Are you a sober introvert? Do you struggle with expressing your feelings verbally, but wish they had somewhere to land? Do you dislike writing, but your sobriety mentors keep suggesting it?

Journaling has been a hugely effective, enjoyable tool in my addiction recovery journey. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be tedious and long-form. Let’s keep it short and simple!

✍️ In this episode, I introduce three simple journaling methods that will help you:

• begin each day by setting powerful intentions

• use I Am statements and prayers to align spiritual connection with self-empowerment

• track progress and identify patterns in key areas of life (physical health, spiritual practices, sobriety, and general mood)

• express feelings and release stored energy

• preserve memories and ensure there are “receipts” to combat self-doubt in the future

One of the most important decisions you’ll make in sobriety is who you choose to guide you. This applies to not only your addiction recovery, but your whole journey.

Are your friends, influences and health care professionals aligned with your goals?

This episode is an invitation to direct your energy, time and finances toward relationships and healing modalities that are life-giving.

Let’s kick off the sober New Year with one of my favorite personal development tools - Inventory!

For many people in addiction recovery, inventory has a negative connotation. This isn’t a list of things you’ve done right or wrong, your perceived character flaws, or successes vs. failures. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge progress within your sobriety and healing journey, and identify what you’d like to see changed.

🪶 Tune in as I present four questions to help you consider:

• your relationship to and role within the sober community

• how you’re investing in your health - mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic

• how you’re creating space for rest and fun

Grab your journal and a pen, and let’s go!
