Exploring Learning, Buddhist Psychology, and Self-Judgment in Overcoming Unhealthy Behaviors
The brain learns through repeated teaching similar to how an iPhone learns facial recognition. Buddhist psychology emphasizes exploring gratification to its end rather than relying on willpower, focusing on awareness to recognize the unrewarding nature of unhealthy behaviors. Self-judgment, influenced by societal norms, can lead to unhealthy eating habits as a way of coping with negative emotions. By practicing self-compassion and kindness, individuals can overcome self-judgment and develop healthier behaviors.
