Patience is a virtue, but it's also a muscle you need to work on regularly. In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the significance of patience in the journey to recovery. They share real-life stories, including a heartfelt account of an alumnus who struggled with relapse due to unmet expectations from his family.
This story highlights how the narratives we create in our minds can deeply affect our patience levels and reactions to others. Wes and Austin discuss how impatience can lead to self-sabotage, especially in recovery, where the 'I'll show you, I'll hurt me' mentality can be prevalent. The hosts emphasise that patience isn't something you simply switch on or off.
It's more like a dial that can be turned up or down depending on your mental health and the stories you tell yourself. They touch on the importance of recognising that everyone is a work in progress and that opportunities to practice patience are a part of everyday life. Wes even shares a humorous yet insightful joke about never praying for patience because it might lead to situations where you'll have to practice it.
If you're on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the role of patience. The hosts' blend of Christian spirituality and psychology provides a unique perspective on behaviour change. By tuning in, you'll gain practical advice on how to cultivate patience and understand its impact on your recovery process. So, why should you listen? Because learning to be patient can make all the difference in your recovery journey.
It’s about understanding that growth is continuous and that every day offers new opportunities to become more patient. Ready to flex that patience muscle?
