Check in with us every morning to read a new passage and find your inspiration for the day.
We can stop making mountains out of molehills.
Letting go of other people’s choices can really help us stop feeling so stressed out all the time. When we stop obsessing over how things turn out, even when it involves us, it takes a lot of unnecessary worry off our minds. The more we focus on a problem, whether it’s our own or someone else’s, the bigger it seems to get. Why do we stress so much?
For a lot of us, it’s just become a habit. But luckily, through the Twelve Step process, we can learn how to let go of that worry. The key is having faith that our Higher Power will handle things. Once we stop trying to control everything, we feel way lighter, and the extra time and energy we get can be used for what really matters.
Today’s Affirmation:
My perspective today will be healthy. I’ll “let go and let God.”
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey, also the author of Each Day a New Beginning for women, she has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her own recovery from addiction started in Twelve Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
