Dynamic Balance Daily
Balance
The weather patterns of our earth could be thought of as dynamic balance. In that balance, the weather is constantly changing and balancing throughout the year.
The South Western United States has been plagued by drought for several years. This summer, the monsoons have moved in for some relief. Yesterday, on social media, posts showed floods instead of cracked earth.

The Fear Trap, Day 197
The Fear Trap, Day 197
Finger Trap
Do you feel that your life is stuck in the fear trap? The more you resist your fear, the stronger the fear, the tighter the trap?
A child’s toy, the Chinese Finger Trap, is a little woven tube. You put a finger in each end of the trap and pull the fingers apart. The tube becomes tighter and tighter, the harder you pull.
When you relax and push the fingers together the trap looses…

Our Monsoon season has begun, finally. The evening summer rains just brighten all the colors of the mountains. The trees just seem more green and sky seems bluer than blue. The colors have become a feast for the eyes.
Talking about feasts, how colorful are your dinners? There are studies that have demonstrated that the more colors you have on your plate, the more balanced your…

Destinations and Journeys, Day 194
Daily Steps
Last week there was a discussion on our Facebook feed about recovery. The question discussed was whether recovery was a journey or a destination. What do you think?
As I considered these words, my thoughts turned back to my childhood. On weekends we would often drive to visit our grandparents. Through out the drive we would always ask, “are we almost there yet?” We wanted to…

Uniquely You, DNA…Day 192
DNA
As you know, your DNA is what makes you, uniquely you. It is the communicator passed on from generations that denotes your hair color, your body type and even parts of your personality. This information is passed from generation to generation.
Even your risk for disease is passed on to you through your DNA. Your risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and others. It is called your…

Resilience, Support
Cave Rescue
Today, as I was reading the news on the Thailand soccer team that was rescued from the flooded cave, two words stood out…resilience and support. This soccer team of young men ages 11 yr through 16 years old were trapped in a cave for 17 days. How did they survive?
They were resilient. Through the limited food, uncomfortable sleeping and living conditions they pursued. Every photo…

Independence Day
Celebrate
What does “Independence Day” mean to you? Why do we celebrate our independence as a nation? What independence are you personally celebrating.
July 4, 1776 was the day the Declaration of Independence was published. It was publicly read on July 8, 1776. Gradually it became a Federal holiday. The celebrations developed over the next few years.
This day celebrated our independence…

Freedom Picnic, Day 186
Grillin Brauts
Tomorrow is the day the United States celebrates freedom. It is a day to get together with your family, friends and others at local parks and share a great American picnic.
It is also a day of risk for those in recovery. Many friends and families use this holiday as a day to share some beer with the brauts. It is really difficult to stay on your journey.

The south western United States is in a severe drought, which puts these magnificent forests at risk. Especially during holidays when everyone wants to barbecue.

Simple Pleasures
Friday began as any other Friday. I was a little tired and thankful that it was my last day at work for the week. As I entered the elevator, I encountered a well dressed professional lady. I said my usual “so glad it’s Friday” thing.
Her response took me by surprise. She said that everyday that she is upright is a gift. She is glad to be alive. You see, when she was born…

Comfortable Discomfort, Day 181
“I have to change!”
A true contradiction in terms. How can you become comfortable with discomfort. The very meaning of the word discomfort, uneasiness or pain contradicts the word comfort.
Comfort is desired. Our homes, cars and work are geared for comfort. Comfortable chairs, clothing and even computers have comfort in their design.
One of the reasons that alcohol and drug use is so…

Pain
Pain is one of the biggest obstacles in the recovery journey. There are as many causes for pain as there are people in recovery. Sobriety itself increases awareness, even the awareness of pain.
Alcohol destroys many body systems, including the nervous system. Heroin and other opioids replace the body’s natural pain relievers. It can take years for your body to replace those natural…

Have you been struggling to stay fit in the heat of summer? The summer solstice just past and we are dead into the hot dry season. The days are long and hot. It is tempting to stay indoors and relax on your easy chair with some ice tea and take a break.
That easy chair will not help you meet your fitness goals. To meet your daily walking goals, you need to plan ahead. The summer…
