The patterns we hold on to are deeply engrained into our everyday behaviour. What ways can we identify addictive behaviour? How can we rectify it? Why do we need to let go of old ways?
Addictions aren't necessarily always related to the things we can clearly see. Often, addictions relate also to actions, behaviours, emotional responses and pay-offs that are not visible. Addictions do not have to be of the drug, sex and monetary kind.
Realising true and ongoing fulfilment requires change. Change is a concept with which we all struggle. Sitting back and having a good hard look at the way we conduct our self, the choices we make and the reactions is a difficult challenge. To identify ourselves under the microscope can be very confronting and require a lot of hard work in letting go.
To gain ongoing fulfilment in life and achieve what we were put on this world to do requires us to create a while new system for life. Many addictions of behaviour in process of changing might include seeking acceptance, doing what other people would see as the right thing, afraid of not being liked, being seen as incompetent and responding to situations with fear, anger, insecurity or as a victim.
Theses are some of the ways we are addicted to behaving regardless of the situation. It really goes to show that no matter what happens in this world, the only thing we can do to make improvement is change ourselves. We need to make proactive decisions to be aware of these feelings and to act in a very different way.
