In today's episode I'm going to teach you how to stop Indulging In Safe Problems.
So, what is a safe problem?

Well, a safe problem is a problem that never gets solved.
It’s something we continually struggle with.
It’s just kind of like a good friend... a problem that's always there when we need it.

Most of us have a safe problem.

E**ven though the struggle with food and our weight FEELS like a REAL problem….the truth….is that for MOST of us…..what’s actually happening is that we’re Indulging in a Safe Problem.

And Indulging In A Safe Problem is actually allowing us, preventing us, DiSTRACTING us away from our REAL problems

Maybe working on our marriage is the real thing we need to focus on….
Or maybe changing careers
Or maybe getting our finances in order**

But our safe problem is there to the rescue. And we can't solve our safe problem because we have a whole story enveloped in WHY we can’t solve it.

And it’s supported with lots of other safe feelings.

Safe feelings like worry and overwhelm. Those are 2 of the safest and most useless emotions. They get you absolutely NO WHERE.

**Everyone’s heard that saying, ‘worry gets you no where’ and it’s totally true. Worry is absolutely useless. And it’s worse than useless, because it’s draining.

I'm going to teach you how to stop indulging in safe problems and the safe feelings that perpetuate them.**

You’ll know you’re making progress when you start to make the connection that indulging in potato chips and wine is no different than indulging in worry and confusion.

They’re the same.
They all boil down to decisions that don’t get you want you want.

**And when we indulge in safe problems and safe feelings, we’re not doing that because we’re dumb or we’re bad or we’re wrong...we just didn’t know about this before. So, now you better. Now you can make different choices.
