Positive New Starts in 2021
First, make a list. And to make lists more visually interesting – create a vision board.
Yes, we know it sounds trite. But it works! There is something about the physical action of creating a list or vision board that resonates with a deeper awareness. Even this small act of creation – and moving beyond inertia – is taking the first step for a new start for 2021.
A number of successful people, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, have used the power of visualization to achieve their goals.
First Step to Positive Change: Have a Vision
As a young athlete, Schwarzenegger swore by the power of visualization to reach his bodybuilding goals.
“If you don’t have a vision or goal of where you’re going –
you drift around and never end up anywhere.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“I had this fixed idea of growing a body like Reg Park’s. The model was there in my mind; I only had to grow enough to fill it,” he explained. “The more I focused in on this image and worked and grew, the more I saw it was real and possible for me to be like him.”
Later, when he transitioned to careers in acting and politics, Schwarzenegger said he employed similar mental tricks: “It’s the same process I used in bodybuilding: What you do is create a vision of who you want to be – and then live that picture as if it were already true.”
‘Rules’ for Success
Rule #1: Have a Vision.
Rule #2: Do Not Listen to the Nay-Sayers.
Rule #3: Everything always seems impossible – until someone does it.
Rule #4: Work hard and ‘stay hungry’ for reaching your goals.
Rule #5: Successful individuals fail – and they get back up and keep going.

“How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Really different, it turns out. Really better. Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement.”

Mindfulness Addiction Recovery and Relapse Prevention
Mindfulness refers to a moment-to-moment awareness of mental processes and habitual reactions – without judgement or acting on impulses (Mikulas, 2011).
Just 11 minutes of mindfulness training may help heavy drinkers cut back on alcohol, according to new research in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology.
Mindfulness involves learning to focus on the present moment.
Mindfulness guides practitioners to observe and acknowledge cravings without acting on them. And gives individuals the space to respond with compassion and the firm intention to remain sober.
With mindfulness training – addictive cravings and reactions are not destiny. With mindfulness, habitual impulses and trigger reactions are noticed and acknowledged – but there is no follow through with action. Holistic addiction recovery centers have incorporated mindfulness training into rehab and relapse prevention.
At New Start Recovery Solutions, the Conscious Recovery program is one of the concepts used in our dual diagnosis whole person addiction recovery programs.
Detox – The First Step in Addiction Recovery
You (or your friend or loved one) have resolved to stop using drugs or alcohol. Congratulations! This is the first step to regaining sobriety and the importance cannot be underestimated.
Now, detox from the addictive substance/s must occur. Recovery support begins with detox from drugs and alcohol.
The right detox program helps individuals through physical withdrawal symptoms and provides the medical assistance needed during this rough time.

Is Quitting on Your Own Harmful?
Depending on the individual’s history of abuse and medical and physical conditions – the severity of detox effects will differ.
However, the risks of detox for all serious drug and alcohol users can be dangerous. Detox should never be attempted alone. A sudden stop of drug and alcohol use can lead to seizures, heart attacks and strokes. In severe cases, unsupervised detox can even cause death.
A safe and comfortable detox gives patients the confidence needed to face their addiction issues – and begin addiction treatment.
Studies have shown that for long-lasting addiction recovery after detox – individuals benefit most by entering an inpatient or outpatient addiction rehab treatment program.
Treatment needs to be readily available. Because drug-addicted individuals may be uncertain about entering treatment, taking advantage of available services the moment people are ready for treatment is critical. Potential patients can be lost if treatment is not immediately available or readily accessible. As with other chronic diseases, the earlier treatment is offered in the disease process, the greater the likelihood of positive outcomes. Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment: A Research-Based Guide (Third Edition)
It is good to enter detox and remove harmful substances. But if after detox the individual immediately returns to substance or alcohol abuse – then detox was only a temporary solution to address the physical discomfort from an ongoing addiction.
Medical detox is one of the first steps in our continuum of care at New Start Recovery Solutions.
