Desires and wants change all the time for you already. Try this: The next time you desire something, focus on that desire. Stop talking or doing anything else that might distract you from this focus. The desire will rise and fall away as you focus on it. Your mind will move on to other things. You may come back to the same desire in an hour or the next day, but my point is that you can see this desire leave you as you focus on it. You can’t get rid of desire permanently, but you can recognize that you are not the one in control of your desires. They rise and fall on their own. This is liberating because, with practice, you can lose attachment to these desires when you feel them. This is one of the goals of certain types of meditation.
