Episode notes
Surrender Means Changing Habits
- Surrendering means changing how you live, not giving up control to others.
- Kelly emphasizes that if nothing changes, nothing changes, so new behaviors are required.
Use Curiosity To Meet Resistance
- Notice fear and resistance and then ask why you're feeling them instead of shaming yourself.
- Kelly recommends curiosity about fear as a signal of work that needs to be done.
Humility Opens The Path Forward
- Recovery requires humility: admit you don't know the right way and ask for guidance.
