Hey, friend. Welcome to today's quick connect where
we take a moment toward mastery. Today, I
wanna introduce a word that describes behaviors that
we engage when we have not made the
commitment
to change a pattern. So this word is
called maladaptation.
And I was thinking about it because I
was thinking of how during some of the
challenges in my own life, I had picked
up some maladaptive
behaviors. And these are basically just workarounds. They're
behaviors that we engage in order to help
us kinda feel safe and to avoid pain
because of the pain we've been through. And
the reality is maladaptation is a band aid.
It's not a good long term fit or
solution.
Healing is actually the solution. In order to
heal, we gotta be able to be uncomfortable
enough to look at that root. Whatever that
pain of pain is that wants to keep
finding its way back around in our lives
over and over again, over and over again.
That pattern will continue, my friend, until we
identify it and pull out that root and
then
replace it with a behavior that is much
more beneficial for us and for everybody else
that we know and love. I'm gonna do
a long form episode on this coming up
soon, but for now, today's invitation is let's
start digging around. What are we doing that
takes the place of actually healing
in any given area of our lives? And
I'll tell you what to do with it
in in the next podcast. I'm with you
in it as always. You know that. Much
love to you, and here's to making every
moment count.
