STRESS:

Inevitably, there are times of stress in our
lives, no matter how long we've been in
recovery.

Sometimes, the stress is outside or around us.
We're feeling balanced, but our circumstances
are stressful. Sometimes, the stress is within;
we feel out of balance.

During stressful times, we can rely more
heavily on our support systems. Our friends
and groups can help us feel more balanced
and peaceful in spite of our stressful
conditions.

Affirming that the events taking place are a
temporarily uncomfortable part of a good,
solid plan can help.

It helps to go back to the basics – to focus on
detachment, dealing with feelings, and taking
life one day at a time.

Our most important focus during times of
stress is taking care of ourselves. We are
better able to be there for others, if we're
caring for ourselves. We can ask ourselves
regularly: What do we need to do to take care
of ourselves?

Self-care may not come as easily during
times of stress. Self-neglect may feel more
comfortable. But taking care of ourselves
always works.
