  • Today on the podcast I talk about a framework that I learned which is all about thinking about what you love, and what you want to cultivate in your life, rather than focusing on what you hate or are trying to get away from.

    This orientation gives a much stronger fuel source for your recovery. And in this episode I talk about some examples and how to practice it.
