So the rule of integrity is that I can choose integrity over my chemistry. Really, I can choose my integrity over my chemistry.
Picture this: you're at a crossroads, faced with a choice between sticking to your core values or giving in to your immediate emotional reactions. In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the Rule of Integrity in emotional sobriety. They emphasize the importance of choosing integrity—your core values and principles—over the fleeting biochemical reactions that can lead to erratic behavior. This rule, according to Dr.
Vitz, is the cornerstone for achieving better relationships, enhanced performance, and greater life satisfaction. It’s not just about making a single choice; it’s about training your brain, laying down new myelin, to make this skill automatic. It takes time and effort, but the payoff is immense. Imagine having more control over your habits and behaviors, and building stronger, more trusting relationships.
The hosts also tackle the topic of discord in relationships, noting that the simplest relationships to mend are those with minimal entanglement. Trust-building is a two-way street, they remind us, especially in complex relationships like those with family members or romantic partners. Additionally, they touch on an upcoming practicum starting on February 12th, inviting graduates of the EMSO Essentials Intensive to further hone their skills and rewrite their stories.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and compassionate insights. It serves as a reminder that we have the power to choose integrity over chemistry and that building better relationships starts with earning each other's trust.
