For
one day (or one day a week), refrain from something you habitually do
to run away, to escape. Pick something concrete, such as overeating or
excessive sleeping or overworking or spending too much time texting or
checking e-mails. Make a commitment to yourself to gently and
compassionately work with refraining from this habit for this one day.
Really commit to it. Do this with the intention that it will put you in
touch with the underlying anxiety or uncertainty that you've been
avoiding. Do it and see what you discover.
Pema Chodron
What habit can you work with?
