Today my guest is Dennis Berry. He is the best selling author of, “Funky Wisdom, A Practical Guide to Life.”
As always, before we jump into the interview, I want to share 3 tips to help you stay sober in early recovery.
Tip #1 – Create a plan to keep busy in the evening after work. A lot of people start feeling cravings from about 6-10pm so plan ahead. Meet with friends, volunteer, go for walks, pick up a new hobby, or try some yoga or go to the gym. Having some sort of activity in the evening can be a good distraction from cravings.
Tip #2 – Feed your brain positive ideas. There’s so much good information available on podcasts, audiobooks, and online courses to help you stay sober. Our brains are like biofeedback computers; what you put in, is what you get out, so don’t feed it crap. What you think about, you bring about, so focus on what you do want, not what you don’t want.
Tip #3 – Start a gratitude journal. There is a ridiculous amount of research, proving that writing down 5 things you are grateful for in the morning, or even before you go to bed, will help reprogram your brain to think more positively. You’ll start noticing things to be grateful for throughout the day to add to your journal. Before you know it, your whole attitude and outlook on life will be more positive and you’ll feel happier!
So that’s it for now. For more tips like these and other stories of recovery, make sure you subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app.
So without further adu, please enjoy this wide ranging conversation, with Dennis!
