The holidays can be stressful, so why not make your most recent anniversary coin a sober person's version of a stress ball?
As the holiday season approaches, Nelson H. is here to help you navigate the festivities without losing your sobriety or sanity. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson shares six practical tips to keep your spirits high and your stress levels low. Known for his unique blend of humor and heartfelt advice, Nelson dives into strategies that go beyond the usual suggestions like attending meetings or meditating. First up, Nelson talks about 'weaponizing prayer'.
He explains how he turns to prayer not just for solace but as a powerful tool to recharge his spiritual batteries, especially when life's challenges start to drain him. Next, he suggests engaging in daily acts of service. Whether it's tipping someone who usually doesn’t get tips or helping a neighbor, these small gestures can make a big difference in how you feel. Nelson also emphasizes the importance of accountability.
He recommends writing down specific goals for the holiday season and sharing them with a sober friend. This not only keeps you on track but also builds a support system around you. Another tip is to schedule a 'sober halftime' during family gatherings. Taking a break can help you stay grounded and avoid getting overwhelmed. Monitoring your 'sober savings account' is another clever idea Nelson shares.
It's about being mindful of how much emotional energy you're investing in other people's problems. Lastly, he encourages celebrating your sobriety milestones. Carrying your most recent anniversary coin can serve as a tangible reminder of how far you've come and act as a stress-reliever in tense moments. Nelson's tips are designed to help you enjoy the holidays without compromising your hard-earned sobriety.
With his relatable stories and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make it through the season with their sense of humor intact.
