Turn It Around
No matter how hard we try, life sometime gets in the way. Unexpected surprises, long work days, and procrastination can divert us from our goals, even with the best intentions. This week is all about taking action. Pick up where you left off with that quarantine project you started back in May, revisit your goals, and make a plan. Rather than dwell on what you haven’t done or accomplished, we invite you to redirect and reboot any projects or plans that you might have let slip into the background. So get moving, take charge, take action, and give yourself credit for turning it around. 

Every other week we invite you to Step into Recovery with The Hub, your resource for Connection, Education, Wellness & Fun.

The Power of Community
When you lose sight of what matters most, it’s important to reconnect to something bigger than yourself. Community can be that bridge that helps you transform your life and reach your goals. When facing a difficult challenge, it can be what transforms despair into hope and isolation into connection. 
Sending Positive Vibes Your Way
If you’re in need of a quick break from work or just need some positivity in your day, go check out @tanksgoodnews on Instagram. It’s easy to get sucked into the never-ending cycle of negativity online, and this account is here to provide the uplifting content that we all need – from adorable photos of animals to inspiring community projects. Each post is sure to put a smile on your face and bring some brightness to your day. 
Your Weekly Soundtrack
Do you need some music to pump you up and get you in the mood to get things done? If so, this is the playlist for you. We have compiled a list of songs that can help motivate you to take action, reconnect with loved ones, and give you that little push you need. From Stevie Wonder's "Positivity" to Elvis Presley's "Change of Habit," this inspiring playlist is the perfect way to start your week.
The Cooking Corner
Try a new twist on a comfort food favorite with this easy Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese recipe. As the days get shorter and colder, a hearty bowl of this creamy and delicious pasta will warm up your soul. The addition of butternut squash adds a little fall flare to this dish and sneaks in a vegetable for added nutrition. Have fun and enjoy! 
Positive Self Talk
In order to take action and reach our goals effectively, it is important to get yourself into a can-do mindset. However, our positive thoughts are often overpowered by “I can'ts” and other negative self-talk. This article by Jonathan Berg teaches you how to stop putting yourself down. By correcting your negative thoughts with positive truths, you are bound to accomplish more than you ever thought was possible.
