Letting Go of Resistance


Do not be in such a hurry to move on.


Relax. Breathe deeply. Be. Be in harmony today.


Be open. There is beauty around and in us today. There is purpose and meaning in today.


There is importance in today - not so much in what happens to us, but in how we respond.


Let today happen. We learn our lessons, we work things out, we change in a simple fashion: by living our life fully today.


Do not worry about tomorrow's feelings, problems, or gifts. Do not worry about whether we can trust life, our Higher Power, or ourselves tomorrow.


Everything we need today shall be given to us. That is a promise - from God, from the Universe.


Feel today's feelings. Solve today's problems. Enjoy today's gifts. Trust yourself, life, and your Higher Power today.


Acquire the art of living fully today. Absorb the lessons, the healing, the beauty, the love available to us today.


Do not be in such a rush to move on. There is no hurry. We cannot escape, we only postpone. Let the feelings go, breathe in peace and healing.


Do not be in such a hurry to move on.


Today, I will not run from my circumstances, my feelings, or myself. I will be open to others, Higher Power, my life, and myself. I will trust that by facing today to the best of my ability, I will acquire the skills I need to face tomorrow

Recovery releases our creativity.


Creativity implies something new -- feeling, thinking, acting in a new way. When we step out of a familiar pattern, we often feel anxious. We wonder if the new way will work or if a new venture will succeed. We take a chance, a risk, and that requires courage.


If we refuse to tolerate a certain amount of anxiety, we will stay in our same old ruts. Safe? Perhaps, but stagnant. And maybe not so safe after all, since the opposite of growth is death.


You and I can live creatively if we are willing to have butterflies in our stomachs from time to time. Recovery releases us from old patterns so that we can try new ways of responding to the opportunities we are given each day. Believing we are supported by a Higher Power gives us the courage to take risks, especially when the outcome promises emotional and spiritual growth.


Today, I will dare to follow a creative inner prompting, even if I feel some anxiety.
