Embracing 'Easy Does It': Serenity Amidst Life's Storms

There's a gentler way of being in the world, of trying things, doing things, going about our business... Doing it well means relaxing and letting the actions unfold gently, naturally without force.
Life can sometimes feel like a whirlwind, and it's easy to get swept up in the chaos. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers introduces us to Melody Beattie's 'Easy Does It' concept, a gentle reminder that finding serenity is possible, even during life's most turbulent moments. Drawing from Beattie's '52 Weeks of Conscious Contact', Moyers takes us through week 18, focusing on how we can navigate recovery with a sense of ease and trust.
He emphasizes that self-care is crucial, especially when times are tough, and that we can't always force things to go our way. Instead, Moyers suggests a balanced approach—putting in effort where it's needed but also knowing when to step back and let things unfold naturally. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about the importance of gratitude and maintaining focus, even when the going gets tough.
Moyers also touches on the role of prayer in finding inner peace, offering practical advice on how to incorporate it into your daily routine. As Beattie wisely notes, 'Doing it well means relaxing and letting the actions unfold gently, naturally without force'. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to find calm amidst the chaos and take life one step at a time. Tune in and discover how to embrace the 'Easy Does It' mindset on your journey to recovery.
