~ 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!

@DownMoreThanUp Hello lovely. How are you? Thank you these are all so true.

I really feel the way guilt impacts me. It creates so much anxiety and horrible thoughts …

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Cuddlebear i know i have been tortured like that as well for many years. Guilt painting me blackest black tormenting me instead of helping me be different than it made me to be.

Talk about thistles!

This is why i like this singer a lot about that. For he really sums up the issue in this song about us when we heed guilt and shame, who hurt us because we care about wrong, and as such steal our light of day, rather than hold onto who we really are!

For you know my friend, you are someone who does not want to be and feel wrong! Nothing wrong about wanting to be like that surely?

So please my friend kick the voice of guilt and shame out in the the darkness they create, and never give them opportunity again to torment you, loving yourself right, by turning your back on the wrong hurting you.

A very sobering song when we've been dining on guilt. So please do not let guilt get you about this!🤗

(i always like the anticipation finding more wisdom out there!👍)

Negative charge only useful empowering a postive charge to power our point.To write to yourself your own life story will colour the black and white and rewrite the grey areas of your life.A fixed mindset is like a locked treasure box without The Key. While an open mindset always adds more treasure YOU to be............Putting depressed life upside down elevates Highest High.Mental constipation holds onto the crap of our daily input our brain should get rid of us digesting it.Negative thinking scrambles thoughts into a dark confusing mess instead of the clear visions postivite thinking provides us.A positive charge on a positive charge, or, a negative charge on a negative charge does in NO way equal the Spark a Postive Charge charge on a negative charge produces........(See The Light?)
