As Father Richard Rohr says, “If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it — usually to those closest to us: our family, our neighbors, our co-workers, and, invariably, the most vulnerable, our children.” https://brenebrown.com/articles/2019/05/31/what-being-sober-has-meant-to-me/ #addiction #sober #alcohol #parenting #Brown #BrenéBrown 🫡#selfCare #positive #self #selfStudy #practice
“Self-acceptance permits balance in our recovery. We no longer have to look for the approval of others because we are satisfied with being ourselves. We are free to gratefully emphasize our assets, to humbly move away from our defects, and to become the best recovering addicts we can be. Accepting ourselves as we are means that we are all right, that we are not perfect, but we can improve.”
(#Narcotics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 1985)
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
– Lao Tzu

"I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival."

“For a long time, I wanted people to change―to be less cruel, to be decent, to be fair, to tell the truth. That would be lovely. But I'm not waiting around for that. I'm deciding who gets to enter my spaces, my heart, my mind, my living room, because I'm responsible for those places, no one else. I'm responsible to protect my mind, my heart, my family.”
―Shauna Niequist, in "I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet: Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ways Stop Working"
"Without boundaries, you may feel overwhelmed, stressed, or taken advantage of, leading to burnout or resentment."
"Setting boundaries is not selfish—it’s necessary for your well-being."
