My dogs bring me SO much joy. I can hardly remember what life was like without them.

Bev Sartain posted an update 7 years, 5 months ago
I’m really excited about the posts I have read. My intention behind The Lab has been to create a conscious community for people intending to move beyond the struggle of substances and life and step into more meaning and contribution in their life. Therefore, I help people work with what’s coming up for them so that they can use every experience…[Read more]

Delina, you bring up such a great point. I relate so much. Personally, It took me about 6 months into my recovery before I could even allow myself to feel my feelings and even consider more meaning and purpose in my life. I found the first 2 years to such an important deep dive for myself. I acknowledge you for raising your hand to be here so that…[Read more]

I can not express how excited your post made me Elizabeth. I’m devoted to my own continued growth and to the growth of people who want to actualize their own potential. YOU!

Feeling really grateful today for my family. We don’t have a normal family. In fact, it’s quite dysfucntional among my family members but I have great relationships with everyone and I attribute that to my sobriety and personal growth. How does your personal growth journey impact those around you?

Here’s a FB Live I did today. Every Tuesday I will be sharing a tip and take-action that I will post in here as well so that you can get my support and feedback with any of the tips you put into action. https://s3.amazonaws.com/recoverylifemanagement/Carveouttime.mp4

Great tip, I’ve been pretty consistent with 5:30am to 6am Mon-Fri, and then a little more flexible on the weekends. But I feel off if I miss a day now.

Great observation!

My husband and I witnessed a domestic violence situation today that my husband broke up by honking his horn and calling the cops. I immediately felt the fight or flight response in my body. Witnessing something like that is really triggering for me since many of you know I great up in a d.v. situation with my parents. I know this is a safe place…[Read more]

Acknowledging you for sharing your feelings and getting the support you need.

Glad you came here to share, sending out peace to everyone involved.

Thank you both very much.

Thank you for sharing Bev. I would have felt fight or flight too. My marriage ended with domestic violence. I cannot even watch a movie on TV that has DV in it.

I want to give a big welcome to Courtney, Trudy, Elizabeth and Dena Rae! Grateful to have you joining us. And would love to hear a little bit about you and your “recovery” journey thus far! Welcoming you with open arms. You will be receiving some emails over the next week to support you in learning about The Lab. My best tip is to make time to…[Read more]

That’s the big shift, viewing the reward of the process over the fear of self-judgment around failure. It’s truly about asking yourself, “What am I most committed to?”

Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 7 years, 5 months ago
One of my favorite paradigms is that there’s no such thing as failure, only feedback. This changes how we look at it. We have to be willing to have the reward of the process, of learning and growing. If we remain afraid of the judgment then we stay stuck. You know how to work with the thoughts now, practicing neutrality, self-forgiveness,…[Read more]

Yeah even as I was typing that, I thought to myself the “failures” are just opportunities to learn. I’m going to post that paradigm somewhere I can see it everyday. I do now appreciate the reward of the process more so than before.

This will be a beautiful practice. Let us know what you find.

Great intention Jane. Might steal that one.

How might your life look different if you trusted and let go more?

What comes to mind is bigger risk, bigger reward. Like there would be failures but also successes & joyful moments that right now I’m keeping out by trying to avoid the risks & pain. I know I’m definitely doing this in the area of relationships. Yikes…ok going to crack this heart open again…Time to uplevel.

Today I find joy in the simple things, my son and I set a date to take a walk when I got home from work. I came home expecting him to be too (busy, tired, whatever) and found that he was just as excited as I am. JOY, JOY, JOY
Lovely, I’ve been working on dropping expectations and being with what is.
Dogs, spending time with my cousin’s kids, cracking up at old inside jokes with a friend.
My dogs bring me SO much joy. I can hardly remember what life was like without them.
Hanging with my dog, meditating at my Temple. Helping others, especially those who are dealing with their own recovery and volunteering.
Awesome Chas, does the helping others with their recovery feel like a calling or something else?
I am filled with joy when my children (21 and 26) contact me! And having a relationship with my parents!
