Listen to the whisper before it becomes a scream. I think of that often, especially when, you know, like with the cough, with any physical stuff or any, I can feel when my anxiety becomes visceral. Like when I cannot breathe, I know that, okay, you need to slow down.
Have you ever found yourself neglecting your physical health, even though you know it’s crucial for your mental well-being? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into this very topic, sharing their own struggles and triumphs. Tawny recounts a recent bout with bronchitis that reminded her of the importance of using her asthma inhaler, a simple step she had overlooked.
Meanwhile, Lisa opens up about her ongoing battle with back pain and the challenge of sticking to her physical therapy exercises. Their candid conversation sheds light on the often-overlooked connection between physical health and mental well-being, especially in the context of recovery. They emphasize that taking care of your body is not just about avoiding illness; it’s about supporting your overall recovery journey.
The episode is filled with relatable anecdotes and practical advice, encouraging listeners to take those small but significant steps towards better health. Whether it’s making that overdue dentist appointment or finally following through on medical advice, Lisa and Tawny remind us all that proactive self-care is a cornerstone of a balanced life. And as always, they sprinkle in some rock and roll vibes with their Music Minute, featuring tunes from Bruce Springsteen, The Black Keys, and The Beatles.
Tune in for an episode that’s as informative as it is inspiring, offering a heartfelt reminder that your body deserves just as much attention as your mind.
