💫 Adapting To The New Normal

 

​

This is a new era that we are living in right now. The past seven months we've experienced together is something that's unprecedented in our lifetimes. Change can be hard, but is often necessary to grow.

As a people in recovery, we've learned to adapt to change and acquire new skills because of it. These strategies and tools are directly transferrable to the situation the whole world finds itself in right now.

How have you adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic? What skills or tools have you gained? And what new skills can apply to what may be lacking in your life?​

Hit reply and let me know! Enjoy this week's wrap up.

 Self-Soothing for Emotional Regulation

Learning how to self-soothe is just as important for us as adults as it is as children. However, what happens when we experience childhood trauma, the self-soothing we learn can become maladaptive.

️ High Achiever with Tiffany Jenkins

During her senior year of high school, Tiffany Jenkins stopped using drugs because they were fun, and started using them so she didn't feel like she was dying.

Today Tiffany has been sober for almost 8 years. She's the author of the best-selling book, "High Achiever," has been featured on The Today Show and The Doctors, and is well known for her YouTube show, "Juggling the Jenkins."
