Navigating negative thoughts and feelings

Monday Dec 04, 2023

Ep #241 - Picture yourself as your spirit animal, deep in a dense, shadowy forest, embodying the emotional turmoil many face in addiction. This journey delves into the thickets of past mistakes and the fear-laden shadows of an uncertain future. But it also offers a guiding light – forgiveness.

Let's explore how your spirit discovers the power of forgiveness, using it as a lantern to illuminate the path out of the emotional darkness. You'll witness your spirit's struggles with overthinking and pacing in circles, and I'll illustrate actionable steps to break free from this cycle.

In this parable, your spirit animal faces mythical creatures and judgmental figures, symbolizing figments of your imagination, false visions, and external judgment. I'll discuss the importance of building self-esteem from within and focusing on personal growth.

As your spirit journeys through the forest, overcoming challenges, you'll reveal your valley of self-discovery. This is a place of transformation where you will find your true self.

Finally, as your spirit ascends the mountain, representing personal achievements and aspirations, you'll feel the conquering of your emotional forest. From that place, you'll see yourself for who you have always been - a human worthy of empathy, acceptance, and love.

Hit play and dive in with an open mind and heart. You're exactly where you need to be right now. It's time to shine. Step into the SUN. Stand tall and step forward—it's your turn to heed the call!
