In this engaging episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the importance of focus and self-awareness in the journey to recovery. They tackle the modern-day distractions that can negatively impact our mental and spiritual health, such as mindlessly scrolling through social media or spending excessive time on video games. The conversation highlights the power of choice and personal responsibility, emphasising that we have more control over our actions than we might think.
Wes and Austin explore how disciplines like prayer, meditation, and solitude can help slow down our fast-paced lives, allowing us to reflect and build impulse control. This reflection is crucial for anyone struggling with addiction, as it creates a space between impulse and action, helping to prevent relapse. The hosts also discuss the societal shift towards illusion over reality and how this affects our ability to connect with others and ourselves.
By understanding and controlling our impulses, we can improve our focus and make healthier choices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to regain control over their life and find peace amidst the chaos. Tune in to hear practical advice and relatable anecdotes that will inspire you to take charge of your own recovery journey.
