WEEKLY RECAP February 8th - 14th, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, February 8th (AM) Many people can give you a rundown of triggers that make them feel awful. Fewer people can give you a rundown of things that make them feel good— even a little. | | |
|
| | Saturday, February 8th (PM) What would you like to feel? Secure? Calm? Optimistic? Capable? When do you already feel those things, right now? When have you felt those things in the past? | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, February 9th (AM) I want you to have a toolbox filled with ideas, tools, skills, perspectives, and backup plans that will help you out every single messy, imperfect day— not just under the best of circumstances. | | |
|
| | Sunday, February 9th (PM) All you can do, is what you can do. We may wish we could do more. We may wish we could do what we can do, better . . . But then go ahead and do what you can do— right here, right now. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, February 10th (AM) We need to go out of our way to make sure that stuff that makes us feel good— either a little, or a lot— is scheduled into our day. We can’t leave feeling good up to chance. | | |
|
| | Monday, February 10th (PM) In recovery, it’s essential to remember that the problem that exists out there in the world and the problem that exists in your head BOTH need to be addressed . . . | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, February 11th (Blog) "GRIEF AND LOSS MESS WITH US." One of the reasons why loss and grief mess with us so much is because they reset the equation of our lives. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, February 11th (PM) Surely there must be people who “deserve” problems that “should” have this problem instead of you, right? That’s what we think, anyway. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, February 12th (AM) Choosing your own goals and values may seem intimidating. After all, these are important decisions here, that will powerfully direct our focus and behavior every day. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, February 12th (PM) It really is the case that, in a practical sense, many of us don’t have the freedom to express ourselves as we’d prefer all the time. It’s a drag, but social consequences are real . . . | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, February 13th (Blog): “DEATH DOESN'T END RELATIONSHIPS. IT CHANGES THEM.” Our relationships with friends and family members who have passed away sometimes remain some of the defining relationships in our lives. They’re still with us. | | |
|
| | Thursday, February 13th (PM) If you've let yourself down in the past, it’s a bummer. You don’t have to be happy about it, “grateful for it,” or otherwise feel good about it. But you DO need to be fair to yourself about it. Are you beating yourself up over not doing something you were simply not prepared or equipped to do at that time? | | |
|
|
| | Friday, February 14th (AM) What makes for good leadership is not workaholism and narcissism and myopia. What makes for good leadership is compassion, balance, the willingness to slow the hell down and think instead of acting on impulse. | | |
|
| | Friday, February 14th (PM) We have to figure out a way to keep going when we’re annoyed. We have to figure out a way to keep going when we’re resentful. We have to figure out a way to keep going when we don’t get what we want. | | |
