Today I'm going to try to discern between good and bad situations and realize that it's easier to be mean, but it's hard to be kind.
Have you ever felt torn between what your heart wants and what your mind tells you? In this episode of 'The Daily Recovery', host Josh Folkmann-Riley tackles the age-old struggle of balancing emotions and rational thoughts to make better decisions. Titled 'Day 78: Deceived and Divided', Josh delves into the concept of discernment, the ability to distinguish between good and bad situations.
He explains how we often deceive ourselves by chasing conflicting desires and making judgments clouded by emotions like anxiety or excitement. Drawing on Stoic philosophy, Josh describes this inner turmoil as a civil war between the good and bad parts of our soul. To navigate this battle, he urges listeners to pause and reflect on their true intentions. Are you acting out of fear or genuine desire? Are your decisions rooted in kindness or convenience?
By asking these questions, Josh believes we can achieve clarity and make choices that align with our true selves. He emphasizes the importance of being level-headed and taking that extra deep breath to ensure we're on solid ground. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to gain control over their decision-making process and live a more intentional life.
Tune in to 'The Daily Recovery' for a thoughtful exploration of how to win the internal war and make choices that truly benefit you.
