Learning to be gentle with ourselves is a big step forward in feeling a sense of inner peace.
Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of a pandemic? You're not alone. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers sits down with Barbara Theodosiou to discuss how we can be kinder to ourselves during these uncertain times. Barbara, the author of 'Living Without Shame: A Support Book for Mothers with Addicted Children', brings practical advice through two insightful exercises from her guided journal.
While her book is tailored for mothers, the exercises are valuable for anyone feeling the weight of the world right now. The first exercise, 'Sorry Self', invites you to apologize to yourself for being overly critical or neglectful. It's about recognizing your own worth and forgiving yourself. The second exercise, 'Quitting is OK', encourages you to let go of unnecessary commitments, making room for what truly matters.
Together, these exercises aim to foster self-compassion and inner peace, especially when supporting loved ones struggling with addiction. William and Barbara's conversation is a gentle reminder that taking care of ourselves is not just important—it's essential.
