I was the one who felt used, abused, acted naive and didn’t listen.
Today, I have balance within myself.
I can give, but also must receive. I can love myself and others. I can trust my Higher Power, God. I can sit quietly and listen to others share their story. It’s this powerful combo that I found blissfully beautiful in my sobriety. When oneself is out of the bondage of self we have found serenity, peace and compassion.
Training our minds to think differently can be a challenge. Take one day at a time. Add to your daily routine some thing different. Like doing a new breathing technique or 5 minute meditation. Tell yourself that this will be a tool I can use when times get rough. It’s when we are persistent with our daily routines they become second nature. Journaling a gratitude list each morning is another beautiful grounding tool I use daily. It’s ok if you miss a day or two. We are not perfect.
Share with us a few tools you use to ground yourself?
Have a wonderful day filled with love and peace within.
