Summary

Why is it so hard to let go of addictive patterns? In this episode, I’m sharing the most important step you can take to break a negative cycle. I’ll help you see addictive patterns for what they really are and guide you to take the first step toward freedom and relief. The following are helpful resources and books I mention in the episode. If you want a deeper understanding of addictive patterns, check out my book Happy Days. Chapter 2 in particular, “Become Brave Enough to Wonder,” offers techniques for identifying your triggers and the ways you run from them. Want even more support? I created the Miracle Membership to help you design a spiritual practice you can stick to—so you can feel connected, supported and inspired every day. Every Sunday you’ll get an easy-to-follow outline for the week, with a meditation, an affirmation, a lesson, a worksheet and so much more. Plus, it’s easy to access on your phone, computer or tablet.
