Which of your habits are keeping you stuck — and how would you know?
from The Stoic Compass
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why habits feel impossible to break—and argue that the real problem is not the behavior itself, but the unmet need it is still serving. The episode reveals how to spot a habit that has truly stuck: it no longer feels like a choice, it feels like reality, and you will find it in the moment just before you react, not in the reaction itself. You will leave with a concrete way to see one habit clearly enough to know whether it is still protecting you from something real, or keeping you answering a question the world stopped asking long ago.📖 Pay Attention by C.
