WOW… This got to be one of my favorite videos from the bunch because you share something so personal and real. “I need a vacation from my vacation (have you ever heard that?)”. All those tips you gave to relax are helpful and necessary. Self-care is the #1 priority to heal and stay off drugs and alcohol, it is part of the maintenance stage. Very few understand the 5 stages of change, and you, my friend, have given a perfect example of the stage 5/maintenance stage. Being a therapist, while rewarding, can also be exhausting physically and mentally. Thus, we also need to exercise stages 4 and 5 (Action and Maintenance). One of the songs I used to play often, especially in the morning is from Van Halen, Jump! IN fact, my alarm clock was this song “I get up and nothin' gets me down, You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around, And I know, baby, just how you feel, You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real” This song got me inspired, motivated and energetic in the morning. We all need to find our motivations to keep rolling with the punches and face what’s real.
