If the Spirit Moves You...Everyday I See my Dream: On Addiction to Action
Do your “someday,” solutions; E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y.
I religioulsy opt to do somethings “everyday” vs. as if the spirit moves you… as a non-negotiable, in my life. The priorities of my self-care, which I subscribe to that are subject to get a back seat if I don’t create the time & commitment for myself as a discpline, and thus require an undestanding of why…
Personal development as a way of life, thus is a tool to overcome addiction. I’m an addict w a daily effort of sobriety off drugs & alcohol, and as such I’m aware of always seeking out something; escapes to ease my mind. Stress of the real world is a non-stop in life, and all its trappings. Committing to what feels good in not using quick fixes, for example drugs, toxic people or sef-harmful practices does involves effort, and endurance, and is something that takes time. Steadfast feelings of self-fullfillment w out drugs are what I’m working on now.
To avoid self-harmful choices, I choose to be all in with things that are good for me. Where, I previously, reserved that for a right-timing. My revelation is that I can keep my groovy lifestyle, 24-7 as I afford it with my employment & as well as an ABUNDANCE state of mind. It’s as simple as focusing on the P-O-S-I-T-I-V-E. By exercising, the power of CHOICE. To have a ‘scracity” mind is to be unkind. Manage the mind to stay out of self-pity, doubt, fear or guilt of other’s matyrdom. Manage the mind to reward yourself w the merrits of your successes. Successes can be seen as a mental high point to know indelibly, and not to be forgotten about in a down part of one’s day. Not in false pride. Rather, towards your true authenticity. Let the losses of others not be for your sanctity. Hold an awareness of your own inventory. To drop negativity, to provide an amends if required & to uplift yourself to higher consciousness.
Truth in my life, as I reflect in honesty, and thus I reclaim my story. I see where I was given stress, so that I evolve my time to restoration. Knowing the true priority, in recovery is in self-comparison and not lost in someone else’s opinion of me, which is not real.
I become my own benchmark.
