Summer Fun, Mindfulness and Self Care

Cultivating a Relaxed State of Mind at Home

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure; nor this thing nor that – but simply Growth.
We are happy when we are growing.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Irish Poet.

10 Tips Low Stress Work From Home School
Northern California Family Recovery – Homeschooling During COVID-19

With Stay Home orders extending into the summer – traveling to a favorite island vacation spot is not a good option in summer 2020.

Can individuals have fun, stay well and remain sober during this Summer of COVID-19?

It is possible to remain sober, balanced and happy – but it may require different tools than many of us are accustomed to using.

Summer 2020 Self Care is Essential

You have to believe in yourself.

Surviving and Thriving in the Summer of COVID-19

The uncertainty and stress of the current COVID-19 event is creating psychological trauma on a massive scale. Trauma is the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds the individual’s ability to cope.

Especially for those in addiction recovery, coping skills in relapse prevention and anxiety relief are essential. Let’s take a look.

Personal Growth in Addiction Recovery

New Start Recovery Solutions - Personal Growth in Addiction Recovery

Personal Growth Leading to Lasting Well-Being

Although no one would choose substance abuse and addiction as a pathway to personal growth – there is tremendous potential for personal growth in the recovery process!

Viktor Frankl was heavily influenced by his personal experiences of suffering and loss in Nazi concentration camps during WWII.

In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl explains that humans are motivated by something called a “will to meaning”. This equates to a desire to find meaning in life. He argued that life can have meaning even in the most miserable of circumstances. And, that the motivation for living comes from finding that meaning.

Frankl’s theory – known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (“meaning”) – holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained.
It is the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

Importance of Discovering Personal Meaning

New Start Recovery Solutions - The Importance of Finding What is Personally Meaningful

There is nothing like a pandemic for removing our everyday illusions about what is truly meaningful. For most, the Stay Home orders have in many ways brought everyday life to a grinding halt.

And now, many are asking some variation of: “Is that all there is?”

• Is working until exhaustion, then drinking and/or drugging to cope
(high functioning addict) – really a good long-term life plan?
• Is there anything else to life other than accumulating money?
• And if there is not enough money – is it possible to still be happy?
• What is really important?

These are the types of questions that often occur during addiction recovery. During the current pandemic – the Search for Personal Meaning has an urgency for those in recovery.

Finding Personal Meaning is important for anyone trying to cope with COVID-19 uncertainty.

The Mind Body Spirit Connection

New Start Recovery Solutions - Voyage of Personal Growth and Discovery Begins with Mindfulness

Victor Frankl believed that human beings are an entity consisting of Body, Mind and Spirit.

The experience of Spirit goes beyond any specific religion. Frankl argued that while we have a body and mind – the Spirit is what we are; it is our essence.

To gain stability in recovery (and for personal growth) it is critical to gain experience of our unique and individual spirit.

Personal Growth and Discovery Begins with Mindfulness

New Start Recovery Solutions - Mindfulness Meditation Benefits COVID-19 Relapse Prevention

Mindfulness Meditation Benefits

▪ Enhances Immune System
▪ Increases Blood Flow
▪ Provides Calm and Inner Peace
▪ Reduces Stress, Depression & Anxiety
▪ Increases Energy
▪ Creates a Space Between Thoughts
▪ Helps Identify Habitual Behaviors
▪ Develops Compassion: Self & Others
▪ Helps Reduce Habitual Reactions
▪ Experience of Personal Spirituality

At New Start Recovery Solutions, Mindfulness instruction is an essential part of our dual diagnosis addiction treatment.

Mindfulness provides skills and practices to loosen our identification with thoughts. This helps individuals to recognize that the content of a thought (and the resulting habitual emotions and triggers) are not absolute “truth.” By creating a space between emotional triggers and habitual reactions – individuals can create a permanent cognitive re-structuring away from self destructive and habitual addictive behaviors.

The Result?

Calmness, inner peace; and increasing compassion for self and others.

Many who practice mindfulness meditation experience a gradual and natural increase in gratitude. Another benefit of mindfulness meditation is personal growth and a deepening experience of personal spirituality.

Mindfulness is an essential skill for addiction recovery and relapse prevention at New Start Recovery Solutions.
