Without vision, people perish. Without...vision, we stumble all over ourselves. We do things we say we don't want to do. We end up in places we say we don't want to go. We say things we didn't want to say. All of those things happen when we lack vision...
Ever felt stuck in a loop of negative self-talk? In this eye-opening episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the concept of aspirational identity statements and their crucial role in recovery. Many people battling addiction often carry around harmful beliefs like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I don't deserve love'. These damaging thoughts can trap them in a cycle of unwanted behaviors, making recovery seem impossible.
Wes and Austin stress the need to develop positive, aspirational identity statements that are both realistic and motivating. Sure, it might feel scary to share these new visions with others, but vulnerability is a key ingredient for growth. Embracing discomfort and being open to feedback can pave the way for real change. The hosts also highlight the importance of hard work and pushing past your limits.
They point out that anyone who excels in any field does so by constantly challenging themselves, and the same goes for recovery. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone and being willing to endure some tough moments for long-term gains. Wes and Austin caution against giving up too soon, emphasizing that resilience is built over time through persistence and effort.
Recovery is a journey, not a sprint, and their conversation serves as a motivational guide for anyone looking to transform their life. Tune in to hear how you can start crafting a vision for a brighter future, one step at a time.
