Rewiring Your Mind: Jesse Mogle on Shifting Perspectives in Recovery
We don't truly have the ability to choose. We are actually slaves to or addicted to the dictates of the past, of our conditioning.
Ever feel like your mind is a chaotic mess, jumping from one thought to another like a monkey swinging through trees? Jesse Mogle gets it. In this episode of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse dives into the idea of 'untraining' your mind to better navigate the path from sobriety to active recovery. He highlights how our minds are often cluttered with recycled thoughts—many of which stem from emotional environments that weren't exactly nurturing.
If you were raised around people who didn't quite 'get' emotional intelligence, you're not alone. This episode is for anyone looking to break free from those old mental patterns. Jesse uses relatable analogies and his own experiences to show how the words we use towards ourselves can shape our recovery journey. Are you calling yourself an 'addict' or an 'alcoholic'? Or are you someone who's actively working on becoming a better version of yourself?
The language you use matters more than you might think. Jesse also touches on the role of past traumas and how they influence our present behaviors. Self-awareness and mindfulness are key themes here, offering practical tips on how to reprogram your thoughts for better outcomes. So, if you're looking to shift your perspective and untrain that wild mind of yours, this episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt insights.
It's not just about stopping the drink; it's about creating a life that feels worth living. Tune in for a candid, enlightening conversation that could very well change the way you think about recovery.
