The idea is, to me, the stoics have the shortest version of the serenity prayer, and it's basically: you don't control anything except for your own thoughts.
Imagine facing challenges in your marriage that push you to the brink. That's exactly what happened to Brian Lutz and Thom Rutledge. In this episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', they open up about their personal journeys through tough times, focusing on the concept of true acceptance. It's not just about accepting your partner's medical issues or your own flaws; it's about embracing those uncomfortable feelings that we often run from.
By doing so, they've found a way to anchor themselves emotionally, despite life's constant changes. Thom and Allen Berger discuss how this acceptance helps in finding an emotional center of gravity within oneself rather than relying on external circumstances. They dive into topics like anxiety, control in relationships, and the wisdom voice that guides us through procrastination. The conversation is rich with insights on living in the present moment and the practical steps you can take to achieve emotional sobriety.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just looking to understand your emotions better, this episode offers valuable tools and perspectives. As Thom puts it, 'the stoics have the shortest version of the serenity prayer, and it's basically: you don't control anything except for your own thoughts'. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of emotional sobriety and learn how true acceptance can transform your life.
