I have learned that it is ok to trip up, and that it can be as simple as tripping over
@Kempupkempdown
I like the analogy. :p Even tripping can get us somewhere.
Hi Everyone, I have reached step 180. Something I have been thinking about is the theory of Cognitive Dissonance. For more than 35 years I have been part of a very controlling organization. I have never understood until this time why part of me has been rebellious and it has made me anxious. Understanding the conflicting emotions inside me and the cause has helped me to cope with my feelings and to chart a course of wholeness into the future.
@alonesomeryder
Nice. Being able to look into yourself and figure out where the tangles of emotions is coming from is a really good skill to have. It's awesome to see you figure things out piece by piece, keep it up. :)
Meditation and gratitude work really well and I wanna give whoever recorded the last tape O listened to the biggest hug evarrrr EVAR
@kitroot
Not sure what tape that is or who recorded it, but sounds awesome that you loved listening to them that much. XD Stay amazing. :)
@kitroot
Meditation and gratitude are excellent tools for recovery! I'm so glad you've found these things, I hope they continue to work for you! ♥♥
(PS. yasss some of the meditiation voices are so amazing!)
@GlenM
Do not fear the unknown :)
@varganj
Oooh, I love that! ♥ Fearing the unknown is natural, but it can definitely stop us from achieving what we want. I'm so proud you've learn this lesson, I hope it does you well! ♥
@amazingrea
Thank you so much <3
@varganj
Someone (FDR :p) once said the "Only thing we have to fear is fear itself." I thought that was appropriate here. :p Keep on not being afraid to test the unknown. ^^

@JamesDc008 Failure is definitely part of life, even a positive part of life if we learn to accept it! ♥ *hugs* I like to remind myself of a quote by Woodly Allen: "if you're not failing every now and then, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative" ♥
Negative people are unimportant.
@WhiteBearClub
I'm glad you've learned to determine who you want in your life and who's dragging you down. ^^ Take care.
@GlenM
There is always something positive to learn.
@spbdp123
Wow, I really like that positivity you show. :) There are always things to learn, some bad some good but I like that you can see a silver lining for everything. :)
Step 30 - I was doing some mindfulness and gratitude journaling before I found 7cups but it really validated that I was indeed taking the right steps forward. I'm learning that there is really no quick fix, but I'll have to take time to work on it everyday. That's hard for someone with black-and-white thinking patterns like me!
@JuniperJuice
Woohoo! Step 30! ♥
I'm really glad that 7cups helped you to continue with that awesome progress you'd already made! Black-and-white thinking can definitely make things like this harder, but the fact that you know it can, shows me that you're likely to be able to do it anyway! ♥ Good luck ♥ (not that you'll need it :P)
7 steps completed 💙
