Choices, as I said, involves decisions. I can gather all the information I want before I make this choice, and I can still make a wrong choice, or a choice that I view later on is wrong.
Choices can be tough, especially when you're on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'Live Rite Tonight', Brenda Maks dives into the tricky terrain of decision-making and its impact on addiction recovery. Ever found yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place? Brenda gets it. She breaks down why making choices can feel like climbing a mountain and why it's okay if some of those choices don't turn out as planned. It's all part of the journey.
Brenda shares her thoughts on how fear often complicates our decisions. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, and even fear of making the wrong choice can be paralyzing. But she doesn't leave you hanging. Brenda offers practical tips on moving past these fears, suggesting that trusting your gut and practicing mindfulness can make a world of difference. Mindfulness isn't just a buzzword here; it's a tool.
Brenda explains how being present and aware can help you make better choices, even when life feels like it's moving at breakneck speed. She also highlights the importance of seeking support and resources, reminding listeners that they don't have to navigate these waters alone. Whether you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on decision-making. Brenda's insights are not just about making the 'right' choice but about learning from every choice you make.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that might just change how you view your next big decision.
