And recently just noticing that, like me, continuing to interact with someone and also have disdain for them is not kindness, which again, all of these things sort of seem very obvious, but like the sort of subtlety of noticing what I'm doing when I'm so obsessed with the way that someone else is harming me, it's really easy to ignore my own part in something because I'm so wrapped up in these other thoughts, and that hasn't been helpful for my sanity and it hasn't been helpful for just becoming the best version of myself.
Ever felt like your thoughts are stuck on a loop, constantly circling around the same worries or desires? In this episode of 'Cross Talk', hosts Corey and Claire welcome Aaron to unpack the thorny issue of obsession. Aaron opens up about his own struggles with obsessive thinking, shedding light on how it can sneak back into our lives even when we think we've got it under control.
From relationships to material possessions, obsession can latch onto anything, disrupting our mental peace and stalling our recovery journey. But don't worry, this episode isn't all doom and gloom. Aaron, Corey, and Claire dive deep into practical solutions that can help manage these obsessive thoughts. They chat about the power of self-care, the importance of seeking support, and the need to find balance in life.
One standout moment is their discussion on accepting the present moment and trusting in a higher power. Aaron emphasizes that obsession often stems from a fear of not being good enough or not having enough. By recognizing this fear and practicing self-compassion, you can start to break free from the grip of obsession. He also talks about the importance of taking personal responsibility for your happiness, rather than blaming others for your discontent.
This honest self-reflection is key to moving beyond obsession and finding true freedom in recovery. If you're looking for heartfelt conversations and actionable advice on overcoming obsession, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to 'Cross Talk' and discover how to live a bigger, better life without the chains of obsessive thinking.
