No matter how much you learn about ways to improve your life, the only way to really make a substantial difference is by practicing and integrating healthy habits into your daily life.
Imagine being tethered to a medication for over 15 years, only to realize that breaking free is not just about quitting but about building a new way of life. That's the journey Cassandra takes us on in this episode of 'Help - I’m Addicted to Adderall!!!'. Diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression during her college years, Cassandra has relied heavily on Adderall. But now, she’s determined to find freedom through mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills.
Cassandra shares her practical approach to integrating healthy habits into daily life. She emphasizes that learning about ways to improve your life isn't enough—you have to practice them. And what better way to start than with mindfulness? In this episode, Cassandra walks listeners through a mindfulness activity, encouraging them to observe without judgment and stay present in the moment. She delves into two foundational DBT skills: 'observe' and 'describe'.
These skills might sound simple, but they are incredibly powerful tools for anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. Cassandra’s guidance makes these concepts accessible and relatable, turning them into practical steps that can be integrated into everyday life. Cassandra’s story is a testament to the power of small, consistent changes. She reminds listeners that the present moment is all we have and that it's okay to feel grief or other strong emotions.
Her empathetic approach makes the episode not just informative but deeply supportive. Whether you're battling addiction or simply looking for ways to improve your mental health, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how mindfulness and DBT skills can help you build a healthier, more balanced life.
