In this episode of 'Powerless to Powerful', Mark Mascolo dives into the intriguing concept of recovery 'modes'. He poses the thought-provoking question: What mode is your recovery in? Mark introduces the Hierarchy of Modes from The Power Number System, which outlines five distinct modes: desperation, critical, survival, thrive, and impact. Each mode reflects a different stage of recovery and life, offering a clear framework for understanding where you stand and where you want to go.
Mark’s engaging style and practical advice make complex ideas accessible. He explains that actions, or the lack thereof, define these modes and emphasises the importance of recognising cause and effect in recovery. By taking positive actions consistently, you can transition from merely surviving to thriving and eventually making an impact. With over 25 years of experience in recovery, Mark shares his journey from desperation to impact mode.
He highlights the importance of taking ownership of your recovery and creating a personalised action plan. The Power Number Assessment tool he developed helps men evaluate their progress across eight key areas: personal growth, relationships, finances, physical health, mental clarity, nutrition, recreation, and spiritual connection. Mark’s candid reflections and practical tips offer a roadmap for those seeking long-term recovery.
His message is clear: don't just aim to stay sober; strive to transform your life and find purpose in your recovery journey. So, if you're ready to take control and move through the modes towards a more powerful life, this episode is a must-listen. Why not ask yourself: What mode is your recovery in today?
