Agency - The ABILITY to choose.Remember the Success Cycle that I posted about yesterday? The Success Cycle only works when we are using our ability to choose - and we choose wisely when we (imagine me shouting this part from the rooftops) DESIGN OUR LIFE TO INCREASE OUR AGENCY!
Remember, addiction is the one thing on Earth that takes away our agency. Our addiction chooses for us. Always. As we dive into active recovery, we gather the threads of our agency back together and. in so doing, we get back to our true self!
Seven Principles of Agency (via Paul Napper, with my narrative):
1. Control Stimuli - Rid yourself of distractions and focus on the important matters in your life.
2. Associate Selectively - Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who root for your rise.
3. Move - Move your body Exercise your mind. Listen to your Spirit.
4. Position Yourself As A Learner - We don't know everything!! Be open to new ideas as you are becoming!
5. Manage Your Emotions and Beliefs - "Recognize that your feelings and beliefs are not always facts, so you shouldn't act on impulse or pre-conceived notions."
6. Check Your Intuition - Listen to your dang gut!
7. Deliberate, Then Act - Consider. Breathe. Be in your true self before deciding on your best course of action.
See. Say. Feel. Do.
