Healing with a Smile: Embracing Joy on Your Recovery Journey

Episode Overview

  • Healing is about achieving peace and fun in life, not just fixing the past
  • Making new memories and rewarding ourselves are vital in the healing journey
  • Having fun helps in breaking negative thought cycles and easing the nervous system
  • Tapping into the inner child and following adult interests are key to enjoying life
  • Listeners are urged to embrace joy, unplug from their trauma, and remember that they deserve all that is good and beautiful
If you're not having fun, somewhere, somehow on this healing journey, you're not actually healing, you're just ruminating.
Ever thought healing could be fun? E.B. Johnson flips the script on traditional recovery in this eye-opening episode of 'Practical Growth'. Usually, we associate healing with hard work and facing our deepest pains. But Johnson challenges this notion, suggesting that joy and fun are crucial parts of the process too. Through her engaging style, she explains how finding happiness now can actually make your healing journey smoother and more effective.
Johnson dives into why it’s essential to let go of the rigid checklists and self-improvement traps that many fall into. Instead, she advocates for making space for joy and living in the present moment. She shares real-life examples from her coaching practice, showing how clients who embraced fun found it easier to heal.
By focusing on creating new memories, breaking negative thought patterns, and rewarding ourselves, Johnson illustrates that peace and happiness aren’t just end goals—they’re part of the journey itself. In this episode, you’ll learn practical ways to inject more joy into your life. Johnson encourages listeners to reconnect with their inner child, pursue adult hobbies, and remember that they deserve to enjoy life despite past traumas.
Her message is clear: fun isn’t a distraction from healing; it’s a vital component of it. So if you’re ready to see the lighter side of recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a refreshing take that might just change how you view your path to wellness.
