TO RELEASE SELF JUDGEMENT CHANGE YOUR ADDICTIONS TO PREFERENCES
We all have addictions, and yet most of us don’t actually realize this.
Addictions are not only the strong physical ones of drugs or alcohol, but they are also the more subliminal mental ones that we have weave into our mindset and without realizing it they adversely affect us both mentally and emotionally.
Addictions are programs that we have laced into our identity. We have given our egos tasks to do and given it parameters by which to guide us unfortunately, these become rigid, and we create an internal judge that is making sure we are adhere to them.
We can become addicted to being financially stable, to being competent, to meeting our objectives for the day, to being productive. All of these are not bad in themselves, except when they become rigid, then we become addicted to that version of ourselves, and if we meet Our expectations, we reward ourselves, but if we don’t, we feel stressed and anxious.
The problem with this is that it is an internal dynamic and doesn’t always align with the exterior, we fear a negative outcome if we do not align with these mental addictions, and this causes us stress and actually attracts the situations that we are trying so hard to avoid.
The answer is to consciously and compassionately do the work of self observation. Notice and become aware of your mental addictions and And then lovingly change them to preferences.
When we have a preference, it is a much more loving way of navigating our life. We might prefer something and therefore inviting it in and yet we are also open to something else happening or changing, and we let go of our insistence, welcoming in whatever might present itself with gratitude and trust.
What mental addictions can you choose to make preferences today ?
