COURSE

Happy & Free: Breaking Up With Habits And Addiction

With Lindsey Elliott

Are you feeling trapped by persistent habits or an addiction, despite your efforts to break free? Have traditional approaches left you feeling disillusioned? It's time for a fresh perspective. You may have been told that you simply need to be more disciplined or have more willpower in order to change your unwanted habits or addiction, but what if this isn’t true? In this course we are going to explore a different perspective on understanding and overcoming habits and addictions. This is a powerful understanding of how we work as humans, one that makes habit change, and breaking addictions a lot less effortful and a lot less stressful. I have been where you are, and have now been able to leave behind an addiction, and many habits, through this understanding. In this course we will be covering: • The role of the brain in establishing an addiction or habit/s • How your habit or addiction has never actually helped you • The innocence of addiction and getting caught up in the cycle • A simple way out and dealing with urges I am so glad that you found your way to this course and I’m excited for what we are about to explore together.

Lesson 1

The Role Of The Brain In Forming Habits

In this lesson we’ll explore how habits and addictions are an innocent way the brain tries to help us. We’ll look at a simple version of how the habit or addiction cycle gets created, and then maintained. Understanding how this is working, and how we can get stuck in it, is one of the keys to breaking free.

Lesson 2

Why Your Habit or Addiction Has Never Helped You

Either consciously or unconsciously we only ever engage in a habit or addiction because we believe it supports us in some way. Even if that way is simply distracting or avoiding. In this lesson we will delve into the thought-feeling-behaviour experience to understand it from a fresh perspective. One that helps us to break free naturally and easily.

Lesson 3

Urges Are Our Wakeup Call

In this lesson we cover how an urge is a wakeup call to where our mind is at. Rather than urges being something to fear, surf or act on, we can start to view them from a fresh perspective. One that allows us more space and freedom to simply feel them.

Lesson 4

Seeing The Innocence Of Your Habit Or Addiction

In this session we dive into the guilt and shame that can show up when we feel unable to leave a habit or addiction behind. This then becomes something that fuels the addiction cycle. We’ll explore the innocence behind this so that you can be released from this and feel free.

I certainly learned a lot about addictions even tho I was not a drinker, I’m addicted to anti anxiety medication and on line shopping. I’m also a therapist I’ll definitely share this with my clients, very informative. Hope it works for me too.

This is a whole different way of thinking, but at the same time the way I have been thinking all along. I just couldn't make sense of it all. This is such a better path forward instead of you drink because you're an alcoholic and you will always be an addict and if you don't keep working the program, you will fail this type of thinking will be so much more successful I can already tell so thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, wisdom and experience with us.
