If you keep returning to a habit you want to change, it does not mean you lack willpower or discipline. Very often, habits are learned patterns linked to stress, relief, and what feels familiar to the nervous system. In this video, you’ll learn why habits can feel automatic, what is happening underneath the urge, and how to create a small pause that opens the door to change. You’ll also be guided toward a more compassionate understanding of yourself and your patterns. This is a supportive starting point for habits such as emotional eating, drinking, procrastination, or other behaviours that no longer feel aligned. I’ll also introduce you to my Break Free From Habits And Addictions playlist with guided practices to help shift the pattern underneath the urge.
