One day at a time, one practice at a time, one decision at a time. That’s how you create the life you want. There’s no shortcut, whether you’re changing your relationship to your work, communicating better in your relationships, or on a sobriety journey. This episode is a reminder that you can do it.
Today, I'm excited to have a guest from my past. I recently reconnected with Jensen Rapp, whom I hadn't seen in years, because he published a workbook to help people begin and stay on a sobriety journey. He's here to share his story and the practices that have helped him maintain 15 years of sobriety after 16 years of drinking every day.
What we talk about in this episode doesn’t just apply to alcoholism. If you’ve experienced any type of addiction, or you’ve become aware of certain habits that are keeping you from living your healthiest, most fulfilling life, this is for you. No matter what your struggle is, making a change comes down to so many of the same principles you’ll hear Jensen talk about. We explore how you can make decisions that are in your best interests, truly be with yourself in the good, the bad, and the ugly, and support yourself in your growth through it all.
There is hope and possibility in any situation you’re facing right now. No matter how long you’ve done something, no matter how deep you are, there is always the opportunity for change and support to help you get there. Let’s dive in.
What you’ll learn:
- How to find your “X-factor” and think about what your life would look like without it
- How to handle your emotions when they come back after being numb for so long
- Several daily practices to help you process your emotions and be more present in your life
- The “think twice” philosophy that Jensen practices every day to live with more intention
- Why it’s important that you don’t make the decision to change until you feel ready
