A proven path to seeing God, yourself, and others through a filter of God's grace.

When we attack the FRUIT of someone's behavior we unintentionally strengthen the ROOT that's driving that behavior! Be careful when you’re working on breaking a cycle that you don’t make it worse instead of better.

Two critical steps in breaking unhealthy cycles: 1) own your responses, and 2) name the need. Learn to distinguish between a need and want.

Own your response. Name your need. Continuing the conversation on the habit cycle. 

IT WON’T STOP UNTIL YOU OWN IT! Other people do not cause your response. How you have learned to get your needs met and manage your feelings drives your response. Then your response is the other person’s trigger. STAY IN TOUCH: https://linktr.ee/chipjudd
