Ep #212 - In this insightful episode, we grapple with the profound influence of our own self-judgment on our journey to recovery.
We start by focusing on consciously choosing empowering thoughts about ourselves and our lives. We discuss the importance of awareness and how to refrain from entertaining self-deprecating thoughts.
Next, we delve into positive self-talk, learning to let go of negative chatter. We evaluate our directions in life, understanding whether we're moving towards our ideal self or away from our undesired self. The conversation also covers guilt versus acceptance and the ability to provide empowering explanations over blaming circumstances or others.
The third part of our discussion helps you determine the positive self-beliefs you can align with, followed by an exploration of the elements you can control: your strength, mind, body, spirit, and emotions.
We then discuss the necessity of inviting fear to foster courage, emphasizing that experiencing fear is normal, but it shouldn't hinder your actions.
Lastly, we caution against going to extremes, reminding you that self-criticism isn't productive. Instead, we encourage embracing your amazing qualities and maintaining the momentum in your recovery journey. We end by highlighting the process of aligning current experiences with future aspirations through positive reframing and conscious shifting of language patterns.
