Easy Does It
Sometimes when life gets hectic, we allow other things to take priority over our sobriety and find ourselves placing recovery on the backburner. Slowing down and truly tackling life one moment at a time allows us to refocus on what is most important. No matter what life throws your way, remember to pause and appreciate how far you have come. After all, every day sober is a gift.
Calm Mind, Happy Life
A calm mind fosters a kinder heart and happier life. One particularly effective way to become more Zen is through meditation. If you do not have a lot of experience meditating on your own, guided meditations are a good place to start. Led by a skilled wellness expert, you will learn how to clear your mind, find the techniques that work best for you, and be better equipped to handle stressful situations.
How to Build an At-Home Retreat
Did you know you are allowed to take time out from life? That's right! Leaving all your worries behind (at least momentarily) and escaping to your own happy place is not only okay but beneficial to your overall well-being. A break from the endless to-do lists and responsibilities can help you recharge, reflect, and become more tuned in with yourself and your needs. Whether it is reading, working out, or dancing in your living room, creating some "me time" can be just what you need to refocus on your recovery.
Your Monthly Soundtrack
If life is a journey, why not enjoy the ride with a little music? When you get too far ahead of yourself, this playlist will help you hit the breaks. From the perfectly titled “Take It Easy” by Eagles to the classic “The Bare Necessities” by Phil Harris and Bruce Reitherman, this playlist will guide you over all the bumps along the way to your destination.
10 Unexpected Ways to Reduce Stress Right Now
Stress happens when you are "here" but want to be "there." While working towards the future is great, worrying about it too much and not living in the moment can bring added pressure and anxiety, which are detrimental to your recovery. Remember, life is not a race or a competition. You do not have to be the first or the best. All you have to be is true to yourself. So set yourself free from those self-inflicted expectations and start embracing moving at your own pace.
