With mindfulness, because you're learning how to pay attention in the current moment, without judgment, without trying to push it away, but also not going with it, but just being curious about what's there, you're able to start to see the beginning stages of the craving as it builds.
Imagine finding a tool that helps you stay present and manage cravings during recovery. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Zev Schuman-Olivier about the transformative power of mindfulness in addiction treatment. Dr. Schuman-Olivier breaks down what mindfulness truly means – paying attention to the present moment without judgment – and how it can be a game-changer for those battling addiction.
He debunks the myth that mindfulness is just for relaxation or only useful at certain stages of recovery. Instead, he emphasizes its universal benefits, helping individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, which is crucial for recognizing and managing cravings. Dr. Schuman-Olivier also touches on the role of mindfulness in quitting smoking and its potential advantages for people with anxiety disorders.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on how mindfulness can support anyone on their journey to recovery, making it a must-listen for those seeking practical, compassionate strategies.
