The next important piece of the puzzle for me in any decision or change is to focus on where I'm going instead of focusing on the past.
Elizabeth Edwards, host of 'Giving Voice to Recovery', brings a fresh perspective on the journey to sobriety in this insightful episode. She kicks off by reflecting on the common practice of making New Year's resolutions, explaining why simply 'swearing off' bad habits rarely works. Instead, Elizabeth delves into the power of making a genuine decision to change. It's not just about quitting; it's about choosing a new direction and following through with commitment and action.
Elizabeth shares her personal experiences of feeling stuck in repetitive patterns and how making a decisive change helped her break free. She emphasizes that decisions are more than just thoughts—they require action. By taking concrete steps, we can 'act our way into right thinking' and set ourselves on a new path. A key theme in this episode is the importance of trusting your intuition and higher power.
Elizabeth discusses how asking for guidance from your inner voice or spiritual beliefs can help steer your actions and thoughts in a positive direction. As trust in this intuitive voice grows, so does the momentum in your recovery journey. Sharing your past with others is another powerful tool Elizabeth highlights. By opening up about your experiences and forgiving yourself and others, you can accelerate your progress and move forward with a lighter heart.
She encourages listeners to learn from their past but not dwell there, focusing instead on living in the present moment. Elizabeth wraps up with a reminder to enjoy the journey of recovery, whether you're traveling with companions or walking solo with your higher power. This episode is a heartfelt call to embrace change, trust your intuition, and live fully in the present. It's an empowering listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is.
