Today In The Circle, we are sitting with Kathryn who has an inquiry about workaholism and the addiction to more. Kathryn asks… How can I avoid the trap of workaholism and overachieving?In this episode, we take a very sobering look at the idea of contentment and how we might actually find it in our lives. This is an important exploration because it asks us to go much deeper than the surface understanding of addiction and recovery. What is the goal? What are we shooting for? What's the point? We will never find out if we live life according to if/then thinking. This is the phenomena of looking to circumstances to arrange themselves in such a way that we can then be content. Living this way creates a dangerous reliance and unlikely effort to make the outside world meet our needs. This is a profound inquiry that leads to a deeper understanding of addiction and what beliefs stand in the way of a great life. Let’s jump in and discuss.Tommy discusses:• Lessons from Tommy’s personal journey• The if/then mentality doesn’t work• Why having more money doesn’t equate to fulfillment• What parts of our lives suffer when we engage in workaholism• When will enough be enough?• Finding the true path to peace and contentmentConnect with Tommy• @TommyRosen on Instagram• Tommy on Facebook• Tommy on TikTokAddiction is part of everyone’s journey, but recovery is not.
