Remember Mindfulness \u2013 review expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Self-discovery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Self-discovery never throws up a final and permanent answer \u2013 our identity is an ongoing condition and what we are today will not be the same in every respect tomorrow. Addiction turns us into monsters, caricatures of our true selves, and we must face the monster before we can find our true personality. This is the first stage of our journey towards a new life of contentment. Unless we understand ourselves, we cannot make the changes that are needed. These changes must be deep and thorough, because our personality is not \u2018skin deep\u2019. In fact, like an onion, we have several layers or \u2018skins\u2019 ranging through us, from: behaviour, feelings and thoughts, attitudes, beliefs to the innermost, our core values. It is no good simply trying to change the surface (the behaviours) unless we change the rest. So, for example, stopping drinking (behaviour) won\u2019t work unless you believe that it is the right thing to do (belief). Do I recognise the process of self-discovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Change would be a lot easier for most of us if we didn\u2019t have so many preconceived ideas. Courage to change is as much about letting go of the familiar ways as about embracing the new. I must come out of my comfort zone and discard the familiar role of the victim who blames others. I will take responsibility for my life with guidance from my Higher Power.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" View VIDEO on Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at Tiktok.com\/@recoverydays Remember Mindfulness \u2013 review expectations Self-discovery Self-discovery never throws up a final and permanent answer \u2013 our identity is an ongoing condition and what we are today will not be the … Continue reading
