I find what I might have viewed as a disaster is really insignificant. As I am a naturally impulsive person and have always did things fast, any fear I have makes me say something I regret later or take action too soon, as I don't give myself enough time to write and meditate and breathe.
Ever find yourself acting before you think, especially when anxiety strikes? This episode of The Recovery Show dives into this all-too-common struggle. Inspired by a listener's question, the hosts tackle the challenge of not reacting impulsively to initial thoughts or feelings. They share practical slogans and techniques that can help you pause, reflect, and make more mindful decisions. It's about recognizing those moments of impulsiveness, understanding their roots, and learning to forgive yourself if you slip up.
The conversation also touches on the broader impact of recovery values in various aspects of life, including how to approach discussions about recovery with young children. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers valuable insights to help you stay serene and collected, even in the face of anxiety.
