Quieting the Mind: The Power of the God Box in Recovery

Those tools and techniques and strategies that worked for us in early recovery still work for us in long term recovery.
Margaret Swift Thompson brings another insightful solo episode to 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast'. This time, she dives into one of her favorite recovery tools: the God Box. Ever heard of it? It's a simple yet powerful method where you write down your worries, fears, and doubts, and place them in a box. The idea is to symbolically hand over these burdens to a higher power, whether you call it God, the Universe, or something else entirely.
Margaret reminisces about her early days in 1997 at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, where she first encountered this technique. She shares a heartwarming story about a client who crafted a beautiful God Box for their own recovery journey. But it doesn't stop there. Margaret also introduces the Universe Box and Creator Box, variations that can be tailored to fit your beliefs and needs. Alongside these tools, she emphasizes the importance of journaling and self-care in maintaining mental health.
This episode is a gentle reminder to take life one day at a time and prioritize your well-being. If you're looking for practical strategies to quiet your mind and find peace, this episode is a must-listen.
