Good habits come from consistent effort. Perhaps you've been striving to implement better habits recently. Depending on how dedicated you've been to this routine, you might soon realize the impact that it has had on your life. You may want to stop and pay attention to what your body is telling you, because otherwise, you risk being so distracted by the hustle and bustle of everyday life that you don't even notice the positive impacts. Listen to what your body has to say.

There's a toxic myth about codependency that keeps millions of people trapped in shame:

The belief that codependency is a personality flaw.

I see it all the time — people who feel embarrassed about being codependent. Who think it means they're weak. Who believe it's just "who they are."

But let's make something clear - codependency is not a personality flaw. It is a survival response.

Let me say that again:

Codependency is not WHO you are. It's what happened to you.

***It is literally the only way your brain knew how to keep you safe in an environment where love felt conditional, approval was scarce, and your emotional needs weren't consistently met.

Your brain adapted to survive. It developed patterns to minimize pain and maximize whatever love and approval was available.

That's not weakness. That's resilience.

The problem isn't that you developed these patterns. The problem is that these patterns are now running your adult life when you no longer need them.

This shift in perspective is crucial for healing because:

It removes the shame that blocks true recovery

It honors the wounded child who did the best they could

It separates your authentic self from your coping mechanisms

It creates space for compassionate change rather than self-criticism

When you feel like it's not your fault, you release shame and guilt. Unnecessary guilt and shame.
