Heightened awareness leads us to discoveries about ourselves. We begin to see opportunities for change … even though in the beginning, the changes may seem too small to matter.

Is there one thing you can consider changing? One small thing that you might do, or see, differently in order to bring about a bit of relief from your difficulties?

Over the next couple of days, try giving yourself permission to do just one small thing for yourself that you wouldn’t have done one week ago. The thing is up to you … you are the only one who knows which thing you need.

Getting to the Root of the Matter

This week we’re just taking a little time to become familiar with the basics of recovery … heightening our awareness, and thinking about the root of our challenges.

Taking an inventory of the things that cause pain isn’t generally an enjoyable task. Most of us would rather think about anything other than a difficult family situation or a chronic illness.

Even so, heightened awareness forces us to spend some time thinking honestly about the areas that need improvement. What is the root of the issue? Avoidance? Poor nutrition? Fear? An incurable disease? The need to over-achieve?

Spend a little time considering the root of your pain. Maybe, on a rare occasion, you’ll decide that there’s nothing that can be done to improve the situation … then again, maybe you’ll find that having a glimpse of the root of the problem begins to open a channel for change.

Just for today, consider that there might be a better way.

“For we are not afraid to follow the truth, wherever it may lead.” Thomas Jefferson

Take good care,

Be Aware of Your Pain

Pay attention to things that bring you pain, anxiety, or concern today. Your body, mind, and spirit. What’s nagging? What do you continue to push to the back burner?

Begin a path of recovery by raising your awareness to the things that need your loving attention. Is it a stiff aching joint, a resentment you’ve refused to face, a painful raw emotion?

For today, become aware of your pain.
