How expectations create self-doubt in early sobriety (well, life in general really)

From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery Podcast

Ep #9: Self-doubt is a feeling, and we know that feelings come from thoughts - which are abundant, fleeting, and controllable. An expectation is a thought about how things could, should, or would play out in reality. When I feel self-doubt, I follow these three keys.

The three ways I find confidence are through self-doubt.

1. My memories are just thoughts, and thoughts drive feelings, and feelings and thoughts are fleeting and abundant, so let's clear your mind through intention-driven thinking.

   • Let certain things go and live in the moment.

2. The choice to change can happen instantly, but the actual change takes time.

   • Things come when we are ready.
   • The moment you truly decide to change, then the change has occurred. In the essence or aura of your life, the actual progression to that change will take time. Don't get instant gratification monkey on me with this. Keep the panic monster at bay by working on little things each day.

3. I already have the resources to overcome or succeed in any endeavor; I need to implement it. What can I do today to move forward?

   • The strength and resiliency to overcome challenges is inside you right now. Of the many things one could say about those with an addiction history is that we are resourceful.

Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place, at the right time—right now.
