I have to admit that I struggle with what most would call emotional health. Beginning with my journey of recovery in 2002, I’ve started learning what emotionally healthy is really like and some tools to help achieve positive emotional health.

Change a thought, move a muscle…
I’ve been given some time to do quite a bit of thinking. I’ve started walking again and that’s helped with my train of thought. I’ve also been reading a lot and listening to audiobooks of what I’ve been reading. And while I can’t readily recall all the wisdom I’ve covered, I can’t but think it’sContinue reading “Change a thought, move a muscle…”
On a More Positive Note…
I spent some time reflecting yesterday on how my faith life has been lacking a bit here of late. But I am also reminded that I have a lot to be thankful for in this life. An attitude of gratitude goes a long way in helping combat any feeling of lack I might be havingContinue reading “On a More Positive Note…”
Mind over Matter….
Do the thoughts and emotions running through our minds have an effect on the outside world? Quite a bit of the reading I’ve done here of late would seem to say “yes.” Fascinating concept and something to ponder as I go through my daily routine. I can readily say that I am an overthinker asContinue reading “Mind over Matter….”

It would seem that tests of faith abound here of late. I’ve found my beliefs to be changing in broad respects. Is it just a stage or something much larger? I’ve heard it often said that we face many tests of faith in our lives. This past year has seen more of those tests ofContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Five”
100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four
Radical acceptance…radical surrender…and lessons to be learned. I’ve read a lot about the process of “letting go” and although it seems simple, it’s definitely never easy. There are so many, some say most, things that are beyond our locus of control in this world. It seems this is especially true when it comes to otherContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four”
100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three
The world of emotions can be like a roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs. But as a friend reminded me today, at least I have a roller coaster. This week of spring break has been a good time to relax and get a few things done around the house. While I didn’tContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three”
Shared Reading: “The Point of No Return”
There are those points in our lives when we realize we cannot return to our former way of living. And while those times past can often come calling, we have to understand that staying in the present moment and moving forward are always going to be in our best interest. I struggle with this onContinue reading “Shared Reading: “The Point of No Return””
100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-One
Am I truly angry or is it something that’s just a pet peeve of mine? I’ve never been comfortable being angry with someone or something. I feel for the most part, it’s a complete waste of energy. Yet, as a human, there are going to be those times when anger rears its ugly head. ThereContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-One”
