Your Habits or Soft Addictions Steal Your Joy and Happiness

want to know what the difference is between an addiction and a habit. Well, almost everyone that I asked this question to says the same thing. Well, an addiction is something that is an outside behavior that you're doing that you can't stop. Well, so it's a habit, right? It's an internal behavior that you can't stop. Now, there are life altering addictions, obviously, those are hard addictions. And then there's soft addictions, things that you do consistently, like, spend way too much time on Facebook or tick tock. Now, if you have a habit or an addiction, that you want to stop, the reason that those things are so difficult to stop is because we are not aware of the energy that goes on the on the inside of us that creates that addiction or that habit. In other words, you're not thinking, when we are able to think about what we're doing, we're less likely to do that behavior. Like we wouldn't choose to do something that's mindless, right? Usually when we're doing something mindless, like a soft addiction, like spending too much time watching TV, or like I said on Facebook, it means that we are mindlessly not present. When you are more present, and you're thinking about what you're doing, you're less likely to do an addiction that creates difficulties for you later on. So here is what I'd like you to be thinking about when it comes to your habits or addictions. Think about why you're doing them. Just sit and think about them. And when you catch yourself getting ready to do a habit, or an addiction, even though it might not be life altering, think about what is it effect on your life? What's enough, what's its effect on your life, and how is it affecting you doesn't really create the kind of person that you want to be now sure we want to be entertained. But in reality, spending way too much time doing things that are mind numbing means that we're not present and it steals from us the ability to have joy and happiness, joy and happiness comes from being present, not from doing mindless activities.
