The three things we need for recovery are:
1. Rigorous Honesty
2. Tolerating Uncomfortable Emotions
3. Delayed Gratification

1. We can not change or have growth without rigorous honesty. We need to first of all be honest with ourselves about our struggles, what is truly going on inside of us, and if there are any areas that need to be exposed that could possibly get us into trouble or keep us in an unhealthy state. Then, we have to be honest with safe people around us who can support us in our healing journey.
2. We then have to learn how to tolerate uncomfortable emotions. Many times, we try to escape emotions whether good or bad by escaping with unhealthy behaviors, patterns, or people. We will never be healthy until we learn to sit with what is challenging for us and find healthy ways to be in the present and allow ourselves to experience our emotions.
3. We must allow space for life to happen and understand we will be uncomfortable at times and that’s okay. We will not get immediate gratification at times when we make changes or choose to sit in the discomfort but it will be worth it in the long term. We will be healthier versions of ourselves.

Recovery is hard.
Letting go of our old selves and old patterns is hard.
However, healing and letting go of patterns that are no longer serving us is so worth it.

I often say “give yourself some grace.” I believe most of us are doing the very best we can with the tools we have. When we have experienced trauma often times we are surviving moment by moment. So when you find yourself being critical or beating up on yourself for past decisions just remember the only thing you can do is make better choices moving forward. You deserve the freedom of letting go. You got this, take a deep breath, and give yourself some grace. 💗

There is freedom in having our past be part of our story and not letting it control our present. Allow yourself the gift of truly living in the present and letting go of the things that hold you down from being your true authentic self.

Sharing our stories can be scary and at the same time it allows for freedom and for our healing to happen. It can also help others on their healing journeys as well. Your story is worth sharing 💗

We can only control ourselves. That’s is why I love the alternate version of the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me 💗

Empathy vs. Sympathy

I love this video because it is such a great example of why we should be present and walk in the dark valleys with people when they are struggling💗
Empathy breeds connection while sympathy breeds disconnection and often times leaves the person in pain feeling lonelier than they did before.

You can only run away for so long but wherever you go there you are. The only way you can find true healing is by facing the things you have struggled with and fear to face. When you bring them to the light and work on them they finally lose their power. You deserve that. We all do.

Have you ever noticed that you have a tendency to repeat unhealthy patterns? You might say “my picker is broken” when it comes to choosing people to be in relationships with, you end up with the same type of person. You might say “I don’t ever want to be like (fill in the blank) or ever want to get angry like them, etc. But then you might wall off, get angry, isolate, just like you saw done. If we don’t repair those areas of hurt in our past we will end up repeating them in our present. You are worth making a change. You deserve to not repeat the past but to write your own story, a new story. When you decide to heal it is not only a blessing and gift to you but for future generations.
