Ep #205 - Let's explore how Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) are the unwelcome intruders in your mind that tell us we can't when all the while we have been growing ourselves with the I can's!

In this captivating episode, we discuss the impact these pesky saboteurs have on your self-worth, relationships, and personal growth, as you navigate the challenges of addiction, sobriety, and recovery.

Taking a fresh look at yourself, I'm here to remind you that you are not defined by your previous actions. Recovery is about embracing our unique pace in life, accepting our past, and deciding today that we will create our future from the present.

I'll delve into how ANTs can fuel your addictive behaviors and undermine your sobriety, and we'll unpack common mental traps like labeling, judging, shaming, complaining blaming, and making excuses.

Fear not, I've got the ANT-idote! Through the power of positive affirmations and taking massive positive actions you can squash the ANTs in your head. With an effective technique called ABRA (Acknowledge, Breathe, Release, Align) you'll empower yourself to keep those unruly ANTs in check.

We also discuss the importance of taking charge of our thoughts and overcoming the voice that tells us we're not enough. By challenging our ANTs with positivity, we learn to grow, thrive, and make the most of our sobriety journeys.

So, join us as we navigate the fascinating world of ANTs, addiction, and recovery! Remember, you're not alone, and together, we can tackle those pesky ANTs and celebrate our victories, one positive thought at a time.

Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.

It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.

Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, head the call!
