By the time I was nine, I was like a kleptomaniac and it wasn't because I wanted all these things that I stole. So something in my life, I think it caused me to sort of deaden. And for whatever reason, alcohol and drugs brought it alive. The tragic cycle of addiction is after a certain amount of time, as we said, that alcohol or drugs crowds out all your other values. As you feel bad about that, the only way you know to cope with that feeling bad is to drink or get high, which then causes you to crowd out. And that's the downward spiral.
Spencer Greenberg and Eric discuss how to integrate behavior change with your values. They explore the importance of focusing on the process rather than the end goal and share practice strategies for forming habits that will help you live according to your values.
In this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Identify the underlying values that lead to your decisions, and build a strategy around them
- Recognize the crucial role regular self-reflection plays in cultivating these improved practices
- Understand the significance of prioritizing the process, not just the end goal in forming habits
