Messages of Hope is a series of perspectives for people who have found a willingness to seek solutions and live life of life’s terms.

We are a self improvement podcast of individual messages originated from The Recovery Pod - a podcast about addiction and recovery.

We have a community on Facebook that we welcome all who want to join to become a part of. We also have a willingness to speak to people who want to share their story or have a conversation about their experience with any of these self-help concepts. We gain our experience from 12 Step programs, books from the likes of Don Miguel Ruiz and Eckhart Tolle, and discuss the concepts of spirituality and mindfulness in many of our discussions.

This episode I discuss the concept of talking too much about pain and triggers, and how easily it can take us back into old patterns of thought and behavior.

In this episode I speak about accepting a Higher Power’s will not only in regards to the present moment, but when reflecting on the past as well. Too often we look back with retrospective awareness and think “If I could go back and time I would do it different!” Which is an exercise in wanting to go back and take our will back.
