WHY DO I HAVE BAD HABITS?
An interesting question, one I used to dwell on. Martha Beck has a simple answer.
“Bad habits fill needs, so find good alternatives for them.”
Which might lead one to ask, what needs are filled by bad habits?
For me, I developed bad habits to escape a life I was unhappy with. A life heavy on emotional pain, insecurities, low self-esteem, feeling sick and tired constantly, anger, resentments. I developed bad habits as coping methods to escape a life that I was not happy in.
Let’s reverse this.
Why do I have good living habits today?
Applying Beck’s logic, my needs are met.
While this is not 100% the case, it is for the most part true. Many of the habits that I considered “bad” are gone today because I found a balanced way of living and a model for good mental hygiene. It did not come easy and came with a lot of help from some expert sources.
Want to get rid of those bad habits and find a healthy way to insure your basic needs are met?
