Making assumptions about how others feel- but it's not my fucking business and I and I won't do it.
Recovery is a journey full of ups and downs, and sometimes, dealing with negativity can be one of the toughest challenges. In this episode of 'Redeem Yourself', Jarrod and his friends open up about the reality of life in recovery and share practical advice on how to handle negative interactions. They tackle the misconception that those in recovery are perfect and instead highlight the importance of being kind to yourself when faced with criticism or negativity.
One key takeaway from their discussion is the need for personal accountability. Jarrod emphasizes, 'Make a checklist, if you check those boxes, then what's the next step?' This approach helps in managing your own emotions and preparing for unexpected situations. The group also stresses the significance of self-care and knowing when to let go of things that aren't beneficial to your well-being. 'I don't have to entertain certain things,' Jarrod notes, underscoring the importance of setting boundaries.
Another insightful point is about not making assumptions about others' feelings. One member candidly shares, 'Making assumptions about how others feel- but it's not my business and I won't do it.' This perspective can be liberating, allowing you to focus on your own recovery journey without getting bogged down by others' negativity. This episode is a goldmine of practical tips and heartfelt advice for anyone navigating the complexities of recovery.
From creating positive habits to managing emotions and knowing when to let go, Jarrod and his friends offer a supportive space where you can find both understanding and actionable strategies. Tune in to learn how to better handle negativity and build a more resilient life in recovery.
