Why Do I Do What I Do Even When I Don't Want to?

Have you ever wondered why you keep doing things you don't want to do? Why you overthink, procrastinate, emotionally eat, people please, struggle with anxiety, or feel like you're living a life that doesn't quite fit you? The answer may not be who you are. It may be who you adapted to become. In this video, I introduce one of the most important concepts in my work: the difference between your Adapted Self and your Expansive Self. Together, we'll explore how your perception shapes your thoughts, your thoughts shape your feelings, your feelings shape your behaviors and responses, and ultimately, how those patterns create the life you're living. You'll learn: • What the Adapted Self is and why it develops • How survival patterns influence the way you see yourself and the world • Why trying harder hasn't created the life you want • What the Expansive Self is and why it has been there all along • The first step toward creating a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and true to who you are If you've spent years trying to fix yourself, I hope this video helps you see yourself differently. As I always remind us humans, you are not broken; you adapted. Now it's time to adapt again.
