😬 Undoing The Grin-and-Bear-It Culture

For so long, so many of us live in the "grin-and-bear-it" culture.

We put our own feelings and needs to the side and act like everything is okay. That only leads to our downfall. Living that way only works for so long.

I'm finding that there's a number of people on Sobriety Engine struggling with sobriety, life in general, or "just hanging-on."

If you're struggling, I'd be glad to pair you up with a friend, accountability, partner, get you involved on our platform, or just lend an ear. Your struggles are important and you deserve to be helped.

Feel free to send me a message.

Enjoy the rest of this week's wrap up!

Recovery Coaching

This week, we helped Paul navigate an internal struggle of wanting to be liked. Faced with indecision, Paul's past experiences have led him to trust people who take advantage of his kindness. Going back to childhood, Paul was able to identify core feelings and patterns that led him to this moment.

Guided Meditation

So often, we spend much of our time taking in information and trying to organize our day-to-day lives. Moving from our thinking mind to our feeling body, this week's 10-minute mindfulness meditation helped us relax, create space, and begin to separate our thoughts from ourselves.
