Everything we do, we do to either feel better or avoid feeling pain. In today’s episode, we discuss how we often number ourselves to avoid feeling uncomfortable. We over-eat, over-drink, watch tv, scroll through social media, over-work. We talk about the impact of doing that & what we can do that would serve us better.

Some of the things we discuss: • We haven’t been taught to deal with our feelings. • Not feeling bad isn’t the same as feeling good. • If we keep using food, alcohol, entertainment, work to avoid feeling our feelings, we will keep relying on those things. • Avoiding negative feelings now doesn’t mean they will go away—you will probably have to deal with them later. • Learning to acknowledge & label your feelings is the first step • Judging ourselves for our feelings. • You can have uncomfortable feelings & still take productive action.
