"You're not accurately and precisely choosing the next action, even if it's, 'I'm going to sleep'."
In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero tackle the tricky terrain of laziness versus genuine rest during your emotional sobriety journey. Ever found yourself at the top of your game, only to feel like you're running on empty? You're not alone. Dr. Vitz explains that while fatigue is normal, laziness can lead you back to old habits faster than a downhill tumble.
The duo discusses how recognising the difference between needing a break and slipping into complacency is crucial for maintaining progress. They liken it to riding a bike – once you've mastered it, the skill stays with you, but that doesn't mean you should stop pedalling altogether. Dr. Vitz shares that in EMSO training, it’s easy to mistake laziness for recovery. But don’t worry, she’s got tips to help you tell them apart.
Active recovery, she suggests, can be as simple as shifting focus from rigorous training to something more spiritually or physically nurturing. It’s about staying intentional, even if you're taking a breather. The hosts emphasise that resting isn’t about giving up; it’s about making conscious choices that support your growth. If you find yourself craving a soap opera marathon, ask yourself if it’s really what you need or if it’s just an escape from progress.
The key is recognising when you're genuinely tired and when you're just letting your old self sneak back in. This episode encourages reflection on how we approach rest and laziness in our lives. With humour and warmth, Dr. Vitz and Guerrero invite you to ponder – are you truly resting or just avoiding the climb? Tune in for insights that might just keep you on track.
