Doing things that you love, that bring you joy, that light you up, that make you feel good, is so important in this journey, because for me, that's what not drinking is all about.
As the seasons change, Gayle Macdonald, host of the 'Sober Bliss' podcast, takes a moment to reflect on the profound role self-care plays in the journey to sobriety. In this episode, Gayle explores why we often resist doing things that bring us joy and how this resistance is closely tied to our drinking habits.
She questions why we only feel deserving of extra rest or a peaceful walk when we're unwell or making a special effort, and how shifting this mindset can support a healthier, alcohol-free life. Gayle shares her personal experiences and offers practical tips on overcoming common obstacles to self-care, such as feelings of guilt or lack of time.
She emphasizes the importance of giving ourselves permission to enjoy simple pleasures and highlights how these small acts of kindness towards ourselves can significantly enhance our overall well-being and happiness. This episode is a gentle reminder that prioritizing self-care is not just about quitting alcohol but about embracing a more fulfilling life. Gayle's reflections are both insightful and encouraging, making this a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety.
So, why not take a moment for yourself today and tune in to discover how self-care can transform your journey?
