Stage 2 –Continued
Pressing On
So here I am 6 weeks later: I have found out that self worth is important, that not having validation in one’s life can break a person’s spirit, and that I must press on – regardless of how I feel. No one ever told me that the same chains that bind me to my bed and make me NOT want to get up, are the same ones that hold a person to an addiction…It’s all about the mind. Having a made up mind can do wonders for your physical well being, your spiritual well being and for your outlook in life. Though there may be a biological or physiological component to an addiction, by and large, if one can lead his own thought processes toward the door of escape, by maintaining a positive mental support network, it is a step in the right direction. . . just saying.
For me, it took a while to get off the yo-yo cycle of “I feel great today/I am lost today” kind of mentality. However, I realized by setting a daily goal, I not only validated myself, but I became more productive, even if I wasn’t on someone’s “payroll.” Setting a daily goal helped me see things clearer; the mental fog dissipated – I was on my “way.”
