Turning Annoyances into Positives: The Power of Choice

Episode Overview

  • External events are neutral; your response is what matters.
  • You have the power to choose your attitude towards irritations.
  • Turning negatives into positives can aid in sobriety.
  • Meditation can help shift your mindset.
  • Real-life examples make the concepts relatable.
We do a lot of negative attitude application to events that are neutral.
Ever felt like external events dictate your mood? In 'Urban Meditations (Regret) – Episode 06. Choice', Belle Robertson explores how we respond to life's little annoyances, like a choir practising next door while you're trying to concentrate. Standing in her kitchen, Belle shares her own experience of initially feeling irritated by the choir's off-key rehearsal.
But instead of letting it ruin her day, she chose to see it as a neutral event and even turned it into a positive backdrop for meditation. This episode dives into the power of choice and how changing our attitude towards external events can make sobriety more manageable. Belle's smart-mouth language and real-life examples make this episode relatable and encouraging for anyone on their sober journey.
If you've ever struggled with feeling like you don't have control over your emotions, this episode is a must-listen. You'll learn that while you can't control the choir, you can definitely control how you feel about it.
