Exploring How Breathwork Can Help You
Oct 5, 2020
Breathwork is a therapeutic practice that helps give the mind a break. Breathing itself can help someone begin to slow down the hectic nature of their own world, or even their mind, in order to help them begin to process whatever stressors or stimuli that are going on in their lives so they can begin to understand and work through the resulting feelings and emotions. Understanding breathwork, its intended purposes, as well as how someone can implement such techniques in their daily lives can help someone not just begin to regain a sense of control over their own mind, but also begin to structure their days in a way that is geared towards their continued success in recovery.
How Can I Identify and Avoid Self-Sabotage in Recovery?
Oct 4, 2020
There are many hurdles for each person in recovery as someone must confront their vulnerabilities and preconceived notions about their world and their own world view. Recovery involves learning a lot of life skills or coping mechanisms that are important to implement in daily life. The stress of someone trying to transform their mindset, values, and even self-image is intense. Because of the stressful nature of recovery, introducing even more stressors or hurdles can be incredibly detrimental to the recovery process. Self-sabotage is just one way in which someone can hinder their own recovery and own goals. Identifying self-sabotaging behavior and addressing the underlying reasons therein can help someone not just confront these hurdles in a therapeutic way, but also continue to aid them in the path to their own goals in recovery as they take hold of their future.
Celebrating the First Year Sober

Achieving a full year of continuous sobriety is an incredible achievement. While each person’s journey to sobriety is filled with its own unique challenges, each person may still experience their own constant stressors and demands for change. As a result, it is important to celebrate these huge milestones along with your sober birthday. Not only are these sober birthdays indicative of a time of profound change for each person, but they are also symbols that someone is finding their success in their personal lives beyond the influence of drugs or alcohol. Celebrating the first year sober and establishing this personal holiday is important, and there are a number of things that someone can do in order to help them internalize the profound nature of their accomplishment.
Finding Your Own Community
Oct 2, 2020
The importance of community in recovery cannot be understated. Having others around who can understand and relate to all of the trials that someone is going through in recovery can be a motivating and inspirational experience. However, not all communities are the same. It is important to find a recovery community that works for each individual and explore what beneficial recovery communities look like. Finding out how one’s individuality fits into the community identity is important to establish an important relationship between someone and their own community. Having others who understand is just the first aspect, but having a supportive group of people who then also accept and work together towards a larger goal can be the most influential aspect of one’s time in recovery.
