This week's episode came from a question that was asked on Facebook (thank you by the way) ;)

So how do our emotions affect our habits and how do we “detach” from the emotion that is driving these habits in the first place?

We first need to understand what emotions are behind the habits so that we know what to look for. When we can change our response to the emotion we change the way we engage with our habits, thus we change our experience.

And in order to change your habits for the better, it will be extremely helpful to take part in an emotional detox. During an emotional detox, you will be focusing on activities that create less dopamine and more serotonin.

Dopamine is the chemical response that is responsible for keeping us feeling unfilled as it is highly correlated with instant gratification. Whereas serotonin is the chemical that creates long term fulfillment and does not come from instant gratification.

The more you are able to 1. Catch the emotion that is fueling your habits and 2. Engage in behaviors that help you break those habits (ie- creating more serotonin) the more you will have mastery over yourself which always has amazing rewards and benefits.

Join me in exploring how our emotions and habits are interrelated and what we can do to create new habits that serve our greater good.
