Ever wondered why we sometimes can't resist doing things we know are bad for us? In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen tackles this very question, inspired by a query from a listener named James. Tommy dives into the human psyche, exploring why we chase after dangerous thrills and indulge in harmful habits, even when we know the consequences.
From the joy of music to the delight of tasty food, our five senses often lead us into seeking heightened experiences that can throw us off balance and into addiction. Tommy explains that our cravings are deeply rooted in our body's chemistry. By understanding our hormonal and nervous systems, we can start to pinpoint why we fall into these patterns.
Whether it's sugar imbalances or other sensory triggers, Tommy sheds light on how our internal workings push us toward these behaviors. He defines addiction as any behavior that persists despite its negative effects and emphasizes the importance of realigning our nervous system to find joy in the simple, everyday moments. Throughout the episode, Tommy offers practical insights on how to shift these harmful patterns.
He talks about the impact of food on our recovery journeys and challenges the notion of being 'broken'. Instead, he advocates for a holistic approach that addresses mind, body, and spirit. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of risky behavior or are looking for ways to find peace in the present, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
Tommy's thoughtful discussion is a reminder that while being human is tough, understanding our inner workings can help us break free from harmful habits and find contentment in the ordinary.
