If not now then when will you ever feel ready?
Putting recovery off,
Holding back from implementing change,
Not moving forward because the timung doesnt feel right,
Waiting for another while because you don’t feel you ‘need’ to get better yet.
Putting it off doesn’t get you any further forward. It’ll feel more like a step backwards in the long term. Staying stuck isn’t the objective. It may feel safe to not make changes to behaviours because, let’s face it, we get used to the feeling of something becoming a habit or routine or first thought and action.
But where do you want to be in a year?
Still stuck?
3 steps backwards?
Continuing to act on harmful urges?
I think you are scared to change.
It’ll be uncomfortable and new and difficult.
But is staying the way you feel right now, where you want to continue being?
Or are there small steps you can include in your day to make a difference?
Little tip toes forward every day will add up in the long term and you will notice progress.
Maybe progress will come in different forms…
A wider, brighter, more genuine smile.
Interacting with others more.
Sharing goals and how you’re going to get there with your support network.
Take it slow.
Nothing will be perfect within seconds.
Understand the changes that need to happen.
Break them down in to steps.
Take it step by step.
I know you can, my friend.
Life is here to live, not just survive.
Recovery is worth it, but thats something you have to want to find out and prove to yourself.
Stay safe.
