Take Out the B.S.
Do you have certain beliefs or ways of thinking that no longer serve you?
Stuff that needs to go out to the dumpster but hasn’t quite found its way out yet?
Perhaps these are ways of thinking about yourself and the world that were once used for protection… for survival…
Maybe these ways of thinking - rather than providing protection - are now causing harm…
When was the last time you stopped to examine these beliefs? To question them?
Where did they come from? And more importantly, what can be done about them? If this Belief System is B.S., then how can you know the truth about yourself?
One of the really cool things about living as social creatures is the opportunity to see ourselves through the eyes of others. Try this little experiment the next time you’re with a close friend. Ask them, “What do you admire about me?” It takes courage to ask, but I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the answer!
I love what Rumi said: “Everything in the universe is within you.” I don’t know about you, but I still find this difficult to believe. I want it to be true! I’ve found, though, that one of the big steps towards believing the truth about me is to see myself reflected back to me by others who really know me. Then I can begin to sense the possibility that everything in the universe is in me.
Do you have a community that really knows you? That really gets you?
Do you have a place you can go where people will tell you the truth about who you are?
If you or someone you know is in recovery from substance use and ready to take the journey to the next level, I invite you to join us. If you’re ready to take the B.S. trash out, I invite you to join us. If you’re ready to hear, see, and feel the truth about you, I invite you to join us.
If you’re looking for an engaging and meaningful sober community, you’ve found your place!
Join me and others like you on Tuesday evenings beginning in April at the Boulder Healing Hub… Be changed… Be renewed…
“I put my hand in yours, and together we can do what we could never do alone.”
