~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Thank you @MissGremlin, I feel especially drawn to "the path forward will show itself, and perfection is not necessary"

Can be tough hey @Rosepetal96 and frustrating if we feel stagnated or stuck. Helps me to try to remind myself that progress in recovery isn't linear, and sometimes we don't see the impacts of our efforts until we look back after months or years and go 'huh, I guess I really have changed...'

Keep going, one step at a time. You got this! 💜

You're so welcome @PeppyPatti always happy to share and discuss!! 😊

Thank you @Jynx, in retrospect I wasn't able to complete 12 singular leg calf raises last month, so that indeed is progress...

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thanks @Jynx There's a lot to look at there. I like the one about thinking you're self-aware but am actually repackaging self-hatred if you don't acknowledge your strengths as well. It's a good reminder! I hope you're doing okay, Jynx. 💜
