What you think dictates what you believe. And so what you believe and what you do, how you act, is you go around spending your Days, hours, months, Weeks, trying to behave better, trying to be worthy of their attention, trying to make them see you and just how special you are, just how perfect and wonderful of a relationship you would have with them if they just got sober.
Ever wondered how positive thinking could transform your experience of loving someone with an addiction? In this engaging episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson sheds light on the power of a positive mindset and offers practical tools to help you shift your thinking. Anderson kicks things off by acknowledging the community's support and highlighting the common thread of compassion among its members.
She dives into the concept that 'what you think dictates what you believe', emphasizing the impact of our inner narratives on our actions and emotions. If you're caught in a loop of negative self-talk, Anderson encourages you to challenge those thoughts and replace them with more positive, constructive ones. But she doesn't stop there. Anderson introduces another tool: the use of sensory experiences for emotional healing.
Whether it's baking, taking a soothing bath, or jamming out to your favorite tunes, engaging your senses can help anchor you in the present and foster a sense of joy and empowerment. She shares her personal story of singing with her kids, illustrating how simple sensory activities can uplift your spirit. This episode is a treasure trove of actionable advice for anyone dealing with the emotional roller coaster of loving someone with an addiction.
It's not just about coping; it's about thriving and finding moments of happiness amidst the chaos. Tune in for practical tips on cultivating a positive mindset and nurturing self-compassion.
