The No-Willpower Approach To Breaking Any Habit

Por Amy Johnson

Comece o Dia 1
O que você irá aprender
Deep, lasting freedom from habits, addiction, anxiety and worry comes from seeing differently first. When we have a shift in consciousness–when we glimpse who we are beyond our psychology in a brand new way–our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors begin to change in ways we couldn’t make happen before.

Lição 1
What Are Habits And Why Do We Have Them?
In this first video, Dr. Amy discusses the fact that all habits are essentially the same. We aren’t looking at how habits show up in the world, but what’s behind them. In this way, substance-related habits (food, alcohol, etc.), behavioral habits (e.g., internet addiction, shopping, gambling, etc.) and even thought and feeling habits (like worry, compulsions, insecurity) are the same. They come to life and operate in the same way, so everything we’ll explore here applies to any and all habits you might have. Amy will also talk about why our brain loves habits, and how habits get started and take root. It’s very good news! Coming to understand the function of habits allows you to see the wisdom in them, and it helps to clear up the misunderstandings that leave us feeling powerless around them.
Lição 2
Clearing Up The Misunderstanding
Humans feel stuff. We experience discomfort. We feel heavy, tight emotions. We feel far from “home” at times. Of course all of that is perfectly normal, but when we misunderstand those feelings–when we think those feelings are meaningful, that they reflect our true selves, or that we need to do something to change our feelings–things can go south quickly. You are not your experience. You are the habit-free, peaceful consciousness within which experience rises and falls. Seeing that begins to leave all experience looking very different.
Lição 3
What's A Feeling, Really?
In this video, we’ll look at what feelings truly are: energy + thought (story). If we didn’t fear and resist feelings, would we even have habits? We come to not fear our experience by understanding it. When we see thought and feeling for what they are, they are far less scary.
Lição 4
The Ironic Way Change Happens
Habits live in your ever-changing psychology. They are not inherently meaningful and they have nothing to do with who you are. They also don’t need you to change them. Psychological experience is always changing. You couldn’t stop it if you tried! Knowing that you are not your experience, fearing it less, and seeing that it’s always changing on its own, allows you to enjoy the change that’s already always taking place.

Yeah, what can l say except quietly give this series of talks 5 stars? It can't be improved upon by me rabbiting on about its virtues. Virtues it will take me a while to digest anyway.

This short course illustrates what happens when wisdom principles are articulated as eloquently and naturally as Dr. Johnson’s gifts. She is inspired and highly insightful in a way that is natural, unconditional and congruent with the many of us who want to choose joy and freedom in our life but may be slavishly stuck to unnecessary habits. I...

Very clear and understandable. Glimpses into habits, human thought and behavior, what is reality. A great entry way for more reading, listening, experiences to find some freedom. A lot of simple, yet traditionally ignored, ideas and concepts about this human life.

Wow, life changing! I don't need to change my experience, it is what it is. Awareness of the thoughts,feelings and emotions as not being personal and allowing them to flow through me, without the storytelling and additional suffering. It will take me repeating this course a fair few times to embed it. Gratitude 🙏
