🧠 Wednesday Wisdom: Keep Your Brain in the Driver's Seat! 🧠
🌄🗣- What’s up, SoberSuccess Squad and Growth Warriors! It’s Mikey (aka Mikeybuns) rolling through the midweek with some real talk! ⚡️
Think about addiction: It was pure emotion taking the wheel. Fear, anger, sadness, even fleeting joy—we used these feelings as an excuse to numb out. But to truly thrive in sobriety, we have to learn to drive the car ourselves.
Check out this powerful guide for today:
"NO MATTER THE SITUATION, NEVER LET YOUR EMOTIONS OVERPOWER YOUR INTELLIGENCE."
Real courage isn't suppressing your feelings; it's acknowledging them, honoring them, and then using your smart, sober brain to decide the next right action. When those big feelings come (and they will!), don't react; respond. Your sobriety is proof that you have the intelligence and strength to choose wisely. Don't let a temporary feeling derail your permanent goal. Let's Get It! 💪
🚦- 3 ACTIONABLE TIPS FOR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TODAY:
1. PRACTICE THE "HALT & PIVOT" DRILL:
The moment you feel a surge of intense emotion (anger, overwhelming stress, self-pity), stop everything you are doing, and physically change your state for two minutes. Walk outside, do 10 pushups, or listen to one full, fast song. This breaks the emotional momentum and gives your "intelligence" a chance to catch up and make a rational choice.
2. USE "THIRD-PERSON SELF-COACHING":
When a situation is triggering you, don't think "I'm so angry I need to text them." Instead, narrate the situation in the third person: "Mikey is feeling triggered right now. He knows that texting back immediately will only create more drama. What would a successful, sober Mikey do right now?" This detachment uses your intelligence to coach your emotional self.
3. ESTABLISH A "POST-MORTEM PROTOCOL":
Learning happens after the emotional event, not during it. Tonight, before bed, identify one moment today where you felt intense emotion. Write down three things: 1) What the emotion was, 2) How you reacted (or wanted to react), and 3) What the Intelligent Response should have been. This trains your brain for smarter reactions tomorrow. 📈
