Episode 179 - Just As Well

What are your compulsive behaviors?

In this episode, Kellan talks about “Just as Well” – a song written about troubling addictions. We often think of addictions as external – drugs, alcohol, food, shopping, gambling, and so on. Kellan tells us there are internal manifestations as well – self-criticism, indecisiveness, and fear of imperfection.

Addictions are compulsive behaviors that we use as coping mechanisms. Kellan reminds us that, although some may seem benign, all addictions are damaging in some way or another. It is up to us to assess our own behaviors, and consciously plan to have fewer “addictions” in our lives going forward.

Reducing your own damaging behaviors and increasing your self-love are the two starting points that you need to consider once you’ve decided that you’re going to build toward Your Ultimate Life.

Key Takeaways:

• “Addictions are compulsive behaviors that we use as coping mechanisms. Some are legal, and some are illegal, but all of them are damaging.”
• “Frightening people into a particular behavior doesn’t really work.”
• “One thing that we do is we worry so much about what somebody is thinking about what we did or didn’t say or do. The truth is they’re not.”
• “We don’t see the world the way it is. We see the world the way we are.”
• “Every time you criticize someone, it’s because you don’t like that behavior in yourself.”
• “Think about the things that keep you stuck – the easiest one of those things, start with that: make a plan to have a life with less of it.”
• “Increase your love for yourself.”
  “I don’t care where you are or what has come before in your life. I don’t care how bad you think you are, or how hopeless, lost, or late – you are worth effort, and you will benefit from increasing the love, kindness, and patience that you show to yourself.”
