Let’s talk avoidance for a minute.
If you are struggling to find balance, wellness, recovery (however you define it) you know that there is work to be done.
That work is tough, anxiety provoking, painful and at times can make us feel worse.
I want you to trust me when I tell you that everyday that goes by that you are AVOIDING by engaging in harmful behaviours you are making that part of your brain STRONGER.
Wellness means re-wiring your brain to have new thinking patterns, new reactions to stress and new habits to make you feel better. This requires fighting against, what for now seems right, normal and Okay.
For today, pick one pattern that has been hard to challenge. Isolate it and try strengthening that other, newer, less familiar part of your brain.
It gets easier, it’s worth it.
