The key to being happy is being grateful and accepting and happy with what you have right now, seeing the benefits, seeing the joy in your life currently, even when, like you, have a day planned- and maybe it doesn't go the way you want- but to find what the good things are in That Day.
Ever feel like everyone else has it all together while you're just trying to keep your head above water? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat tackle the insidious habit of comparing ourselves to others and how it can derail recovery. They dive into why we constantly measure ourselves against others, often coming up short, and how this impacts our mental health and sobriety.
The duo also discusses how social media can distort reality, making us feel even worse about our own lives. Mike and Nat share personal stories and practical tips on how to maintain self-worth amidst the noise. From embracing gratitude to fostering genuine connections, they offer a roadmap for anyone struggling with feelings of inadequacy. Plus, they catch up on life updates and read listener emails, adding a personal touch to this heartfelt episode.
If you're tired of feeling less-than and want to learn how to navigate the pitfalls of comparison, this episode is a must-listen.
