Balancing Resolutions and Recovery: Finding Meaning Beyond Self-Improvement
I really feel like goals are not bad and self-improvement is not bad, exercise is not bad. Losing weight, all of that stuff is good, but it can become a thorn in your side if it goes into the self-obsession territory where you don't do anything for anybody else.
New Year's resolutions can be a double-edged sword, especially for those on the path to recovery. In this episode of Relevant Recovery Radio, Heather and Donnie Mosher tackle the delicate balance between self-improvement and self-obsession. They share personal stories and insights, shedding light on how setting goals can either support or hinder your journey to sobriety. The hosts emphasize the importance of integrating a higher power and altruism into your resolutions.
It's not just about personal gain; it's about contributing to the well-being of others as well. Heather and Donnie caution against the pitfalls of becoming too self-focused, urging listeners to root their goals in humility and selflessness. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how to make meaningful resolutions that foster genuine growth and happiness, both for yourself and those around you.
