Finding the positive

One of the most difficult things that new clients appear to struggle with is being able to find the positive in their life at this moment. Regardless of your situation, there is still positive energy to be found. Self does not benefit from holding on to negative energy from their past or keeping negative thoughts in their head on a daily basis. The negative can act as a spark to fuel your addiction cycle. Negative thinking, and thoughts do not help self. Positive energy is there, but, you have to search for it. Honesty and acceptance will help you uncover your positive energy know matter where your thoughts are at this second. Don't focus on how you messed up, or what you did not do, or what you lost. That is the past, it is what it is, right? Focus on how you want to get help, and how you are going to be honest with yourself, while accepting where you are at now! Making things bigger in your head do not allow self to stay in the moment. There are positives in every thought if you are willing to take the time and think about it. Many clients are what I call at the impulsive stage in their addiction. This is where any type of struggle is present, they become impulsive and look to continue their addiction cycle. Self needs to understand that impulsive behavior is risk behavior. You already took risks in the past, look where that got you. The positive is that you understand where that risk, impulsive behavior took you. It is not a surprise. Once you ascertain how your risk and impulsive behavior gets you into trouble, you can look to other positive thoughts that will encourage you to slow down your thoughts! Find the positive in what you know now! Use your brain to help you, instead of creating negative thoughts that lead you back to addiction without thinking things through. Positive energy is everywhere, you have the ability to find it. Learn to struggle in a healthy way where you are controling the thought, and allowing the positive energy to assist you through the urge or craving. You are intelligent, now use that knowledge to focus on the positive. Learn from your past mistakes, by allowing positive thoughts to keep you focused on what you can control. New clients need to slow down their thinking. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
