Break Anxiety and Addiction By Examining Your Patterns. Michael Puett

Break Anxiety and Addiction(중독) By Examining Your Patterns. Watch the newest video from Big Think: https://bigth.ink/NewVideoJoin Big Think Edge for exclusive videos: https://bigth.ink/Edge----------------------------------------------------------------------------------In our lives, we all spend a heck of(대단한) a lot of time with one special person – ourselves. We know what we like, we know what we hate, what we’re good at, where we fall short. The world around you may be a complex mystery, but at least you know yourself, right? Wrong. Harvard Professor of Chinese History Michael Puett is riding in on the Eastern Philosophy steam train to shatter(박살내다) everything you think you know about your "true" self. Firstly, he says, realize that you may think you are a certain way – you have a short temper, but you’re good at thinking on your feet, always have been and always will be. You have probably based your career, your relationships, your lifestyle choices on that information. But what if that is not your true self, but just a series of patterns you’ve fallen into? It’s not essentially you, it’s just who you’ve become. When you start to examine why you are one way or another, you will find at some point it was a reaction to the world around you, which then got solidified(응고된) and now that’s "you", but actually it’s a pattern, and patterns can be altered. He recommends that for your shortcomings(단점, 결점), you should look deeply into why you have adopted that pattern, where did it start, and then break it at its base. For your triumphs, identify(확인하라) why you’re good at a certain thing or in a certain situation, and try to expand that pattern into other areas of your life. Puett goes on to discuss this idea in the context of addiction – the most extreme example of a pattern people fall into. All addiction starts with a moment, a sliding doors comment, event, or an anxiety that comes to you and then compounds(혼합물, 합성물) over time, forcing you to act and seek an outlet(배출구, 출구) for that feeling. But the reason some addiction treatments can be ineffective in the long run is that you’re resisting the outlet, but you’re not breaking the underlying pattern of your addiction. "You’re trying to break it at too late a stage," says Puett. "Like going through the day with all the anxieties, [then saying] ‘Now I’ll try to not get that drink’. Well, good, but you’ve got to start earlier. You’ve got to begin with why those little anxieties begin to gnaw at you at 3am, when you wake up. Why when the alarm goes off they gnaw at you all the more. That’s where you begin to make the little breaks. And over time that’s how you break these larger patterns."Puett is author of The Ambivalence of Creation: Debates Concerning Innovation and Artifice(책략) in Early China. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MICHAEL PUETT:Michael Puett is the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Chair of the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University. He is the author of The Ambivalence of Creation: Debates Concerning Innovation and Artifice in Early China and To Become a God: Cosmology, Sacrifice, and Self-Divinization in Early China, as well as the coauthor of Ritual and its Consequences: An Essay on the Limits of Sincerity. In 2013, he was awarded a Harvard College Professorship for excellence in undergraduate teaching.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT:Michael Puett: If we often ask ourselves okay, who am I? What’s my true self? What am I gifted at? What am I bad at? Oftentimes we’ll answer that assuming this one authentic(진정한, 진짜의) self. So I’m just the sort of person who gets angry at little things but I’m also the sort of person who’s very good at tackling big problems. So that’s me. And then we’ll think through okay, what’s a good career for me? What are good relationships for me based on who I am? Now again suppose that’s all wrong. Suppose those are all simply patterns we’ve fallen into. So it may be empirically right to say right now on someone who gets angry at little things and good at thinking big. But that’s just because I’ve fallen into these patterns. That doesn’t mean that’s essentially me, that’s just who I’ve become. Now if that’s right the question you should be posing to yourself is not who am I. The question you should pose to yourself is what are these patterns I’m falling into? Why do I get angry at these little things all the time? Why do I seem to be what I think is at my best when I’m tackling big problems? And you begin to look at those little things you do on a daily basis that are sort of defining how we’re responding to the world. Read the full transcript at https://bigthink.com/videos/michael-p...

Before disregarding all of this information and moving onto the next video, take a second to really listen to what he's saying. Almost everything we do is a result of patterns that we subconsciously follow. Pay attention to what patterns cause your behavior and really focus on why you follow these patterns. This has worked for me in regards to my anxiety, as well as other commenters on this video. Keep an open mind and pay attention to your life. Self awareness is the first step to change.

Self awareness can make you realize your pattern. Mindfulness alone is curative.

and today were gonnna be talking about awareness...the way to overcome all problems .

the path to mindfulness is understanding the four Nobel truths and following the eight fold path.

The brain is so marvelous that it has the ability to reflect on itself and change itself ..

This is exactly how i changed myself over a course of 2 years! I had severe anxiety issues due to my circumstances. But now im always open to "why" question most of these days and make and effort to be a better version of me everyday!
