WEEKLY RECAP December 21st - 27th, 2019 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, December 21st (AM) Do not let your pain turn you into someone you fundamentally are not. | | |
|
| | Saturday, December 21st (PM) Do not put up with other people trying to program you. Because they will. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, December 22nd (AM) You want to know where I think your focus should be— past, present, future? I think your focus should be on whatever—and whenever— keeps you motivated, focused, and feeling like the best version of yourself. | | |
|
| | Sunday, December 22nd (PM) There are specific challenges that go with every stage of life. A lot of challenges are specific to you. No one’s going to have quite the combination of challenges that you have. Every age comes with its specific challenges . . . | | |
|
|
| | Monday, December 23rd (AM) You might make some lousy decisions for a minute. It happens. It doesn’t mean you’re not committed to recovery; it doesn’t mean you CAN’T recover; it doesn’t mean you’re weak or unskilled. | | |
|
| | Monday, December 23rd (PM) A stumble doesn’t have to lead to a spiral. Do NOT let your brain convince you that you have “no choice” but to keep spiraling down after a trigger, a regrettable decision, or a bad patch. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, December 24th (Blog) "'PART' OF YOU IS NOT 'ALL' OF YOU." One of the biggest problems we run into in life, is thinking that we are, or should be, always of one mind. That just isn’t reality. We have parts of us that think, feel, experience, want, and need different things than other parts. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, December 24th (PM) Don’t be angry at the child you once were. You still carry that kid around inside you. That kid’s experience, that kid’s feelings, that kid’s pain. You also carry around that kid’s wonder. Even a little of that kid’s spontaneity, that kid’s joy. Our past selves are always with us. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, December 25th (AM) It’s not fair that we have to struggle. It’s not fair that we don’t get days off from having to manage our thoughts and feelings and triggers. It’s not fair that we’ve endured what we endured. But, it's reality. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, December 25th (PM) I DON’T want you biting off more than you can chew. I DON’T want you buying into myths or fantasies about changing your life all at once. Very often we are tempted to take big bites...I want you taking little bites. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, December 26th (AM) I think you, and I, have the baggage and the wounds and the strengths and the mileage we all have— no more, no less. And I still think we get to choose. | | |
|
| | Thursday, December 26th (PM) Remember that you don’t need permission to move on. It's okay to feel sad or conflicted. And remember that it’s up to you to make the hard decisions that keep you moving forward. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, December 27th (AM) You’re not weird or crazy for feeling conflicted about setting boundaries. Setting boundaries does not come naturally to most people. | | |
|
| | Friday, December 27th (PM) There are things you can do today— no matter how much time is left in the day— that can, and will, make you feel better. | | |
