Many of you fear serpents in real life. We fear their bite and their venom. However, not all snakes are venomous, and those that are carry both the poison and the antidote within their systems.
What are the bad habits that are poisoning your life?
Perhaps it’s your tendency to please others that ultimately undermines your self-worth, emotional well-being, or your sense of being respected, valued, or loved.
Maybe you find yourself constantly complaining about the world, and everyday frustrations can lead to a perpetually negative outlook, overshadowing life’s beauty and simple joys, and ultimately taking a toll on your well-being.
Perhaps it is something you consume too much of, such as cigarettes, alcohol, television, video games, social media impacting your mood, health, inner judgment, and you name it. Maybe it is your hesitation and constant questioning that prevents you from enjoying life, moving forward, or feeling safe.
And maybe it is another habit that comes to your mind when reading these lines.
Now, before blaming and shaming yourself, understand that, at some point, these habits or patterns served a purpose or responded to a need. You can thank them for that, and you can assess if they are still serving you or if at some point they started working against you.
Perhaps the pleaser in you wanted to feel loved and now feels used. Maybe the complaining part of you helped you find the motivation to change things or yourself for the better but now turns you bitter. Maybe the overconsumption filled a void, but now it takes up all the space. Perhaps the constant questioning now prevents you to take actions.
Observe and assess what became your inner poison and use this awareness into a roadmap toward your antidote.
