~ 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!

Hi @PeppyPatti,

I’ve just caught up on your posts, thank you for sharing and keeping us updated

It sounds like you’ve had quite a lot going on with your family, but it’s really lovely to hear how much insight you’re gaining into what helps you and what you need

It also sounds like you handled that unexpected conversation about your mum very differently to how you might have in the past. Being able to recognise those feelings without getting to the point of collapsing or crying for days is a pretty big shift. You should be proud of that progress 😊

How are you going today?

MORE

You are more than you believe you are

and much more than you know

you have things within you that

you’ll use to evolve, to grow

More is something you can use

to help you elevate

to challenge and uplift you

and get you feeling great…

More Mindful is the first one

be present, still and calm

allow yourself to settle

release life’s great demands

take time to breathe more rhythmically

and slowly, in and out

you’ll get in touch with you again

learn why before the how

Open is the next pillar

don’t close yourself off, please

be open and enlightened dear one

close-mindedness must cease

In stages, open up more

be vulnerable, come clean

release the inner tension

held in they cause dis-ease

Reading is our third stop

take time to learn and grow

set aside some time each day

you are the seeds you sow

Take some to actually use

new knowledge you acquire

you’ll switch your game up naturally

and find you’re rising higher

Empathy’s our last one

it makes us truly human

to understand another deeply

enriches both the same

be kind in all you do to others

listen, love, and teach

be one who blazes trails

and offer kindness with your reach

More is where it’s at folks

a simple way to live

its easy to remember

and easier to give

Icaruslanded

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Lovely affirmations @MissGremlin

Hope you're going well

I'm just thawing out after a very cold football match.

And my team lost by a lot

Wishing you a peaceful night Taali
