Summary

How do we stay positive when our bodies need to heal? Physical recovery can be a powerful time of transformation. But it can also be very stressful when the outcome is uncertain, leaving us feeling like we are missing out on life and opportunities. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss how to shift your internal dialog from “Why is this happening?” to “What do I need to learn from this?” Tune in as they examine the ways circumstances can push us towards greater growth and fulfillment in the midst of physical rest.  


“You are not missing out on life, you are just experiencing a phase of life that doesn’t feel great in the moment. But there’s a gift in the experience. Resting and healing is its own form of productivity.” – Monica Berg
