Towards Recovery - Day 6: Embrace Softness and Self-Compassion

The invitation Today is to begin to soften. What could it mean for you Today to bring your awareness to the act of softening?
Have you ever felt like you're constantly pushing yourself to the limit, only to end up feeling burnt out and unmotivated? In this episode of 'Towards Recovery', titled 'Give Yourself a Break', the focus is on learning the art of softening and self-compassion. The host, Huseyin Djemil, starts by encouraging listeners to acknowledge their effort in showing up and being open to new possibilities.
He shares a personal story about how adopting a 'no pain, no gain' mentality in running led to burnout and a loss of enthusiasm. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how rigid coping mechanisms can take a toll on our well-being. The episode's central theme is the concept of 'softening'—working smarter, not harder, and treating oneself as a friend.
Huseyin invites listeners to practice softening in both good and challenging times, emphasizing that this approach can lead to greater benefits than constantly pushing oneself. The episode concludes with a gentle call-to-action: take a deep breath and let it work its magic. 'Give Yourself a Break' offers practical and heartfelt advice for anyone on the journey of addiction recovery, making it a must-listen for those seeking to cultivate self-care and compassion.
