AP 260: Your Habits are Neutral. Seriously. || Growth Spurt

<p>I mentioned in this month's introduction episode, that your habits are neutral. It's worth a short solo episode explaining what that really means and how it can help you grow. You should feel some relief, you don't need to dramatically, or painfully, change your habits. You can, however, shift your views, to align with your values, and therefore shape your habits.</p> <p>Remove that familiar all-or-nothing way of viewing your habits, because when we moralize our habits we moralize ourselves. <strong>You are not inherently good or bad because of a helpful or unhelpful habit that you have.</strong> I want to encourage a more positive, and productive, way of viewing your habits.</p> <p>Of course I'm sharing exactly what this looks like in my life with things like eating habits and social media usage. As you listen you may identify your own views on habits you have, so I'm telling you the exact rephrasing I use to separate my worth from my actions. There are a few other simple tips I have, but ultimately hope that by listening you can achieve more self-compassion.</p> <h5 class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable" role= "textbox" contenteditable="true" aria-multiline="true" aria-label= "Write heading…">About a few other things...</h5> <p>As an introverted mother myself, I took Erica Layne's 7 Day "Talked Out, Touched Out" Challenge.
