What Are You Addicted To?

In this episode of Your Mind is Trying To Kill You Podcast, Artist/Hypnotherapist, Alexandros Megas and Business Coach, Vincent Byrne tackle the controversial question ‘What Are You Addicted To?’ They talk about, what addiction actually means and it turns out that we are all addicted to lots of thing because that is the nature of our programming. However it is only addictions to what is considered 'bad' for us, whether it be alcohol, drugs , gambling, pornography etc that get the headlines and seem to isolate people who have those addictions, whereas we could all put our hands up to some form of addiction or other. They just might not be addictive enough to have a negative impact on our lives. The guys discuss the factors that set up addictive behaviour and why addictions are so hard to break. However, rather than categorising it as illness, perhaps the better way to look on it is as habitual behaviours which are feeding the subconscious's need for pleasure, and with this view, there is true potential to break these destructive habits and programs. It was an interesting conversation and, as we are not doctors we are not offering medical advice, but it is a topic that we found important to discuss because it is linked so closely to much of what we regularly talk about. So listen up and enjoy!
