Ever wondered if your journey to recovery is on the right track? In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into some tough questions about health, stress, and triggers. They chat about how you handle stress and whether you’re truly taking care of yourself or just putting on a brave face. Are you finding happiness for yourself, or are you also considering others?
These questions might seem simple, but they can reveal a lot about where you are in your recovery journey. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss 'spiritual bypassing' - using faith as an excuse to avoid dealing with real issues. It's a common trap, but one that can seriously hinder your progress. Wes and Austin don't shy away from calling it out and emphasising the importance of honesty in your recovery process.
They also touch on the importance of being a peacemaker rather than a chaos bringer. Reflecting on your interactions can help you see if you’re spreading peace or causing disruption. The best gift you can give others is your own health. By working on yourself first, you can be a positive force in the lives of those around you. If you're looking for some practical advice mixed with heartfelt honesty, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s all about doing the hard work on yourself so you can show up better for others.
