Change

An easy way to fail is to try to change everything at once.  When we are riddled with problems, emotions, and failure and we know something just has to be different in our life, we tend to think its all or nothing when we think of change.  ie; from a crackhead to a Nun in one day.  Lets be realistic!!  It took a long time to get where you are.

A better lifestyle comes when we change one small thing at a time.  Make it simple like promising to do one good thing for the next 21 days.  Like put the dishes in the dishwasher after every meal, or don't drink or do drugs before noon. Promise yourself to not purge one meal a week, or be calm when you are wronged.  After 21 days it will become a habit, then work on another small thing.  Change comes when we see the small successes.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to peel away the onion layers of our confusing life, one layer at a time.  It's all done by simply committing to do it, one small habit at a time!!

Concealment

Life is broken down into elements of time.  Time for interaction with others, for our personal desires, and for thought processes.  When we do something wrong, then our thought processes become over ridden with guilt or ways to conceal our wrong doing.  This can lead to us trying to find ways of dampening those thoughts in some way.  This is the ground work laid for an addictive behavior.

Excessive use of substances, bad habits, or negative thinking is just a blister on our already over worked mind.  The best way to deal with this kind of wrong thinking is to expose the original sin, the very thing we are trying to cover up.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that none of the junk we conceal is original in any way and that others sharing the same wrong doing is quite healing for us.

Perception

Simply said; it's how we interpret the things we see based on the things we have learned.  Doesn't make it right or wrong, because the things we have learned may have been flawed in some way to begin with. 

Have you ever tried to do someone elses job of which you have no training and know nothing about?  We can assume it is done right but most likely it is wrong.  We missed  the one thing to give it longevity and to last.

Life is like that!  We go about collecting beliefs and traits through absorbsion, thinking all along that it is right and good.  The Bible tells us not to do that because when a time of testing comes then our piece-meal world falls away and burns up. Then we get angry at God??

Romans 8:7 says;  The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. NIV

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to see those flaws through our own realization.

Believe in Yourself

When we have a poor outlook of our self, we are open to addictive behaviours.  Thinking you are less than suitable, always short of any line drawn in the sand, or incapable of doing things well or at all.  At a time when your own personal success is but a distant dream and your happiness is attached to that. This is a low point that we take as the basis of the rest of our life, but that is just a lie that we tend to believe.  Things can always be brighter if we just keep trying and refuse to give up...

Turning to God with your whole heart, all your sole, and all your mind, is the way to prevent adopting destructive habits and wallowing in self-pity.  The Bible says that giving yourself to the care of Jesus Christ and seeking all things in Him, then you will be raised up.  Joy in the Lord is our strength.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that there are much better ways to deal with our problems other than covering it up with another problem.

Hurdles

When we have an emotional injury from childhood that hasn't been realized or properly dealt with, we have a predisposition to seeking a lifestyle that incorporates similarities of that injury.  Abused can seek abusers, addicts center their life around that substance, the abandoned crave any kind of attention (bad is the easiest), living without rules and you seek to manipulate, excessive cricitism can lead to depression & eating disorders, and the list goes on.

Hurdle #1 is when someone points that problem out in us. It may be very hard for us to accept it as "MY problem", so hurdle #2 is realizing we need help.  Once we piece our history with our actions, to our current problems, our demeanor starts to change.  Hurdle #3 is getting to the point that we realize this is a normal reaction when we finally admit our denial to the original problem.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to realize these things in ourself without someone pointing a finger at us.....but.....you have to be in the group first!!

Decisions

The one thing that is keeping us from being a truly whole person versus someone that is destitute in spirit and on the verge of complete failure, is a simple decision.  It won't be a grandious decision that will make us or break us, it is the simple decisions we have to make every day of our life.  The small thoughts that invade our thinking that appeal to our carnal desires.  Our insatiable wants to satisfy our greed, anger, lust, escapism, and negative habits.

A simple, "NO I don't want that in my life", versus "I'll start saying no tomorrow".  This is the make or break decision, the start of something better, or much worse.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us focus on the single small details, because every detail is on a thin black line between healing and hurt.

Revenge

No one likes it when someone seeks to get even with us, or us with them.  God hates it even more, when the NIV says: "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord." 

We've all done it and have all received it!  Hopefully it was out of ignorance to begin with, but God's word is very clear that a heart filled with malice makes God very angry.  It also goes on to tell us that we will be judged based on how we judge others, and if we do it with malice then that is doubly dangerous.  Ignorance can be forgiven, but evil thoughts towards someone with the malice simply to take revenge, is just taunting God.  I don't recommend that!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us ways to release control & bitterness, and come clean with our emotions.
