When we encounter challenges or difficulties, it's common to dwell on them and talk about them with others, often allowing them to consume our thoughts. However, in Soul Recovery, we're taught that relying on others to make us happy means giving up our own control and power. Our thoughts have great influence, attracting both positive and negative experiences. To shift our focus towards what we truly desire in our lives and relationships, we can utilize the tools and principles of Soul Recovery to become more mindful of our mindset and choose to spend more time thinking about what's working well and what we want to manifest.

By focusing on our intentions in Soul Recovery, we can release ourselves from the burden of unrealistic expectations we often place on ourselves and others, which can lead to disappointment and upset. Often, we may not even realize that our expectations and attachment to specific outcomes hinder our relationships and life experiences. By cultivating awareness and shifting our perspective on our needs and desires, and by connecting with our emotions, we can build stronger connections with others and cultivate self-compassion. This approach allows us to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others and experience greater empathy and compassion in our daily lives.

Being a human being can be a challenging experience. From a young age, we are conditioned to believe that we are unable to handle difficult emotions and situations, and that we should seek ways to escape or avoid discomfort. We are also taught that we are lacking in some way or unlovable, which can lead to negative self-talk and self-destructive behavior.

As a result of these early teachings, it's no surprise that many of us turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms and addictions to fill the void in our hearts. However, in the journey of Soul Recovery, we are encouraged to challenge these limiting beliefs and rediscover our innate wholeness. Through deep healing and self-exploration, we can break free from destructive patterns and behaviors, and cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Sometimes, we may find our lives overwhelming because we give others the power to control our emotions, and sometimes we may even struggle to identify our own feelings. However, our feelings offer insights into what we need to prioritize, such as nurturing what's causing us pain or pursuing activities that bring us joy. By reclaiming our power and refusing to allow others to dictate our emotions, we can start caring about how we feel and move towards a happy and healthy life…embracing Soul Recovery.
In this episode I mention the feelings and emotions from Atlas of the Heart from Berne Brown and also mention that I listen to/watch Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction.  Check out the links for more on both.

I was inspired by a question from Al-Anon's  workbook 'Reaching for Personal Freedom' in the chapter for Step One that read "What keeps me holding onto the illusion that I have the power to change someone else?"
Seeing that it is only an illusion that we can change others is a crucial step in achieving personal freedom and growth. It is natural to want to help those we care about and to try to change their behaviors or situations that we see as harmful or negative. However, the truth is that we cannot control others, and trying to do so can lead to frustration, disappointment, and even resentment.
By recognizing our powerlessness over others, we can focus our energy on changing ourselves and our reactions to the people and circumstances in our lives. This shift in focus allows us to take responsibility for our own well-being and to develop the tools we need to navigate challenging situations and relationships in a healthier way.
It takes courage and humility to acknowledge our powerlessness, but doing so is a critical step in our personal and spiritual growth. When we let go of the illusion of control and accept what we cannot change, we create space for growth, healing, and transformation in our own lives.... Soul Recovery.

You know it is time for Soul Recovery but you may ask if you need to leave your relationship, job.... (insert the blank here) so that I can finally heal.  It is easy to think that if we just got away from what was complex in our lives it would be all better and we could finally heal. However, that doesn't always need to be the case, and sometimes it may benefit us to stay in uncomfortable (not unsafe) situations and do our inner work.  By doing our Soul Recovery and allowing for growth and healing before making big changes we are better able to have clarity about what changes do need to be made allowing us to not be running from our problems- but learning and growing from them and then making choices that are from our strength and not from our pain.   Together we can do the work that will recover your soul.

For this episode, I want to talk about the two paths that are available to us to walk in our life at any moment, we may think that we can stand still, but really we know there is no standing still, there is always movement, one direction or the other direction. One Direction is love, and the other direction is fear. Once we recognize this truth we can take responsibility for our happiness and our Soul Recovery journey... and choose love.

This extra episode is from the end of Season 3 from the Friday Bonus episodes for Apple Podcast subscribers and Patreon Members.  In this episode I will be reading from 'How Al-Anon works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics' I am reading from chapter 6 - The Family Disease of Alcoholism and the section 'The Part we Play'  and reflecting on my own life and how this can be used for your Soul Recovery. 

Statistics show that almost half of the population are negatively affected by the drug and alcohol addiction of a family member or friend- I think that number is much higher if we broaden to all addictions, abuse, neglect and dysfunction.  Being human is not easy, however if we choose to turn the attention to ourselves and our own Soul Recovery journey we can find peace- even in the midst of chaos and dysfunction.  As I read from this chapter, we can see how we have been caught up in the chaos of someone else and how we have the opportunity to

There was a post in the Recover Your Soul Community Facebook  group that stood out to me because it was a huge part of my pain from the past and what I used to ruminate over and I wanted to share my process of healing around it.

The post read "Does anyone else have a running obsession in their head of conversations they'd like to have with someone in their lives? Seems like I spend way too much time ruminating about perceived grievances and what I'd like to say."

Having conversations and arguments with people who are not in the room with us can take a lot of our energy and generally not healthy for us.  In this episode I offer ways to use Soul Recovery to stop ruminating in general as well as looking at these inner conversations and dig deeper into what is really going on in our hearts that can bring about real healing and changes in our lives.

I was inspired by a quote from the book Loving Kindness by Sharon Salzburg to use Soul Recovery concepts as steps to learn how to Love Ourselves to Wholeness. 

“Love for others without the foundation of self love becomes a loss of boundaries, codependency, (addiction) and a painful and fruitless search for intimacy.” 

6 Steps to Love yourself into wholeness In Soul Recovery

1. Lean into your Higher Power - Faith foundation of self love 
2. Basic Goodness
3. Accept ALL of you - light and dark side
4. Self-Compassion and then Forgiveness 
5. Recognize your gifts from your Higher Power- Your Purpose
6. Keep the focus on yourself and let go of the pain others have caused you or that you may have caused others.
