Five Ways to Keep the Focus on You to Create Internal Safety | Episode 327

Send us a text

The constant focus on things and people outside of your control is draining. I spent too many years of my life in this vicious cycle of external focus and validation, leaving me feeling like a fragmented, boundaryless version of myself. But all that changed with recovery. 

This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am sharing the recording of a guest appearance I did with the international recovery community, Friendly Circle Berlin. I share my story of codependency, how ACA and OA shaped my healing, why emotional sobriety is the centerpiece of my life, and five ways to keep the focus on yourself so you can create internal safety from the inside out. 

The five takeaways I go over in this episode include:

1. Shift your focus to what you can control. 
2. Practice the power of self-inquiry. 
3. Mind your own business (and seek consent).
4. Identify and own your feelings. 
5. Pour from the overflow. 

You are not shattered; you are whole. The key to lasting emotional sobriety is caring more about what you think of yourself than what others think of you. Start today by choosing integrity over people-pleasing. 

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
