BGS Shorts - Mindfulness


Listen Later

In this Broke Girl Society Short, host Christina Cook offers a calming reminder about the power of mindfulness in gambling recovery. Inspired by the quote from Sharon Salzberg, “Mindfulness isn’t difficult. We just need to remember to do it,” this brief reflection helps bring you back to the present when your thoughts feel overwhelming.

Recovery can stir up racing thoughts, urges, regrets, and fears—but mindfulness grounds us. And it doesn’t require perfection. You don’t need silence or a mountaintop—just a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself.

Whether you’re navigating a tough day or just need a reset, this short episode invites you to return to your breath, feel your feet on the ground, and remember: you’re here, you’re healing—and for today, that’s enough.

Mindfulness doesn’t have to be big or perfect—it just has to be intentional.

**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience. This recording should not be used as a replacement for professional help but as encouragement in your recovery journey.
