When we feel out of control on the inside, we need to clean on the outside. Simplify your life by throwing away things a day for a week. That sounds like a lot, doesn't it? You would be amazed at how much junk you have been storing.
When you're in a relationship with someone battling addiction, it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. One moment they're loving and kind, the next they're distant and angry. But feeling helpless isn't your only option. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson offers five uplifting tips to help you reclaim your sense of power and joy. First up, Michelle suggests cranking up your favorite tunes and having a dance party.
Whether it's classical, pop, or even worship music, just let loose and dance like nobody's watching. Michelle shares how she and her kids have impromptu dance-offs, turning their living room into a mini disco. It's a fantastic way to shake off stress and share some laughs. Next, she recommends treating yourself to some delicious food. Cook something special from your favorite cookbook or order from that restaurant you've been eyeing.
Good food can be a form of self-care, nourishing both your body and soul. Michelle also highlights the importance of taking a few minutes each day for prayer or meditation. Even short moments of mindfulness can work wonders for your mental and spiritual well-being. Another practical tip is to declutter your living space. Simplifying your environment by getting rid of one item a day for a week can bring surprising relief and clarity.
It's amazing how much lighter you can feel without all that extra stuff. Lastly, Michelle stresses the importance of self-care. Loving someone with addiction can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. Joining a supportive community like 'Love Over Addiction' can provide you with the resources and encouragement you need. These five tips are designed to help you find balance and strength in your life, even when things get tough.
Tune in to hear more from Michelle and take the first step towards reclaiming your power.
