Finding Joy in Saying No: Self-Care and Authentic Living

What you're missing out on is being fully engaged with yourself and the people that matter to you and the present moment.
Ever feel torn between the fear of missing out and the joy of taking time for yourself? In this episode of 'Conscious Contact', hosts Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders dive into the delicate balance of managing FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and JOMO (Joy of Missing Out). As women in recovery, they understand the critical role self-care plays in maintaining sobriety and living authentically. They chat about how self-reflection helps them distinguish between genuine opportunities and unnecessary distractions.
Susan reminds us that 'what you're missing out on is being fully engaged with yourself and the people that matter to you'. This episode isn't just about saying no; it's about recognizing that every yes to something misaligned with your values is a no to something that truly matters. Genay emphasizes, 'anything that you say yes to is saying no to something else'. For those in recovery, this is particularly crucial as social events can often be triggering.
Throughout the episode, Genay and Susan share practical advice on staying true to oneself, such as playing the tape all the way through and identifying personal motives and values. Whether you're in recovery or simply looking to prioritize your well-being, this conversation offers valuable insights on how to navigate social situations and focus on what truly enriches your life.
