You know, it was just there.
And so I, in a lot of ways, was addicted to anxiety because it was normal.
It was comfortable.
And so our brains are trained to choose the familiar.
It's how we evolved.
The familiar equals safe to our brains.
So our brains aren't like, oh, let's have you build this amazing career and like become your most enlightened self.
Our brains are like, let's just keep you safe.
Let's just get you to the next day, like in the most primal point.
And so we will choose the known over the unknown until we recognize the pattern and become aware of it.
and awaken to it and break that pattern because the comfort, our comfort zones feel safe, even if they're not safe.
Like I was in a relationship that was definitely not safe, but I kept choosing it over and over again because it felt normal.
It felt like a comfort zone.
It felt like, oh, this relationship is giving me anxiety.
Anxiety is normal to me.
This is my baseline.
This is what feels comfortable.
And so I was choosing it over and over again.
And I think that's really, really powerful to understand that we choose these patterns.
We choose these patterns because they're comfort, not because we want to punish ourselves or because we're terrible people.
