In today's episode of the Recovery Daily Podcast, I tackle the often-overlooked issue of communication—or the lack thereof—in our relationships. How many times have we found ourselves saying, "We should talk more. I should call you more. Sorry I'm so out of touch. I've been busy. Life's been just so busy"? While these phrases are common, they can be unhealthy for us and our relationships.
Life is undeniably busy, especially when juggling work, family, personal commitments, and recovery. However, using busyness as an excuse can strain our relationships, leading to feelings of neglect and disappointment. Over time, these unfulfilled promises can erode trust and create emotional distance.
Today I explore why these excuses are harmful and how they create a cycle of guilt and avoidance. I share some ways to break this cycle and maintain regular, meaningful contact with our loved ones without making empty promises or putting unreasonable pressure on ourselves.
Tune in as I share tips on being honest and realistic, scheduling regular check-ins, prioritizing quality over quantity, using technology wisely, and expressing our feelings. By approaching communication with honesty, intentionality, and care, we can nurture our relationships and ensure that our loved ones feel valued and appreciated.
