Balancing Short-Term Wins with Long-Term Success in Recovery
Short-term gain, long-term loss is just simply unsustainable. What we want to be able to do is to engage in behaviors that give us short-term gain and long-term gain.
Imagine doing something that feels great now but leaves you feeling worse later. That's the cycle Tommy Rosen tackles in this episode of Recovery 2.0. Instead of chasing short-term highs that lead to long-term lows, Tommy guides listeners toward activities that offer both immediate and lasting benefits. Think yoga, meditation, or even a good book. These practices don't just make you feel good now; they set you up for a healthier future.
Tommy’s approach is simple yet profound: when you're tempted to escape discomfort through harmful habits, pause and choose a healthier path. His advice isn't just about avoiding pitfalls; it's about actively creating a life where short-term joy and long-term well-being go hand in hand. Whether you're new to recovery or looking to deepen your practice, Tommy's insights provide a roadmap to sustainable happiness.
