~ 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!

@Taali

When I look for Buddhish ... I get results mostly related to Death and Dying. Is that what you meant?

I have been interested in most forms of spirituality, but was told by a lady married to a Buddhist, not put Buddhism on a pedestal ... all the ... earthly manifestations ... are ... earthly. I found the rise in mindfulness in MH interesting, but not convinced its as a complete an answer as some suggest...

Love having you on the forum

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

No @Applebee's that's not what I meant at all

And I certainly don't think that Buddhism is a pure spiritual place for me

Only some aspects of the teachings seem to appeal to me

I don't believe any religious ideology has complte answer

And is not open to misguided and corrupt leadership

Sorry if you thought I was prompt it

It's just a matter of certain aspects like living a "kind and thoughtful " life and tapping into the self through mindfulness

I'm definitely not pursuing any kind of religious belief as I don't think blind and uncritical adherence is very dangerous indeed

I'm sorry if this sounds like im rambling a bit

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey @Taali sweetheart, I love your quote for today.

Hope the rest of your day treats you well. I too have been waking up early and then after some prayer and meditation I go back to sleep for an hour or 2. I still wake up tired though lol!

Love and hug 🫂🥰

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hi @ENELKI it seems to be a common problem for many of us here.

I guess I should be thankful that I can get a couple of extra hours 😌 sleep in.

I'm feeling quite good after my acupuncture today.

Going to take it easy so I don't undo the healing process.

Hope your day is going well, are you up to anything?
