Don't lose the real you

One of the first things I like to tell my clients is don't lose the real you. I also share this same approach with my own peers and friends who may be struggling with something in their life at this moment. Change is positive. Change can give self inspiration, hope, and pride. Change does not mean to forget who you really are. You all have the tools to change for the better. I fervently believe that. Some of us need friendly reminders how to use each tool for each thought, while still being who we really are. Others may be changing into someone they really want to be. Which can be a healthy thing. But, you still need to be the real you. What doe that mean? When self learns how to like them selves again, and begin to love their self, the real you is present. Addiction changes self, how we feel, how we act, how we present to other people. Behind this wall of addiction, you are still you. Once those boundaries are let down, and self is staying in their health, staying in the moment, self begins to enjoy life again. Self learns how to slow down, and appreciate the little things. When you are clean, eating and feeling good about your self, not gambling, and accepting your own sexuality, the real you begins to surface. You become stronger, and are able to work through your feelings in a positive way. Remember we all struggle, but we have the power to struggle in a healthy way! The real you is precious, beautiful, and worth something. Take someones hand, together we stand. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
