I'm reminded that when the pain comes it's my wake up call. Pain means I need to take a look at something I'm thinking or believing that isn't true. Then I let. It. Go. I am now free to build a life that I don't regularly need to escape from in anyway. . . . . . . #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family #dailyreflections #recovery #sober #mom #mentalhealth #sobermomtribe #happy #joyous #freedom #love #God #sobermom https://www.instagram.com/p/B89XPD3gi8Z/?igshid=1153gukch9imb

I felt shamed today. It's the first time in a long time that I felt that sad feeling of my worthiness being attacked. I value people's opinions that are well thought out and constructive. Shaming and criticizing is just bs and a great way for the people in the cheap seats to throw things at people because they are too scared to work on their own issues. I don't let people bully or shame me. I still love them but buttons get pushed and I don't need their opinions, I've got a God. ❤ . . . . . #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family # #recovery #sober #mom #mentalhealth # #happy #joyous #freedom #love #God #sober https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGcO9uHOdK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yamt3mfv2z89

This beautiful baby doesn't wake up in the morning discouraged because she didn't get something the first time. She doesn't think about the anything that happened yesterday and she doesn't live in fear of tomorrow. The gift we have as young children is being present. I can come back to the now at anytime during the day. I love this sweet face, she made smile.😍❤ . . . . #freedom #anxiety #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family #recovery #mentalhealth #sobermomtribe #happy #joyous #selfworth#joy #present #specialneedsmoms https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvj6wEFHxit/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14mv5j5jay85j

I'd start a new gym, diet, a new course, a group and as soon as it got really hard, I'd make an excuse and quit. 😏 . . . . Work on myself isn't easy and growth can be painful but I'm doing my best with integrity so I'm learning to trust myself more and more. . . . . A few years ago I went back to school to get my master's degree. I was terrified. It had been 15 years since I'd been in school. I just didn't panic, I broke everything up in simple steps at first. Slowly I began to relax and trust myself.. .. . Like the steps I've taken getting back into school, if I have humility and remain willing to learn this next chapter will be even better because so much fear has been removed. . . . I didn't need to know that I could finish college, I just had take one step at a time. . . . . #freedom #anxiety #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family #recovery #mentalhealth #sobermomtribe #happy #joyous #selfworth #humility https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfmlTjn3Ig/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lq5tn6iq0etl

I used to pray but I didn't know what living by faith meant. I assumed it was for people that were more spiritual or they were more naive. I never grasped this concept of a problem being an isolated incident, not part of who I am. The other thing I struggled with is understanding that bad times don't last forever and neither do the good. The truth is no matter the situation I am not my problems. That uncomfortable feeling of not knowing how to fix something, or discomfort can be squashed by living in the present moment. That is what faith is for me today. Not living in the past, or thinking about the future but staying in the moment. . . . . . . #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family #dailyreflections #recovery #sober #mom #mentalhealth #sobermomtribe #happy #joyous #freedom #love #God #faith #present https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJaIvQnatc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zmdlh3n455c8

I am not sure when the light went on but one thing came up over and over and that was acceptance. I did not argue out of my beliefs because I realized that my beliefs didn't stop me from getting sick. Once I started to see that in every area of my life that I was suffering I could find freedom all I had to do was suspended my ego. I found the less I resisted the faster I was learning and the faster I was learning the better I was feeling. All that pain started to become rocket fuel for change. All I had to do was stop fighting the process. ❤ . . . . . . #spiritualife #GodisEverything #anewfreedom #family #dailyreflections #recovery #sober #mom #mentalhealth #sobermomtribe #happy #joyous #freedom #love #God #sober https://www.instagram.com/p/BuOlOysnM6O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fq0hla7sb83n
