In this episode of 'Powerless To Powerful', Mark Mascolo dives into the power of self-identity and how the language we use about ourselves shapes our recovery journey. Mark passionately discusses the importance of moving away from traditional recovery messages that focus on character defects and powerlessness. Instead, he advocates for recognising and developing one's strengths.
Drawing from his own 25 years of successful long-term recovery, Mark shares valuable insights on how identifying as powerful rather than powerless can transform your recovery process. Mark highlights the role of the conscious, subconscious, and intuitive mind in shaping our beliefs and habits. He explains how our subconscious mind works in loops, creating habits that can turn into addictions. By changing the narrative we tell ourselves, we can reroute these loops and break free from negative patterns.
Mark also introduces 'The Powerless To Powerful Guide To A Man's Character Strengths', a free resource designed to help men discover their core strengths and spend less time struggling with their perceived defects. He encourages an open mind, emphasising that character defects are merely undeveloped strengths. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to shift their perspective on recovery and embrace a more empowering approach.
Mark's blend of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and motivational insights make for an engaging and inspiring listen. So, are you ready to redefine your recovery journey and see what's right with you? Tune in to find out.
