Refusing to take on more pain than we can handle is not cold, it's not self-indulgent, it's practical, it's necessary for making the kind of dent in the world that we were born to make.
When the world turned upside down during the lockdown, many of us struggled to find our footing. Chris Scott, co-host of Elevation Recovery and founder of Fit Recovery and Opiate Addiction Support, offers a lifeline in this episode. With six years of sobriety under his belt, Scott shares his personal strategies for not just surviving but thriving during these challenging times.
From biochemical optimization to maintaining social connections, his tips are practical and rooted in his own journey of overcoming addiction. Scott dives into the importance of biochemical optimization for mental health, particularly for those battling anxiety or depression during the pandemic. He shares his daily supplement regimen, including Biorebalance, CoQ10, and quercetin, which he believes can make a significant difference in mental well-being. But it’s not all about supplements; Scott emphasizes the power of a structured daily routine.
Even a basic schedule can provide much-needed stability and purpose when everything else feels chaotic. Staying connected is another crucial aspect Scott highlights. Whether it’s scheduling virtual hangouts or finding creative ways to spend time with family and friends at home, maintaining social bonds is essential for mental health. His advice is particularly poignant for those in recovery, who might feel isolated and overwhelmed by guilt or shame.
Scott’s message is clear: focus on what you can control and build a life that can withstand challenges. One of the standout moments in the episode is when Scott says, "Refusing to take on more pain than we can handle is not cold, it's not self-indulgent, it's practical." This perspective is especially relevant for those struggling with addiction or mental health issues, reminding us that self-compassion is key to resilience.
Whether you're navigating recovery or simply trying to cope with lockdown life, Scott's insights offer actionable strategies to help you stay motivated and well. Tune in to this episode of Elevation Recovery for a dose of inspiration and practical advice.
