The non-judgment muscle is rarely flexed. For pride's sake, why not apply the most effective steroid to this muscle with a powerful injection of daily #meditation ?

Having faith is one of the most challenging things you will be tasked with in life. As a Christian you are saved by Faith. As a person in recovery you slowly latch onto the faith of the program, and what the old timers tell you to do. As an entrepreneur you channel your vision and start walking out in faith that your business and customers will manifest. My experience with faith is that I automatically respond to crisis in life without it. Faith is a muscle. Faith is a responsibility. Developing optimism is but a simple task of daily rewiring of mental impulse. I do this with the support of mentors. I engage this internal reworking with inventories, and I sharpen the path by leading and teaching others the liberating principles. Faith for me will always be a collective engagement. But, the more I flex this muscle and sharpen my beliefs around faith, the more people I tend to help summon it in themselves. So, go out there and encourage someone who might be at a low point in their faith today, and watch your collective anticipation of the future grow together. . . . . #perspective #addictionrecovery #mentalhealth #mentalillness #persistence #love #soberlife #soberaf #bettertogether #faith #spirituality

This not so subtle process of maturation and adjustment to life is not for the faint hearted. What seemed impossible in the morning, can by dinnertime seem a cinch. The path is rarely linear, but the persistent always claim victory. Head up, chest out. Today you are more than a conquer! . . . . #mindset #perspective #life #pain #suffering #soberlife #addictionrecovery #mentors #attitude #soberaf #tough #sobriety #mentalillness #cheerleader

As a male I know how little body image is discussed, unless it revolves around the circumference of a bicep at the gym, but it's time to light up the issue. I personally struggle from time to time with nobody image issues. Am I fat? I don't have a 6 pack. Am I tall enough ? Is my upper body strong enough compared to my friends or the guys I see on Instagram? The tummy is a highly impacted region, especially for anxious individuals who often carry tension in the stomach and solar plexus region. Worthiness issues when it comes to the male physique is very real and often just as layered as the opposite sex. The only difference is women encourage discussion around the topic while most men struggle in silence. Becoming more than your body is a process that we all need to address and love ourselves through. . . . . #bodyimage #fitness #gains #wellness #soberaf #addictionrecovery #mentalhealth #stressrelief #strength #justbreath
