92 - Friday Fix: How to Break Free From Unhealthy Patterns

Have you ever thought about how you deal with uncomfortable emotions? Do you start scrolling through your smartphone whenever you feel the slightest bit bored? Do you text an ex who isn’t good for you whenever you feel lonely? We usually don’t think much about these habits we’ve established in life. And we rarely reflect on how little habits affect us so much in the big picture. The way you respond to uncomfortable emotions establishes patterns in your life. You might not even recognize them even though you reach for the same go-to solutions every time. It’s quite possible that some of these solutions actually introduce new problems into your life or make your existing problems worse. This is just one reason we establish unhealthy patterns in our lives. In this Friday Fix, I share the other reasons why we get stuck relying on tempting shortcuts or avoiding the things we need to face. I also share how to break free from unhealthy patterns so we can create the kind of life we actually want to live. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
