost without thinking.
Then you pause.
You remember what you’ve learned recently.

You don’t need to fight it.
You don’t need to run away from it either.
Instead—you notice the craving.

There is a tightness in your chest.
A buzzing in your mouth.
Your hand feels restless.

You stay with it for a moment.
Then you widen your attention.
You notice the space around your body.
The quietness in the room.
The chair pressing gently under you.

The craving feels different now.
Not gone—but softer.
Like a small wave dissolving in the sea.

You smile.
The chocolate is still there, but the urgency is gone.
You can choose.
And that freedom—that choice—tastes better than sugar ever could.

Cravings often live in the body like small knots of tension.
When your mind narrows only to the knot, it grows stronger.
But when you let it rest in the wide open space around you,
it softens, fades, dissolves into silence.

Next time the urge strikes, give yourself thirty seconds.
Notice the tightness, notice the space,
hold them both together.
Soon you will feel how the wave of craving loses its force.

It may seem hard at first.
But each time you try, it gets easier.
Each time, you’ll trust yourself more.
You’ll know—you don’t need to be controlled by the craving.
You can sit calmly,
choose freely,
and taste the quiet sweetness of your own strength.

Just stay aware of space
