Why Do I Keep Doing This?

I’m doing this really weird thing every morning. I’m drinking 2 cups of coffee.

I know, I know, that’s not that weird.

But it is weird because I stopped enjoying coffee at least 6 months ago - maybe longer. 

I don’t know what happened, but one day, it just didn’t taste good. And I made a mental note about it because the only other time I ever felt this way was during both of my pregnancies. Coffee repulsed me. 

If I were pregnant, I would stop drinking coffee immediately. I mean, why would I do something my body is so clearly telling me to stop? 

The problem is that I’m not pregnant. So I get up every morning and make a cup anyway.  And sometimes, I’ll add more cream or even add a little sweetener  because I’m trying to make it taste good. But nothing works. I still don’t like it. 

So of course,  I pour a SECOND cup! And then I drink it the whole time thinking, I really don’t like this. And I’m completely negating what my body is telling me. 

WTF?

There are two things going on here - both of which I’m going to break down in separate sessions. One is is how powerful our habits are. Even when we intellectually know we don’t want something anymore, it takes a minute for our behavior to catch-up. And the second is, trusting our intellectual mind more than trusting our intuitive mind. 

Both of these can be major roadblocks to leading a life we love and deserve. 

Do you have something in your life that you KNOW you want to stop doing but can’t? 

Is your body trying to tell you something but you don’t understand what? 

Let’s talk.
