I think a healthier soul is one that's more receptive, and an unhealthy soul is one that's more reactive.
Have you ever wondered why some decisions feel so much harder than others, especially when you're in recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill continue their deep dive into the tricky terrain of transitions and decisions. They share candid personal stories that highlight the struggle of making wise choices, especially when emotions run high.
Wes opens up about his past desire to be part of hard-living communities and the challenge of communicating this to his wife. He realized that while the desire itself might have been from God, his approach was all wrong. Austin chimes in, pointing out how being reactive rather than receptive can lead to disastrous outcomes. They stress the importance of taking a moment to think before reacting to life's curveballs. But what does it mean to be truly receptive?
The hosts break it down: it's about being open, curious, and compassionate without necessarily buying into everyone else's issues. It's about listening more and reacting less. They discuss how trust is the cornerstone of being receptive, and how a healthy soul is more capable of trust. They also touch on the science behind behavior change, offering practical tips for balancing your needs with those of others during transitions.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. So if you're looking for heartfelt advice on making better decisions during life's transitions, this episode is a must-listen.
