Practical Definition Of Addiction
- Addiction is any repeated behavior causing net harm that you continue despite consequences.
- Assess behaviors holistically to decide if they bring overall benefit or harm.
The Gray Area Of Harmful Habits
- Many addictions live in a gray area where benefits and harms coexist and are hard to judge.
- Self-awareness is required to see how a habit actually impacts your life over time.
Practice Mindfulness To Build Awareness
- Practice mindfulness to build present-moment awareness of your mind, body, and environment.
- Use that awareness to notice triggers before you react, rather than relying on journaling alone.
