That simple mental adjustment has helped me immeasurably.
Ever find yourself stuck in a moment of indecision, wondering what the right choice is? Nora Franche has a nifty trick up her sleeve that might just help. In this episode of 'Grateful Blessed Mess', Nora delves into the concept of 'acting as if' – a mental adjustment that can make a world of difference in early recovery.
She explains how asking yourself, 'If I were abstinent right now, what would I do?' can steer your brain towards making healthier decisions. It's like tricking your mind into thinking like a recovered person, and it can be surprisingly effective. Nora also touches on the crucial role mindset coaching plays in this process. She emphasizes that our thoughts shape our emotions, which in turn influence our actions.
By tweaking our thoughts, we can pave the way for better actions and a more successful recovery journey. She encourages listeners to pick one thing they feel they can't do and try 'acting as if' they can – even if it's just for a few seconds. This simple exercise can build confidence and foster a positive mindset. But it's not just about individual effort. Nora highlights the importance of community support in the recovery process.
She invites listeners to join the Grateful Blessed Mess Facebook group, where they can find additional support and engage in discussions with others on the same journey. Nora's insights offer a practical and relatable approach to tackling the challenges of early recovery. Whether you're new to the 12-step program or looking for fresh strategies to stay on track, this episode provides valuable takeaways that can help you navigate your path to sobriety.
