Ever wondered why self-control is such a tough nut to crack? In this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the complexities of self-control, especially in the context of addiction and relational health. They break down how self-control, or the lack thereof, can affect our daily lives, from overindulging in food to losing our temper in traffic.
Wes and Austin share personal anecdotes and reflections on how focusing on what we can control—ourselves—can lead to healthier, more fulfilling lives. The episode also explores the idea that much of our frustration comes from trying to control things outside our sphere of influence. Whether it's other people's actions or unpredictable life events, trying to manage these can be exhausting and often futile.
Instead, they advocate for a shift in focus towards self-mastery, which can lead to genuine freedom and peace of mind. One particularly interesting segment discusses how aligning our beliefs with our behaviours is crucial for self-control. If you believe in living a healthy lifestyle but find yourself eating a whole pizza, there's a disconnect that needs addressing. The hosts also touch on practical steps like making your bed every day as a simple yet effective exercise in self-discipline.
Wes and Austin bring in elements of Christian spirituality, discussing how self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit and a marker of a faithful life. They stress that while mastering self-control is challenging, it's foundational for a healthy and fulfilling life. Feeling overwhelmed by life's chaos? This episode offers practical advice and spiritual insights to help you regain control over your actions and, ultimately, your life.
