So it all starts with being real with yourself and having that talk to say: listen, yeah, you're not doing what you said you're going to do, and then you're like shit, I need to do what I want to do and then, like you, just do it, guys.
Ever wondered how the way you talk to yourself can shape your journey to recovery?

He dives deep into why being honest with yourself is crucial for overcoming addiction and achieving your goals.

Carel shares practical advice on how to avoid the trap of negative self-talk without sugarcoating the reality of your situation. He suggests having a candid conversation with yourself to pinpoint what’s going wrong and then taking steps to correct it. Building better habits takes time, and rewarding yourself for positive changes is key.
Relapse might be part of the journey, but Carel emphasizes bouncing back and continuing to move forward. Setting goals provides a roadmap and a reason to keep pushing through the tough times. Carel also highlights the importance of self-respect and self-love in recovery. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to harness the power of self-talk to fuel their recovery journey.
