How this one mental skill can help you break free from compulsive behaviors

In this video I talk about the roots of addiction and how equanimity can help you break compulsive habits and behaviors.

Whether it’s a drug or substance addiction, or a behavioral addiction, the drive to act out always stems from some underlying pain or suffering that we are attempting to deal with.

Equanimity is a mental quality that helps us stay grounded and non-reactive, even in the midst of that pain. It’s a valuable resource for breaking addictive and compulsive habits and behaviors, as it allows us to sit with what’s happening, and turn toward that pain with compassion, rather than running away from it.
