Deep and fulfilling happiness comes from changing inside circumstances, which is all about changing how you think about yourself and your life.
Can happiness be cultivated, especially in the midst of recovery? In this episode of 'Addiction and the Family', hosts Casey and Kira Arrillaga explore this intriguing question by diving into the principles of positive psychology. They introduce listeners to the PERMA model, which stands for Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Through practical exercises, they show how these elements can foster joy and resilience during recovery.
The episode highlights the importance of recognizing personal strengths and using them to navigate life's challenges. Casey and Kira also delve into the power of gratitude journaling and mindfulness, tools that can help anchor individuals in the present moment and reduce stress. They emphasize that while gratitude won't magically solve addiction, it can bring a sense of peace and acceptance.
This episode is a treasure trove of actionable advice for anyone on the recovery journey or supporting a loved one through it.
