Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually
Steps Six and Seven
Judge each day by the seeds you plant, not by the
harvest that you reap. We long for quick results that
confirm our success and validate our self-image.
Sometimes it doesn’t work like that. Maturity is
about doing things that require the long view. It is
a sign of immaturity to look for instant gratification
– that’s how we used to be. Letting go of our
childish ways is a part of growing up in recovery.
When I became a man, I put away childish
things. St Paul, Corinthians.
St Paul makes letting go sound easy but some of us
struggle with impatience. We perceive all our
tomorrows as an unbearable eternity. Much better
to be patient. Can I take things a day at a time?
Steps Six and Seven are about letting go. I must now
be ready to let go of my character defects and the
shame and guilt that go with them. This is not as
easy as it sounds, unless I have help. Today I ask
God for guidance in letting go of my past.
