When we ask a better question, we get a better answer.
Feeling stuck and powerless is a common struggle, especially during tough times. In this episode of 'Giving Voice to Recovery', singer-songwriter Elizabeth Edwards opens up about her journey from a state of 'learned helplessness' to one of empowerment through recovery. Before sobriety, Elizabeth often felt like life was happening to her, leaving her feeling defeated and in despair. But she discovered a powerful tool that changed everything: asking better questions.
Inspired by Tony Robbins, Elizabeth learned that the questions we ask ourselves shape our reality. For instance, instead of asking 'Why does this always happen to me?', she now asks 'What can I learn from this?'. This shift in perspective has been crucial in her recovery, helping her break free from negative thinking patterns. Elizabeth shares practical advice on how to implement this technique, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, patience, and taking action.
She also highlights the value of open-mindedness and understanding different perspectives, even those we might disagree with. By sharing her experiences, Elizabeth hopes to inspire others to challenge their own limiting beliefs and find hope in their recovery journey. Tune in to hear her insightful tips and stories that could help you or a loved one overcome feelings of helplessness and move towards a brighter, sober future.
