Growth & Fixed Mindset in Language, Beliefs, Addiction, and Recovery

Thursday May 25, 2023

Ep #213 - When it comes to sobriety and recovery, your mindset can play a crucial role. If you're holding onto a fixed mindset, you might find yourself viewing setbacks or relapses as personal failures or weaknesses, thinking, "I can't change, this is just who I am." But remember, a lapse is not a relapse, it's not a sign you can't recover, it's just a bump in the road. Recovery isn't a straight path, it's a journey with twists and turns.

Now, a growth mindset is what we want to embrace here. Instead of labeling yourself as an "addict" or seeing a slip as a full-blown relapse, see these moments as opportunities to learn and adjust your strategies. You might stumble, yes, but each stumble is a chance to stand taller.

The same goes for age and our belief in our abilities. If you think you're "too old to change" or that you're "set in your ways," it can limit your potential for growth. The truth is, it's never too late to learn, grow, or change.

And for all the parents out there, encouraging a growth mindset in your children, teenagers, and young adults can shape their future. Labeling them, or focusing solely on outcomes, might hinder their perception of their own abilities. Instead, let's encourage effort, resilience, and the understanding that abilities can be developed.

Remember, embracing a growth mindset is a game-changer, in recovery, parenting, and life in general. It's about recognizing that we can grow, change, and adapt, no matter the challenges we face.

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!
