Ep #146 - Patience is not the act of waiting, it is the attitude you have while you are waiting. As addicts we lacked patience in many aspects of our lives. Now, as we journey from sober curious, and from sobriety to recovery - we want to be extremely mindful of how we are being patient or impatient in our life.
As we encourage ourselves to add in new, more desirable habits, being mindful of over habit stacking is something to pay attention toward each day. Shooting ourselves out of a cannon, and expecting ourselves to keep up that level of energy, doesn't leave a whole lot of space for us to expand. It's the tortoise and the hare fable playing out in our very own lives.
When we lack impulse control and seek to cannon fire ourselves into new ways of behaving we open the door for us to not keep our promises to ourselves, as the fiery excitement wanes, because we can often, misguidedly, believe that it was that excitement that created the desire to change and not the internal flame of our divine essence.
I know this description might be sounding a bit heady. Feel me on this, how you picture yourself accomplishing goals in your life is not generally how they are actually accomplished.
Let's use our addictive nature for good instead of evil and slowly integrate new habits and behaviors and down the road we will look back and be amazed at our progress - this I can promise because I have been doing it for years with myself, clients, and attendees and have seen the results for myself time and time again
All that you seek is on the other side of risk and that risk today is choosing patience over speed. Impulse control is a real thing and we're going to get even deeper into than we have did in episode #76.
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.
Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.
