Sometimes folks ask me what I treat with Myofascial Release . . . well . . . I have a page on my website called Conditions We Can Help . . . It's only a partial list, but does include most of the hits.

General Conditions Jaw Pain (TMJ dysfunction) Neck pain Back Pain Headaches Sciatica Whiplash Chronic Pain Migraines Fibromyalgia Plantar fasciitis Trigger

One of the most common things I see is people living with jaw tension and TMJ pain for years.
They assume it's stress, grinding, or just "how their body is."
But often the real issue is tight fascia in the jaw, neck, and head that never gets released.
Myofascial Release therapy can often help relieve that pressure in a surprisingly gentle way.
If you're in the Kennett Square / West Chester / Wilmington area and dealing with TMJ pain, feel free to reach out.

A New thought One Day at a Time – Feb 9

Day 40

Came to believe . . .
Power greater than ourselves . . .
Restore us to sanity . . .

Sometimes is easier when we break things down . . . take it one a slice at a time.

We’ve spent some time with the concept of a Higher Power . . .
Have you come to a place where you embrace that idea? Or at least live with it?

Can you see it as a power Greater than you are?
How about a power you have access to?

In New Thought we say WE are the same power as the big thing . . .
Same as the Higher Power.
Too much? Too much to take in or accept?

Remember we don’t have to accept these concepts all at once. . . but I’m here to tell you that these things are, in fact, a way towards a happier life.

Do you know that you want a happier life?
Have you decided that’s what you want?
Do you believe that’s even possible?

Or does the thought of a happier life feel overwhelming to you?
Does it even seem possible?

What if you think you’re plenty happy now. Things are just fine and dandy the way they are, thank you very much, and so you feel no need to dig into your past or your patterns.

Is that the truth?

Thing is the only way to a healthier and happier life is HONESTY!
Yep . . . ya gotta get down to the nitty gritty. I mean truly honest.

Bazinga!
That’s a big one!
Honesty! Whoa Nelly!

This might be a good time to remember that honesty has probably been an issue for you over the years of using stuff.
I mean if you’re like the rest of us on this road.

So, if we’re honest with ourselves . . .

Ask yourself again, don’t you think happier would be nice?

There’s a line in the book that says . . . “Beyond our wildest dreams.”

I was puzzled by this one. Took me some time, and more than a few conversations with those I had come to rely on for guidance. I asked about it directly one night.

Like . . . What the heck does that even mean?
I mean it sounds lovely . . .but what does it mean?

I was told it means that life can get better than we can even imagine.
Really?
I didn’t know what that meant either!
But I had asked and thought I should sit with the answer for a bit before admitting
I had no idea what they meant by that.
To be honest . . . I’m still chewing on this one. . . daily in fact.
It’s an evolution.

What do you imagine your best life looks and feels like?
Can you picture it?

Now can you imagine it being even better?

While you’re chewing on that one, take a moment and think back on some of your past behaviors and activities. Were you a happy sort?

That whole thing about “keeping it green” that the old timers talk about . . .
Why we need to remember.

That’s because we have a habit of imagining that “it wasn’t that bad”.

Was it?
I mean was it that bad?

Are you coming to believe more deeply and honestly, that you could use some help?
Or even that you want to be happier?

Wherever you are with the concept of a Higher Power, can you see that you could use some help in having a happier life?
If we want a better life, doesn’t it make sense to listen to folks who have made this transition for themselves?

Isn’t it nice that we’re saying that it’s not only possible to have a happier life, but things can get better than your ability to even imagine they can?

And that you have help available? Pretty cool don’t ya think?

It’s in the promises . . . IF you have the capacity to be honest?

Can you get more honest with yourself?

Affirmation: I take some time today to reflect and get more honest with myself. Honest about my desire to have a happier life.
I accept that it’s going to take some work.
But I’m up for it!
A happier life . . . better than I can imagine!
Sounds good, doesn’t it? YES!

A New thought One Day at a Time – Feb 8

Day 39

Came to believe . . .

We’ve been talking about the concept of a power greater than ourselves.
The second of the traditional 12 steps.
We’ve been mainly focused on the Came to believe part.

But the full step is . . .

“Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity”.

That second half is a doosy of a concept, is it not?

I mean . . . if we need to be RESTORED to sanity, that says that we have been INsane to such a degree that we need to be restored . . . right?

That’s a whole nother conversation. We’ll get back to that one soon.

But today, let’s look at this . . .

Awhile back I mentioned the old adage of being “sick and tired of being sick and tired”.

Did that resonate with you at all?

Did it take you back to the early days of your recovery journey?

Do you think that you’re past those days?

Or do you think that concept never applied to you at all?

Perhaps these are the early days for you.

Usually, this line is looked at as an early in recovery idea. A way for folks to hopefully see through the part of themselves that’s been in denial, to see the truth more clearly.

This question is often asked when someone is trying to help us see through the haze.
Like, “Aren’t you sick and tired of being sick and tired?”

When we get to the point where we can admit this to ourselves, that’s when a major shift in our process occurs, and we see that we need to make some major changes.

If you’ve come out of a deep dive into addiction, that idea of being sick and tired of being sick . . . and tired . . . becomes emblematic of a “bottom”. One where folks find themselves in some of the more troublesome results of addiction life.

Lost jobs. . . Police and legal problems. . . Lost relationships and families in crisis. The whole nine yards. So much trouble that the person finally admits they need help.

And when we’re using and living in a way that’s clearly not good for us, we usually have some physical consequences as well. Like being very tired because we haven’t slept enough in a long time. And the wear and tear of the using takes a toll. Using can literally be causing us to be sick. Like having hangovers. But worse and long term.

Looking at things from the New Thought perspective it can be easy to overlook these aspects of our history. Easy to forget.

Was any of this your experience? If so, are you feeling like you’re past all of that now?

Or maybe you feel like you never really had those kinds of troubles and that wasn’t your fate at all.

Is that you?

If we’ve been on the journey a while and we’re down the road a ways, shouldn’t this line hit differently? Doesn’t that make sense?

I think this phrase can apply to us long after we’ve given up the stuff.

Here’s something to consider . . . what if this idea of being sick and tired of being sick and tired has . . . levels?

What if one way to look at this line is that it’s saying that we’re sick and tired of being stuck?

Maybe it’s about being stuck in some old pattern? Or multiple old patterns?

Ask yourself . . . where in my life am I stuck in a pattern that I’m sick of?

Like, holy moly . . . am I still doing THIS?

As we travel this road and if we’re doing our regular introspection, we will find that we seldom leave our old patterns entirely in the dust, never to be faced again.

Nope.

What we usually find is that we keep coming around to some central issues for ourselves. And if we’re honest about it, that can feel frustrating.

Are ya with me here?

So how do we break these old patterns?

As always it starts with awareness. . . As we become aware that we’re tired of being stuck in old patterns, we have more interest and motivation to go through some discomfort in order to change.

The first and biggest change is to let go of the using of substances and behaviors that we identify as our addiction, and that’s huge!

I mean really huge!

But as we go along, we begin to realize that was just the beginning.

Have you come to see that you have patterns that you are sick and tired of?

Affirmation – Today I see my patterns more clearly. I know that feeling of being sick and tired of them is a good thing! That lets me know that I am ready for change! I’m excited and ready to see where these changes will take me. What’s next? Should be fun!
