Philosophical questions to expand your recovery mindset

Ep #226 - Addiction recovery at it's heart is about personal growth and self-discovery. We chose to accept this journey when we sought sobriety as a way of life - or atleast you all chose this mindset because you do, after all, listen to this show.  Today let's get a bit philosophical. Let's explore our ways of thinking...not to necessarily change our opinions, values, beliefs, etc., but to check ourselves a bit, to step further into the sunshine and out of the shade. Topics for today: That which you resist persists. Restriction causes friction Loosely held strong opinions Do not take things personally Self-awareness Philosophical hypothesis: 1. What if every decision you have ever made exists in it's own room in your Decisions McMansion? What if ever decision is just who you were then and every decision has a door that allows you to go back, time and time again, to make the same decision or check that decision for validity as the current version of you? Questions we use to guide us is this infinite space: What if everything I think is true? What if everything I think is false? What if everything I like about something is true and everything someone else doesn't like about this thing is false? What if everything I like about something is false and everything someone else doesn't like about this thing is true? Checking our egos at the door is not something the brain is prone to do so we have to be willing to push ourselves into that uncomfortable space so often that we grow comfortable in the uncomfortable - as I believe once something gets comfortable then the growing slows. It doesn't stop. Growing is always happening BUT it can slow down and in a world where we can create our best selves it is imperative we know when we can work a little harder or take a rest day.  Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now. It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN. Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, head the call! ******************************************** I know you enjoy the show, so PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND REVIEW on your preferred streaming app or click this link to review on iTunes - Let’s spread the word about our show TOGETHER!    Your simple action of rating and reviewing does wonders in helping others find the show.   Thank you so much for listening and being a part of my tribe and this wonderfully supportive community.
