In this video, I talk about how our bad habits are a result of wanting to run away from, or avoid, the difficult feelings that we inevitably deal with on a daily basis:
- Stress
- Sadness/depression
- Anger/frustration/irritation
- Loneliness
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Feeling guilty
- Feeling bad about yourself
These are things we must cope with, and we usually cope by avoiding the feelings and trying to find pleasure in something else.
The meditation I share in the video is a way to deal with those feelings in a healthy way.
