Summary
“Self-Addiction”
Like most people, you probably want to change something about yourself that's not working well. Maybe it's a habit you've tried to kick but keep falling back into. Training sessions and workshops might offer good advice, but they often miss the mark on how to actually apply it to your life. This is especially tough when you're trying to change a behavior that feels ingrained, like working late all the time or talking too much.
Even though it might not seem like it, habits like these can act a lot like addictions. They're repetitive actions that hold you back instead of moving you forward. Sometimes, you might not even realize you're doing them. And even if you do, you might think it's just who you are and feel stuck. If you're dealing with a serious addiction like drinking or gambling, it's essential to seek professional help. But for those everyday habits that feel like they're holding you back, understanding them as self-addictions can be the first step to breaking free.
