Finding Inner Peace: Chapter 80 of the Tao Te Ching and Recovery
Getting those solutions that I'm always looking for with life, that already have them getting, that they're coming from within.
Imagine a life where contentment comes from within, not from ticking off an endless bucket list. That's what Lao Tzu describes in Chapter 80 of the Tao Te Ching. In this episode of the 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast', the hosts dive into this ancient wisdom and how it can transform your recovery journey. They talk about how looking inward for satisfaction can be a game-changer, especially in a world that pushes us to seek external validation.
The idea is to simplify life and find joy in the present moment, something that’s easier said than done but incredibly rewarding. The hosts also touch on the paradoxical thinking of Taoist philosophy, which encourages us to appreciate what we have while living harmoniously with nature. This mindset can be a powerful tool in recovery, helping you find peace and contentment even during tough times.
Fear and resentment often hold us back, but by embracing a higher power and turning inward, we can break free from these chains. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery and how to find inner peace, this episode is a must-listen.
