Finding Peace During the Holidays: Tips from Sherry Gaugler-Stewart
“Rather than acting out on that emotional response, take a moment to pause, take a deep breath, maybe say a prayer and look at what's underlying this emotion, what's that message that's coming up, what's the thing that is really at play here?”
The holiday season often brings a mix of joy and stress, especially for those on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Sherry Gaugler-Stewart, Family and Spiritual Development Coordinator at The Retreat Family Program in Wayzata, Minnesota. Sherry offers practical advice on how to navigate the emotional minefield that holidays can sometimes be.
Whether you're spending the season alone, with friends, or with family, Sherry's insights into emotional and spiritual preparation are invaluable. She shares recovery tools that can help you maintain your serenity, even when old family dynamics resurface or the pressure for a 'perfect' holiday mounts. If you're looking for ways to stay grounded and peaceful during this festive time, this episode is a must-listen.
