~ 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 there's no such thing as too old!

Bahaha not even sure I know the correct terminology and I'm not even that old yet 😂.

.

Mindfulness is being awake to our own body and spirit responses. The moment our body/physical and spirit/emotional are out of sync stress will begin to build up into fear, hurt and/or anger .

They say 5 senses, but i say 7. For when we add 'Truth' and 'Love to' the list and you have all the ingredients for mindfulness to be effective.

Mindful is awaking to the reasons why we respond emotionally the way we do.

Mindfulness is letting go of the hurts of the past, and see them as life lessons. while we hold onto the good we know to be good, living in the present while building our future.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello and good morning to you @Taali! Lovely to see your wonderful self on here again today. Just did my routine health protocols may go off and do some weights. No TV so no grand final tomorrow. Dont particularly like TV. When Oprah ended her show it was about the time my TV stopped working and after that I decided I needed a TV detox. Havent watched TV in over 17 years lol. The best thing I ever did
