Remember Mindfulness – breathe deeply

Empowerment

Whether you are in recovery or not, taking
responsibility for your future wellbeing is a moment
of empowerment. It can be exhausting when you try
to run your life according to what the world expects
– financial success, material possessions and a
flamboyant social image. Mindfulness and
meditation show us a different way. Instead of
results, trophies, and achievements we are offered
peace, understanding and appreciation of the world
in which we live. Instead of stress, fear and anxiety,
we find relaxation, friendship and awareness. Am I
ready to put my emotional wellbeing before material
success?

In active addiction we were trying to control people
and events, asserting our own points of view, and
making demands. Now, we are more often asking
for help or expressing thanks. That is no bad thing,
but perhaps we should spend more time listening.
Our Higher Power will not ignore us, but we run the
risk of missing messages that are sent because we
are too busy. Meditation is listening. We should
meditate daily and feel the difference. Today I pray
to listen to my Higher Power.
