Like I self-medicated to avoid my thoughts, and meditation is asking me to sit with my thoughts, and that is so uncomfortable and really really scary at times.
Ever tried meditating only to find your mind racing more than ever? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into their own love/hate relationship with meditation, especially within the context of addiction recovery. They get real about the difficulties of sitting still with your thoughts and offer practical tips for making meditation a bit more manageable.
From stressing that there’s no 'right' way to meditate to comparing it to showing up for a workout or hobby, Lisa and Tawny make the case for taking the pressure off and just giving it a go. They also chat about how meditation can positively impact mental health and why it’s a key part of self-care.
With shoutouts to Biet Simkin and Steely Dan in their Music Minute, this episode is a blend of honest conversation, relatable struggles, and a touch of rock and roll. Perfect for anyone in recovery looking for a bit of guidance on incorporating mindfulness into their daily routine.
