Welcome to recovery guy podcast. This is an episode from “The Fix” that airs every Monday. Today’s episode is part two of two on recovery paradigms. In this episode, I picked up from where I left off last week. If you remember last week we looked at what is a recovery paradigm, a practical example of the recovery paradigm how paradigms affect us negatively and positively, the need to identify the erroneous paradigms.
We then transitioned into remove or displaying paradigms that are not consistent with our direction, commitment or overall environment. Once we get these things we were able then to discover new recovery paradigms, examine if they would be a good fit, adapting these new positive paradigms while making sure they keep us in alignment with our current or future commitments.
I believe when we do this we elevate our thinking which enhances our behavior. Our new behavior in turn validates this new paradigm or advanced paradigm. The program of recovery is more about the journey than it is about the destination. If we do not allow our thinking to evolve with a new positive approach or a more refined version of what we are currently doing, then we cannot move forward.
To keep an idea that would lack effectiveness doesn’t make sense and would keep me from accessing a higher-level recovery paradigm. The challenge people of recovery staying in the same place will eventually cause us to move backward. I find that very dangerous for a person of recovery, such as myself. Matter of fact, referring to last Thursday’s The Check Up podcast (recovery stagnation) staying in the same place can cause us to become emotionally, spiritually, and or physically stagnant. We won’t stay stagnant for long. We either get better or we get worse.
I hope you enjoy Part 2 of 2 on Recovery Paradigms. Please join us on Podbean, ITunes Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Play. We have fresh content every Monday and Thursday
