Michelle believes that reconnecting with joy isn't just a luxury; it's a crucial part of your healing journey. She starts by encouraging listeners to reflect on what used to make them happy, whether it was dancing to their favorite tunes or enjoying a simple walk in the park. The essence of fun, she argues, is still within you, waiting to be rediscovered. Michelle also addresses the anxiety that often comes with trying to reclaim your life outside of addiction.
She suggests 'front-loading' your calendar with activities that might bring joy and help you reconnect with yourself. This isn't about ignoring the problem; it's about finding strength and hope amidst the chaos. Michelle's candid advice and heartfelt encouragement aim to inspire listeners to prioritize their happiness and well-being. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by a loved one's addiction, this episode offers a beacon of light and a reminder that joy can be a powerful tool in your healing arsenal.
