~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thankyou @Taali sweet ❤️.

I'm feeling very shaky, going to make a cuppa and feed Casper. Just need to take it slowly i think.

I've got no plans for the day. Have you got anything on today?

@MissGremlin

Yes, you must take it easy for now

Definitely nothing wrong with that

I'm visiting my sister (taking her cigarettes) and trying to fix her phone.

Then watching my football team probably lose on TV

After which I'm going to attempt to make my nephew's resume a little better

Then read my book 📖

Go gently dear friend Taali 🧡

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey? What's happening?

No little gems today ✨️

@MissGremlin

How am I going to cope 😫

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali hopefully they are approved soon!

Here's a little message to go with them today.

Life is hard enough without becoming your own harshest critic. We all make mistakes, have difficult days, fall short of our own expectations, and sometimes simply don't have the strength we wish we had. But that doesn't make us any less worthy, it makes us human.

So today please try to be gentle with yourself. Don't punish yourself for every little thing that didn't go perfectly. Don't let one mistake convince you that you're failing as it doesn't erase all the progress you've made. Don't measure your worth by what you managed to or not do today.

Speak to yourself with the same kindness you would offer someone you love. Give yourself permission to rest, to begin again, to learn, to grow, and to simply be.

You don't have to earn kindness, you deserve it always ❤️.
