Why We Love The Holidays That Make Us Sick

 

Humans are creatures who love ritual, ceremony and predictability….because predictability registers as safety and security in the human psyche. An unknown future creates anxiety in the human animal because what may be coming (or what may not be coming) isn’t predictable. This is why humans love yearly ceremonies and rituals like Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s……because it’s something they can count on, something they know, something they can predict, something that makes them feel like they’re in control and control registers as increased safety in the mind.

This means “what is” and “what we’ve always done” is lusted after and clung to with extreme vigor (because it feels good)……..even if what we’ve always done isn’t serving us. Imagine someone saying “I’m not doing Halloween anymore…….ever”. More and more people are in fact doing that these days because Halloween literally destroys the stability of our communities by initiating disease epidemics in the children and tallies massive profits for companies who don’t care about maintaining life on this planet. Yet for many people, they just can’t break away from doing what they’ve always done, because it gives them that security and predictability.

This is why humans can easily fall in love with the rituals and habits that are destroying them, especially when they’ve never learned how to create “security” internally, within themselves. I taught myself to develop my feelings of security within myself, so I don’t get caught up in the self abuse rituals that dominate our inverted culture. I don’t need Christmas, Halloween, the big yearly sports championship etc to feel safe because I carry my security inside. The fear of doing away with obvious self destructive habits, simply because they satisfy safety and security requirements in the human psyche, is the battle ground of the saboteur. The saboteur knows they want to give up “the same old, same old” but they often don’t know why the self abusive habits are so enticing. This is where a good self sabotage coach comes into the picture. To explain exactly how the human mind really works and to plot a course for future life success, where only the positive things in life are carried out.
