The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 333: Conversations with a Sorcerer: Your Addictions, Part Two
In this episode, we continue exploring the complex and often misunderstood topic of addictions. Building on the previous episode, I delve deeper into how these addictions, both chemical and non-chemical, can impact our lives, our bodies, and even our sleep.
Addictions aren’t just about substances like alcohol or drugs; they also manifest as mental habits—patterns of behavior and thought that hold us back from evolving. Anger, self-pity, worry—these, too, are forms of addiction, keeping us trapped in a cycle that prevents us from growing. Don Xavier has always emphasized that our greatest power is choice. It's essential to recognize the choices we make every day, especially those that lead us to negative or destructive habits.
I discuss how our bodies are constantly renewing themselves, yet we sabotage this natural healing process through our addictions. Whether it’s a physical addiction to a substance or a mental addiction to a negative emotion, these patterns impede our growth and evolution. It’s crucial to understand that even though we may feel stuck, we always have the power to make a different choice.
We also touch on the concept of how our mental state before sleep can influence our subconscious mind during dream time. The worries and fears we take to bed with us can become like a virus, affecting not only our sleep but also our ability to access higher consciousness and awareness.
Listen and enjoy!
Transformational Takeaway: Recognize the addictions that are holding you back and make the conscious decision to cultivate positive habits that support your growth and evolution. Establish unbreakable standards for yourself—commitments that you will not compromise on, no matter what. By exercising your will, not just your willpower, you can break free from negative patterns and align your life with your highest potential
