Have you ever considered you are your biggest enemy?

Most people are experts in self-destruction and fail to recognize patterns sabotaging their lives.

Our brains are wired for survival, not happiness, making self-sabotage an evolutionary tactic hard to shake off.

But awareness is the first step toward change.

By identifying unhealthy patterns sabotaging your life, you get to eradicate them.

See if you check one of those boxes.

You scroll too much.

Humans are wired to connect.

But if you drown your desire for connection by binging on social media, you miss the point of relationships.

This digital overindulgence has replaced real, messy but beautiful human connections.

Scrolling through your feed is like junk food for your brain. It feels good in the moment, but leaves you feeling empty and a bit loathsome.

Do this: no more scrolling when eating, brushing your teeth, and before bed.

Reconnect with the world beyond the screen.

Grab a coffee with a friend without phones on the table.
