For me, one of the beauties, one of the most beautiful things about step recovery to me- and it's it's a gauge- is like, is that relationship with the higher power first of all, for me, a loving higher power loves me intimately, cares for me very deeply, wants the absolute best for me
What happens when emotions, work addiction, and high sensitivity collide? Sandra H. shares her deeply personal journey on the 'Serenity Is Addictive' podcast, revealing how she navigates these challenges in her recovery. Growing up in a family of thinkers, Sandra learned early on the importance of self-care in every aspect of life, from spirituality to emotional well-being.
She talks about her relationship with her higher power and how the 12 Step acronym 'HALT'—hungry, angry, lonely, tired—helps her manage her emotions effectively. Sandra also dives into the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory, explaining how understanding her high sensitivity has profoundly impacted her life. She emphasizes the importance of identifying emotions and needs, sharing practical tools for practicing vulnerability and self-care.
For instance, she discusses the need for 'windshield wiper fluid' in one's life—a metaphor for keeping clear vision and focus amid emotional turbulence. The episode also tackles societal pressures, particularly on men’s emotional health. Sandra sheds light on how men often don't get their needs met and how emotions are frequently suppressed in our culture. Her reflections encourage listeners to practice vulnerability and emotional intelligence as a way to connect with others and enhance overall well-being.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar issues. Sandra’s candidness offers a fresh perspective on recovery and emotional health, making it a must-listen for those seeking to improve their self-care routines and emotional connections.
