Staying Aware

Feb. 09

Emotional Awareness

"Awareness creates choice."

Today I observe my emotions instead of being consumed by them. Awareness brings freedom.

Mindfulness Cue:

Name what you feel.

Daily Prompt:

What emotion is present right now?

Affirmation:

I respond with awareness.

Prayer:

Lord we ask that you help make us aware of our emotional states and how to handle those emotions.

We all know how easy it is to get caught up in our emotions. The way they can just run wild and put impossible thoughts in our heads. It's easy to convince ourselves about something based on emotions rather than actual fact. It's important to remember like all aspects of recovery emotions are irrational but you are in control of them. Where we struggle, simply pray for peace and you will have it. What we can't control, He can!

let's start the week off strong. we hope everyone has a productive Monday. Stay strong, stay warm, stay sober. Recovery happens when you let it
