Social media.
Junk food
Video games
Alcohol
Drugs
Are these the biggest additions?
We are not addicted to these things.
We are addicted to the feelings that these things generate.
And all addictions generate a feeling of comfort.
Which makes us numb.
When we are addicted to comfort, we don’t get comfortable with failure.
Instead we get comfortable with what we have.
When we are addicted to comfort, we don’t get comfortable with risk.
Instead we get comfortable with safety.
When we are addicted to comfort, we don’t get comfortable with challenges.
Instead we get comfortable with appreciation. The biggest addiction is comfort.
Because we don’t change and challenge ourselves anymore.
