Dealing with Digital Addiction in a Focusing Session

I’m so very aware of my own addiction to digital devices. “Do I really need to know at 06:30am when the next full moon is, or what the weather will be like tomorrow”?
Can I call myself an addict? I believe so, because even though my rational mind has said NO and even taken some steps to mitigate, I still cannot willfully change a habit that I have picked up and suddenly months of habit roll into years!
Disappointed that 30 minutes of mindless scrolling had eaten in to my precious yoga time, I decided to get curious about my experience during my Focusing session with my partner today.

Jack Kornfield (2022) " We’re living in a culture that wants to give you a prescription, a painkiller the moment you are a little uncomfortable…a culture that fears discomfort, do anything to stay comfortable…but it doesn’t work that way. When you allow the discomfort, pains, and pleasure…you may expand your window of tolerance to hold it all in compassion"

An excerpt from my latest blog:
The Mother Wound - What is it?
Is a term used to describe messages from our mother or primary carer which we internalized during our developmental years, These messages may become ingrained as a belief about ourself.

Focusing has been my practice for managing this journey, it enables me to attend to all the emotions that rise up. Focusing shows us how to turn towards and acknowledge what is there.
