Avoiding expectations and choosing our family wisely are only two of the suggestions I make this week. In this episode I suggest some concrete things we need to be doing to get through the holidays without relapse.
The holiday season can be a real test for anyone dealing with trauma and addiction. Robert Cox, the host of 'Mindful Recovery', understands this struggle all too well. In this episode, he dives into practical ways to stay mindful and avoid relapse during the festive period. He reminds us that the picture-perfect family scenes splashed across media can be misleading and that we have the power to choose our own support network.
Surrounding yourself with people who truly care about your recovery is key. Robert also tackles the heavy burden of expectations that often come with holidays. He offers actionable tips to manage these pressures and keep anxiety at bay. One of his standout suggestions is to get out of your own head by being of service to others. This simple act can help you reconnect with your sense of purpose and value, making the season more meaningful.
The episode goes beyond just mindfulness tips. Robert discusses how neuroscience backs up these practices, showing how focused breathing and self-reflection can literally rewire your brain to handle stress better. Whether you're in recovery or just looking for ways to stay grounded during the holidays, this episode has something valuable for you. Tune in to 'Mindful Recovery' and arm yourself with the tools you need to navigate the holiday season with grace and resilience.
