Episode 126: Productivity & Worthiness

June 12, 20232 min read

As humans, it's common for us to derive our sense of worth from our productivity. This is especially true if you live in Western culture, where there is a heavy emphasis on achievement. We receive messages from church, social media, school, and our families that tie our value directly to our accomplishments.

This association may serve us well and drive success in certain areas of life. However, when it comes to quitting porn, intertwining productivity and worthiness isn't actually helpful. In fact, it makes it even more challenging to overcome porn addiction. If you're ready for an alternative approach, this episode is for you.

Tune in this week to start recognizing how you link your worthiness to your productivity and learn how to break free from this mindset. I'm showing you precisely how this way of thinking affects your attempts to quit viewing porn, the unhelpful thoughts and emotions that arise when you base your worthiness on productivity, and how to begin cultivating feelings of worthiness and self-acceptance, regardless of your porn use.

  • Why associating worthiness with productivity isn’t helpful for quitting pornography.

  • The unhelpful thoughts we generate as a result of believing we aren’t good enough.

  • Why feeling worthy and enough is a skill we can develop.

  • How to start cultivating the feelings of worthiness and enoughness without relying on productivity.
