Ever felt like your life is a bit of a circus and you're the juggling act? This episode of Relational Recovery dives into the concept of self-control, a skill that can transform chaos into calm. Hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill chat about the importance of focusing on what you can control, like your email or your car, rather than trying to fix the whole world.
It's not about being self-centred; it's about creating a steady presence for those around you. They share how self-control can lead to personal freedom and purpose, making it easier to focus on what truly matters. The discussion includes reflections on how healthy habits can be challenging to form but ultimately lead to a more fulfilling life. With a blend of Christian spirituality and psychology, the podcast aims to equip listeners with the tools to tackle unwanted behaviours and embrace recovery.
If you've ever found yourself exhausted from trying to help everyone else while neglecting your own needs, this episode is for you. Wes and Austin advocate for starting small, focusing on manageable tasks within your control, and building from there. They emphasise that it's not selfish to want to be healthy—it's essential for being able to support others effectively.
Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or looking for ways to maintain your progress, this episode offers practical advice and encouragement. It's a reminder that while change is hard, it's also rewarding. Dive in and explore how self-control can be the cornerstone of a healthier, more balanced life.
