If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of resentment, this episode of 'Sober on Purpose' might just be the lifeline you need. Jerry and Tanya, a couple who have navigated the stormy seas of addiction and come out stronger, tackle the thorny issue of resentment. They explore how these feelings can become part of your identity and why it's crucial to work through them.
With anecdotes about friends held back by past grievances, they reveal how resentment can sneakily shape your choices and self-perception. The hosts discuss practical tools for breaking free from these chains. Listening to your inner dialogue is one key step – recognising when you're repeating negative beliefs influenced by others. Tanya and Jerry suggest seeking feedback from trusted friends or mentors to identify these patterns.
Journaling also makes an appearance as a helpful tool, allowing you to reflect on your stories and the resentments embedded within them. There's a humorous moment when Tanya mentions the importance of not renting space in your mind to negative events, like a speeding ticket or a frustrating DMV visit. It's all about recognising these resentments and choosing to let them go.
Jerry brings a unique perspective with his analogy of tracking animals in the woods, comparing it to identifying emotional baggage. Just as you learn to spot tracks over time, you can become adept at recognising resentments that have been lurking in your life. So why should you listen? This episode offers relatable stories, practical advice, and a sprinkle of humour to help you confront and release those justified resentments holding you back.
It's not just about sobriety – it's about freeing yourself from past hurts and moving forward with compassion and self-awareness.
