How To Defeat Codependence From The Inside

Codependence

  • Society teaches us an unhealthy kind of love, telling us that we are to search for one elusive, a mystical being that completes us in all aspects. Love need not be codependent, scarce and elusive but can be independent.
  • When we look for approval from others, taking the preferences of people closest to us in hopes of acceptance, we become codependent, and when we become frustrated with this co-dependence, we protect ourselves by being manipulative, evasive and passive-aggressive.

Codependence

  • Society teaches us an unhealthy kind of love, telling us that we are to search for one elusive, a mystical being that completes us in all aspects. Love need not be codependent, scarce and elusive but can be independent.
  • When we look for approval from others, taking the preferences of people closest to us in hopes of acceptance, we become codependent, and when we become frustrated with this co-dependence, we protect ourselves by being manipulative, evasive and passive-aggressive.

Towards Independence

To defeat co-dependence:

  • Identify the problem.
  • Identify associated thought patterns.
  • Identify the cost of stagnation.
  • Identify the rewards of growth.

Meditation
Meditation aids our independence from others, helping us become complete and rooted. Meditation provides us with an inner growth that makes us independent and self-sufficient mentally, spiritually and emotionally. It helps us figure out who we are from inside.

Last year Dina, a CEO I'd been working with, felt that leaders on her team were playing it too safe. They weren't finding and pursuing new growth opportunities and it was crippling the organization. She kicked off her October management team meeting, which I was attending, by reading the following passage from my book: The dangers of taking too much risk are very clear.

Hanging onto old ideas

People try desperately to hang on to antiquated ways of doing business because of a false sense of security. They believe that they can maintain their old ideas indefinitely, even if all evidence shows the contrary.

In the past six months that I've been a content crafter at Buffer, I've been writing a lot. I've also been trying to write regularly on my own blog and for my startup. That's a lot of writing. During this time, I've been experimenting with small changes in my workflow, my writing process, and the types of content I produce.

Key Ideas

Expose It to Different People

Feedback is very important. Having someone read over your writing can highlight issues like typos or grammatical issues,  and help you to clean up your work.

Experiment with New Formats

New formats are exciting and scary, and definitely worth doing if you want to stretch your writing muscle.

Try new kinds of content (articles, opinions, announcements, etc.) and play with different formats, to see what works best (images usually make a post more interesting, regardless of format).

Change Your Workflow

Try different methods, environments, and schedules in your quest for a workflow that suits you.

Experimenting is really helpful in determining what works and what doesn't.
