Giving up control, begin a conscious program of surrendering and allow your world and everyone in it to do as they are ordained to do.
Imagine a life where you don't have to control everything to feel at peace. In this episode of the 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast', the hosts dive into Chapter 29 of the Tao Te Ching. Lao Tzu's teachings suggest that our lives are perfect just as they are, but our need to control disrupts this natural flow. The hosts explore the idea of surrender, comparing it to how we manage our feelings during meditation.
They discuss three warning signs that indicate you're trying too hard to control things: extremes, excesses, and complacency. By recognizing these signs, you can start to embrace moderation in all aspects of life. The episode also touches on the pitfalls of striving for perfection and the freedom that comes from letting go of old identities. Instead of trying to take over, observing life peacefully is emphasized.
The hosts encourage listeners to start a conscious practice of surrendering, allowing life and everyone in it to unfold as they naturally should. Through the lens of Taoist philosophy, this episode offers valuable insights into accepting a higher power in your recovery journey.
