Episode 256: Tools to Stay Committed During the Holiday Season with Hunter
Are you worried about staying committed during the busy holiday season? The holidays bring travel, family dynamics, stress, and disrupted routines that can trigger emotional discomfort. In this episode, Hunter addresses a concern many have when working to overcome pornography: how to keep making progress when your normal systems and routines are disrupted.
Hunter reframes the holidays not as a setback, but as an opportunity to practice the skills you've been developing. While your environment may change and emotional triggers may become louder, these challenges offer a chance to test and strengthen the tools you've learned. Feeling more difficult emotions doesn’t mean you're failing. It’s simply a normal part of the process.
You'll learn mindset shifts that can make a real difference during the holidays, like understanding that increased urges are a natural brain response to unusual circumstances. Hunter also explains why true commitment isn’t about having zero urges, but about showing up and using your tools when those urges arise. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand that success during the holidays isn’t about perfection, but about showing up consistently, even when it feels challenging.
