Beliefs

The story we tell ourselves plays a pivotal role in the way we see the world. What we believe will shape the way we do things, our relationships with others, and our motivation for change. So where do we get our beliefs? How do we recognize the beliefs that are no longer serving us? And what's the best way to establish new beliefs and moral codes to base your life around?

In this episode, Willy, Cameron, and Neight talk about beliefs. While it can seem most commonly associated to religious beliefs, our beliefs determine our actions, and we can pick them up from anywhere. Beliefs can be based around trauma, around experience, or around faith. The important part is that we figure out which beliefs can help us be better people and move throughout the world better fit to help others and stick with them. And maybe the biggest belief we should have about ourselves, is that our beliefs can change.

Plus, this weeks WarStory is a powerful one. Jen Elizabeth shares her story of drinking to cope with the child hood trauma she experienced. Her decent into meth and heroine use lead to a life of homelessness and crime. With her self worth at an all time low, she finally landed in a jail cell after repeated "attempts" at sobriety through out patient programs. Finally, something inside her connected with a power greater than herself and she felt even the tiniest urge to change her life. From that she turned her life around by committing to a life of recovery. Now, she is a published author, mother of 2 and a beacon of hope within the recovery community.
