[RTU] New Years


The New Year is here!
It's a Great Time to Re-Ingite your Motivation with a Super Charged Recovery "Tune-up"!

 

Right now all of us need a little extra care to help us be our best and keep focusing forward. 

 The holidays are behind us and that new year's promise you made to sobriety is so much tougher than you thought. In fact, you might be ready to give it up with a clear case of the F-it's.  This is a trying time for sure...a time where a bit of self-care goes a long way towards keeping you balanced, focusing forward and committed. That little bit self-care can ignite your resilience keeping you far far away from the thoughts, feelings and actions that spiral down into relapse.  Recovery self-care is a practice that integrates care of the whole person, the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of life, something the entire world could use about now, right?  To help you with that self-care I want to send a little bit of New Year's inspiration your way, to help you supercharge your motivation and boost your confidence no matter where you are in your recovery journey. And what better time of year to rev up your commitment to recovery than now - a new year, a new beginning, and a clean slate!

How Are You Caring For Yourself?

What I'm observing from many of my clients is the need to shed some of the stress, fatigue, and uncertainty that comes with a resolution to sobriety and what that really means.  One client recently said to me, "Although I don't think I'd ever pick up, I'm having these thoughts, you know the ones, the snarky voice that says "Go ahead - you deserve it. After all it's the new year and there's always tomorrow".  As the days wore on, "I don't think I'd ever pick up" turned into "I had a lapse".  Well, you know the rest of the story...

Just recently I called my own coach and had a quick conversation to "dump" my frustrations, fears, anxiety, and down right negativity that were blocking me from being able to get anything done or feeling positive about the new year.  That little bit of unburdening and refocusing on my values gave me a huge sense of relief and renewed my motivation and excitement about life. I thought maybe you could use the same to give yourself a bold start to 2023!

Centering Helps!

If you would like some help getting re-centered, to think more clearly,  to see new possibilities and ramp up your motivation, or to just plain feel better about yourself and life,  join me for a super charged  Recovery "Tune Up" session. We'll dig in, release the stress and any underlying villains (worry, fear of relapse, cravings, doubts, finances, relationships, etc.) that are making it so much harder for you to stay sober and feel safe, hopeful, and productive especially now; a time when the freshness of the new year begins to get overshadowed by day-to-day reality. Getting relief quickly is important because when you are able to relieve the pressure of the challenges you are facing right now, you begin to see what new opportunities come into view and what the long-term effects of the decisions you make will be.  And that my friend is what boosts your motivation and levels up your confidence! What better way to start the new year! Right? Just think - when you change your perspective, you change your world!

Stay Connected!

You know that the failures of past new year's resolutions and recent relapses over the holidays can be a huge source of anxiety. Triggers, triggers everywhere! It is during times like these that I am reminded of a quote by Johann Hari, The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it is connection” and if ever there is a time for being surrounded by like-minded support, it is now! Did you know that connecting with a social support system is one of the key components of successful recovery? And of course we can meet you where you are at! We've been offering our sessions and support online and over the telephone for years now so we can make the most of our time together getting you the relief you need now, so you can focus on getting to where you want to be now and in all of the new years to come.

Indulge Yourself, Take a Break, Plan a Mini Escape!

And one more thing - with so many new ways of doing  what used to be what we considered our "normal",   I didn’t consider how much I valued the privacy I need to get the most out of my coaching sessions. A safe, quiet, and private place, for just a half an hour or so is all I need but I realized it's so hard to find these days. So, take a moment and plan your escape for that half hour or hour for your session. Make it special.  Grab your phone, take a walk or a short drive to peaceful place, a parking lot, a park or even your backyard.  Give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing you can stay strong, confident, motivated and sober with the support of a coach who will:

  • Walk with you, without judging you or making you feel inadequate; who honors you as the expert of your life
  • Be your thinking partner and help you sort through thoughts, feelings and actions that will help you stay sober, identify what you want your life to be and then help you get there without the shame, guilt or embarrassment often associated with addiction and recovery 
  • Champion and celebrate all that you are and will be, building your confidence and deepening your connections to yourself and your world as the future unfolds
  • Help you experience what it means to truly live and love an addiction-free life on your terms by building the self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-leadership to fill the void that addiction carved out of your life.

You can book a complimentary, one-on-one, 40 minute online or telephone, confidential "Recovery "Tune Up" session with me right here:
