We always talk about connection being the opposite of addiction. well today this was a slide at the NAADAC conference in Kansas City and I absolutely loved this take. Addiction isn't the problem. There is always an underlying problem or need. And so often, it's that disconnection, sometimes from self, sometimes from others, and a lot of times it's both.

Don't try to handle your troubles alone. Don't try to walk the darkness alone. Don't believe the lie that the dark side of the mind tells you: that nobody cares.
We care. We care so much. For so many reasons.

I can't not see a phoenix in this sunset. And I've been meaning to start watching the clouds again. It's one of those really cool ways to slow down and let go and reset, but sometimes I forget how effective that stuff is. Sometimes I forget I need it. Utah is rad. Show me your best sunset pics. I wanna see some cool clouds.
And tell me what you see in em

Sat in my Jeep for a good 15 minutes today and just watched it rain. Maybe it was my avoidance of the hail that started. Maybe it was what the body, mind and spirit needed to exhale, to slow down, to reset. Didn't check my phone. Didn't plan the next thing. Just sat there watching drops.
I'm not going to pretend that fixed everything. But I got out of that Jeep different than I got in. A different energy. But I also didn't get out alone. Yes, my boy came out with an umbrella to help me make the trek inside!
You don't need an excuse to take a minute. But if you were waiting for one, here it is.
You are good. You are enough. You are worthy. You are loved. You are incredible.
Sound on. Give it 60 or so seconds. And if you can, do a second round with deeper intention.

Happy Meditating my friends

Been in training this week and noticed this up on the wall. I love this phrase. I also hate how HARD it can be to let go of the behind. And there are so many behinds, so much stuff. So let me agree with this sentiment while also acknowledging so many things in this life, this healing journey, are really really tough to do!
But ask yourself this: am I holding on to something that belongs in my past? And if the answer is yes, set a little goal to take a step toward that letting go. Toward that freedom. Toward that peace. And you don't have to do it alone.

WalkIng into the hospital this morning and caught a glimpse of the work of a hero in our community. This is one of my favorite things to see. Bravo, heroes.
