    39 | 3 Ways I Use Journaling for Healing in Sobriety

    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 Connect with Chelsea Anderson: Instagram Intro/Outro Music: “New Age Nature” by Sonican

    37 | Self-Inventory in Sobriety: Celebrating Successes and Setting Intentions

    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! 💌 Join the Recovered Life email list

    35 | Discovering Self-Worth in Sobriety with Jason Munday

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jason Munday, a sober friend and Realtor from Tucson, Arizona.  Known as the “nice guy” in high school, Jason inwardly struggled with low self-worth. He turned to alcohol and drugs in college and beyond, in a continual attempt to numb painful emotions and be comfortable in his own skin. After many “wake-up calls”, one pivotal experience made him realize his life was worth living to the fullest. Jason now meets each day with gratitude for his sobriety and a commitment to live authentically. 🪶 Tune in for story medicine and practical wisdom on: - triggers as opportunities to heal root causes, rather than excuses - the progressive nature of addiction - how to maintain sobriety through gratitude, physical exercise, spiritual connection, ongoing self-discovery and helping others - addictive personality as a superpower when channeled toward positivity Connect with Chelsea Anderson on Instagram Connect with Jason Munday on Instagram  💌 Join the Recovered Life email list and get my FREE Resource Guide - Holistic Tools for Self-Empowered Sobriety
