People are choosing to numb out or distract from themselves more than ever before in this plugged-in society.
Ever thought about why we reach for that extra drink or endlessly scroll through social media? Andrew Wild believes it's all about avoiding pain. In this episode of 'Braving the Journey', host Zach Mathers sits down with Wild to explore the real reasons behind our addictions and distractions. From alcohol and drugs to social media and overeating, Wild argues that these are just symptoms of a deeper issue – our unwillingness to face our emotions.
He suggests that instead of asking 'why the addiction?', we should be asking 'why the pain?'. By shifting our focus, we can start to find lasting solutions to these widespread problems. Wild also delves into the importance of processing childhood experiences and how they shape our adult behaviors. He offers practical advice on establishing morning routines and the power of devotion as tools for personal growth.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the roots of addiction and find healthier ways to cope. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights and actionable tips in this heartfelt conversation.
