The Climb.
Do you feel like you have been climbing forever?
Do you feel like there is always more to work on?
That is okay. we are all improving every day. Yes, when we are climbing out of the dark it feels like we are working harder than anyone else. It looks like people who aren't in the dark don't have to work any where near as hard and its easy for them. It's all about perspective.
Everyone is improving themselves. Do you think they have time to go to the gym? Do you think they have time to meal prep?
No, but they are making the choice to improve themselves. Just as you are. It just looks different for each and every one of us.
One foot in front of the other. You got this! -

This one hits home!

We fight! We fight ourselves every day. Are you allowing yourself to rest? For me my depression can push me passed a breaking point if I don't give myself a day to just not be okay.
It is a mental struggle to choose to fight.
When I wake up, I make my bed.
I take my vitamins.
I take a shower.
I get dressed,
I Make a to do list.
To some people these are just everyday tasks but for me this is me choosing to fight and tell my brain I can't just lay in bed today.
Be kind to yourself when you need to be.
You can't win every day. Just like you can't loose everyday either. -

Perspective is everything!
When you are in the dark, it is easier to embrace the dark. Never when I was at my lowest did, I want to look up.
Only when I made the conscious decision to look for the glimpse of light that was shining through. Maybe not stars or rainbows but if you look, something small may be there.
Anything that shows a sign or relief, is a better than nothing, right. Improvement is improvement no matter how big or small. -

If you read this image and tears fill your eyes. Please keep reading.

I think back to my darkest moments and this question was one of those that I struggled with the most. Just trying to think of one thing to be grateful for was HARD. I knew there was stuff somewhere, but I couldn't feel an ounce of gratitude when every inch of my skin was crawling with sadness. I was consumed in this fog of gloom.

I see you. I am grateful you are here. I am grateful you are still fighting. I know you didn't ask for this fight and I know you are exhausted. But can I sit with you when you cannot find anything to be grateful for. I can be your light.

STOP COUNTING:

A non-smoker who has no intention to ever smoke doesn’t count the days they have gone without smoking. Same goes for a non-drinker or any other unhealthy behavior. Their identity is based off them being a non-smoker & their VALUES, not based off the number of days they have never done an unhealthy behavior.

So when you quit your addiction/behavior and made the CHOICE to better your self. Then those unhealthy behaviors & habits went with it along with your former identity.

Your new identity is that your a non-smoker, or non-drinker, or non-whatever. And it doesn’t matter how many days since you have CHOSE this new identity. What matters is you have DECIDED to become this new person & one with VALUE.

Stop giving your negative traits, negative behaviors your ENERGY. Be proud but if you are counting the days you are still giving the negative trait your POWER.

"You have the CHOICE to rise from trauma or the CHOICE to allow it to hold you back." - Ari R.

The unknown is scary, I remember my child looking me in the eyes, with tears falling saying, "mom I don't want to get better, because I am scared of the unknown."

The unknown is uncomfortable. It's scary. Especially without support. No matter where you are on your journey, Your Light house is here with arms wide open to just be here.

Looking forward to seeing you in a group soon!
Every day at 10:30am and 2:30pm on Zoom!
