The Addictions You Don’t Realize Are Stealing Your Joy

Nature Fit Family with Brett Traudt

In this episode NatureFit Family, Brett dives into the often-overlooked topic of addictions, exploring both the obvious ones, like smoking and drinking, and subtler addictions, such as procrastination or phone dependency. Brett candidly shares his personal struggles with addiction, his journey to overcoming them, and the importance of seeing beauty in ourselves and the world around us.

Key Takeaways:

1. Addiction Goes Beyond the Obvious While most think of addiction as substances like alcohol or drugs, Brett highlights behaviors such as gossiping, procrastination, or constant phone use as addictions that also negatively impact our lives.
2. Overcoming Addiction is a Journey Brett shares his struggle with smoking and the pivotal moment that helped him quit for good. He emphasizes that readiness to change often comes unexpectedly but requires self-compassion and persistence.
3. See Beauty Beyond the Negativity Society often gravitates toward negativity, making it challenging to see beauty—in nature, our children, and even ourselves. Brett encourages listeners to embrace these moments of beauty to foster positivity and self-love.
4. You Are Beautiful Through Your Child’s Eyes Children see the best in their parents, viewing them as role models and sources of inspiration. Brett shares a heartfelt story about his son aspiring to follow in his footsteps, reminding us of the importance of self-worth and the powerful influence we have on our kids.

Take a moment today to reflect on your own habits and addictions, celebrate the beauty around you, and remind yourself that you are worthy of love and positivity.
