When we choose to be awake and present in the actual moments of our daily lives, we begin to grow in unexpected ways.
When life gets tough, it’s tempting to escape our emotions by any means necessary. Whether it’s through substance use or other distractions, numbing out feels like an easy fix. But what if there’s a better way? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', brought to you by Hazelden Publishing, host William Moyers chats with author Beverly Conyers about the life-changing power of mindfulness. With the backdrop of a global pandemic, the conversation couldn't be more timely.
Beverly shares how mindfulness can ground us in the present moment, helping us to face our fears and anxieties head-on instead of running from them. She contrasts mindfulness with addiction, revealing how being present can lead to a more meaningful and contented life. This episode is packed with practical tips for anyone looking to incorporate mindfulness into their daily routine. Whether you're new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, you'll find valuable insights here.
Moyers reminds us that self-care is more critical now than ever. So take a break, tune in, and discover how mindfulness can support your recovery journey.
