GAIN SOME HEADSPACE: The Mindful Way

Many of us go about our days mindlessly until our thinking is taken over by worry. When you love someone with addiction it might be thoughts like: Why are they acting this way? Where are they? Are they drinking/doing drugs again? Are they ok? Why do they pick fights with me? What else can I do to help them? What if my boundaries are too rigid and something terrible happens? Your brain gets hijacked by thoughts like these.

Mindfulness is an ancient practice that moves from mindlessness and runaway thoughts of worry, concern and rumination to mindfulness and the distance between the thinking and the thought. What is interesting about mindfulness is that it is not just mediation; it isn’t about wiping your mind clear of thoughts. It’s not just relaxation - although it is calming, it’s not a pose in yoga.

IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY: Self-Awareness and the Permission to be Human

 

By Andrea Seydel Author of Saving You Is Killing Me: Loving Someone with an Addiction

 

When you love someone with addiction, emotions can get the better of you. Frequently you are left feeling hurt, disappointed, angry and sad. But it is essential to know these emotions are fundamental and very human. When you gain self-awareness, you can recognize and manage your feelings and gain emotional intelligence to help you take back your power and better handle these elements of your lives. It is empowering to look at your own words and actions from a perspective outside of yourself to see yourself more clearly. In this sense, you can see self-awareness is a way of introspection that brings opportunities for honouring your thoughts, feelings and behaviour from a clear, compassionate perspective.

THE REALITIES OF ADDICTION: Why You Must Advocate For Yourself

It is prevalent to misunderstand why or how other people become addicted to drugs or alcohol. It is common to think that those with addiction lack willpower or moral decision-making and that they could stop simply by choosing to stop. In reality, drug addiction is a very complex subject, and some would say a disease. Drugs and alcohol change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. From the science, research, and professionals in their fields, the consensus is that some realities of addiction might offer you a degree of support when you love someone with an addiction. When you are armed with these realities, advocating for yourself, your healing and taking back your power becomes a priority.

A Life Worth Breathing: Breath your Way to Inner Calm

Spirituality or awakening has many benefits: We often go through life on autopilot without giving too much thought to who we are, what we want, or even why we are here. Stop and take notice of your breath. Breathing is a wonderful practice to help you tap into your spirituality and power. Awakening is about turning on a bright light in a previously dark room.

Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A form of self-respect to reclaim your life

When someone crosses your boundaries, they're telling you,

What you want doesn't matter."

Self-respect is defined as holding yourself in esteem and believing that you are worthy of being treated well. Having self-respect in a relationship means you hold yourself to your standards and are not pushed beyond these boundaries. When you love someone with an addiction or are in a relationship with someone who has an addiction, chances are your limits have been pushed, and your boundaries are blurred.

Making Self-Care Daily Habits: How tiny changes create remarkable results.

So why should we love and care for ourselves? Whether it’s going to your favourite spa, relaxing in a yoga class, or just allowing some time to rest in bed, ‘me time’ is something we require to rest and recharge, to take a pause, and to take stock of our lives mindfully. It is a beautiful support tool that we can use to grow, evolve, and expand who we are and ultimately makes us feel good about ourselves on all levels. Self-care is about actively using coping strategies and skills to improve our well-being to manage our lives better.
