We get caught up in the shoulds and Woulds and Coulds instead of just becoming accepting of and able to live in what is okay. ... Give yourself the gift of what you need to get through the holidays without guilt, without feeling selfish.
The holiday season can be a minefield for those grappling with trauma and addiction. In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', host Robert Cox dives into practical strategies to help you navigate this tricky time without falling into relapse. The holidays often come with a barrage of societal expectations and family pressures that can stir up negative emotions and behaviors. But Cox believes it's entirely possible to stay grounded and present, even during the festive chaos.
He shares concrete tips, like the importance of choosing a supportive 'family', whether they are biological or chosen. Many people in recovery haven't experienced healthy relationships, and the holidays can be a chance to build those supportive connections. Cox also underscores the value of mindfulness and self-care practices, such as simple breathing exercises to release tension. Another powerful suggestion is volunteering and helping others, which can uplift your mood and give you a sense of purpose during this season.
If you're looking for compassionate, practical advice to get through the holidays while staying on track with your recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
