Self-care is definitely part of my routine, although I sometimes get too much of it and not enough of it. So Today and Yesterday were definite self-care days and they're just so important for my recovery and in order for me to stay sober.
Imagine checking into a hotel, not for a vacation, but as a deliberate act of self-care. Elizabeth Smith, host of 'Navigating Recovery and Resilience', shares her candid experiences in this episode, emphasizing the vital role self-care plays in addiction recovery. Battling the blues, Elizabeth chose to prioritize her health by seeking medical attention and indulging in activities that bring her joy.
From attending an AA meeting to working on a photo project, she showcases how these small steps can make a big difference. Her day culminated in a night at the Hyatt Regency in Green Bay, where she enjoyed the hot tub, pool, sauna, and some much-needed alone time with TV and coffee. Sober, of course! This episode isn’t just about pampering; it’s about understanding the importance of self-care in maintaining sobriety.
Elizabeth highlights how self-care activities like exercise, mindfulness, and setting boundaries can promote emotional and physical well-being. She also touches on the challenges individuals in recovery might face, such as feelings of guilt or unworthiness, and the importance of seeking support from loved ones and professionals. Elizabeth’s story is a reminder that self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential. Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips on making self-care a priority.
