Today is Day #135 of the Nar Anon Group Just For Today Challenge. I am also integrating the Live Happy into my Challenge. The Live Happy Challenge for today is to think of one thing you need to stay strong and focused.
The book says,
Think about what you would need to be grounded and focused if a crisis were to show up in your life five minutes from now.
What could instantly calm you and help you deal with a rise in possibly negative emotions?
Would a whiff of sandalwood help?
How about a shot of Brandy?
Would fingering your prayer beads of finding a place of absolute silenece where you could think and pray work best?
A crisis can arise suddenly and without warning. Whether it's an emergency, a cataclysmic natural disaster, or a financial catastrophe, a crisis often requires you to figure something out fairly quickly.
Knowing what will get you through the next minute and the minute after that can be as helpful as having an escape plan for the unlikely event that your house catches on fire.
Just For Today: I will stay focused and live today without fear.
From the book: Live Happy
The Devil At the Door is... Heroin. Heroin doesn't discriminate. It destroys lives and families and is robbing our community. These pages are the personal Chronicles of loving a child who uses and abuses heroin and opiates. You can also find what I hope to be helpful links, info and resources as well as sometimes whatever is on my mind at the moment... even an occasional venting!
