Why do I blog?

I don't know about you, but I didn't get sober to be miserable. I had spent years trying to figure out this sobriety thing I was in and out of the halls of AA and treatment centers. And I had had various lengths of sobriety. But there seemed to be something missing, something I wasn't getting. There were times that I had felt peace and serenity but true contentment? What was that? Over the past few years, I have realized or recognized some of the key elements in the various programs that I had attended AA, refuge recovery, the different programs I was researching NLP, DBT, CBT, and I started listening to motivational speakers such as Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Mel Robbins, and Jens Sicero. All of them had similar approaches, although their techniques might have been a little different. I also was trying to find motivational speakers, particularly women in recovery, and I didn't see many actually; I didn't find any that I could identify with. So as I started learning these different strategies and techniques and started listening and realizing that there really isn't healthy women role models and recovery, I decided to take it upon myself to become one. The strategies I have learned over the years to stay sober and live a life create a life I don't want to numb from. It has been my motto, my mantra, and something I strive for continuously. And although I have achieved it, there are certain things that I do to maintain it. So I developed these blogs, videos, podcast to share some of my strategies with those that may be feeling the way I once did at the beginning of my journey. So if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling unfulfilled, if you feel that something is missing in your recovery, you might want to check out what I've learned and try to apply them in your life. Not only have they worked for me, but I have helped many addicts and alcoholics also achieve this level of recovery. It's not just about putting down the drugs and alcohol, and I'm sure most of you have heard that before and know that.

I have created 6 levels to a fulfillment that will help you increase self-confidence, motivation, improve relationships, and the ability to handle any stressful situation with ease. So if you're interested in learning how to create a life you do not want to come from, follow me here on motivations4u.com or check out my Facebook and Instagram at Recovery Enthusiast. I've also got a podcast for those who like to listen again under motivations 4u, and that's on Anchor and Spotify. If you really can't get enough of me you can check out my website where I have courses that you can take on these strategies at recoveryenthusiast.com

as always, stay blessed and live your life enthusiastically

How to Streamline Your Daily Schedule and Increase Efficiency

 Do you usually feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to do? Sometimes it seems like the laundry or the dishes will just have to wait until later. I know for me, when I let things accumulate, I get overwhelmed, and then I either don't do anything at all, or I look for a distraction, usually food or shopping. The thing still doesn't get done, and it's a perpetual cycle.    That's why   as hard as it is, we must do things when we need to. Otherwise, they don't get done at all. Or we find ourselves having to do them when we truly don’t have the time for them. Then, inevitably, something else has to be put off.   This scenario also applies to work. When a project has a deadline, it’s important to devote all of your undivided attention to it, or it won't get completed. Time management is a critical aspect of every job – from planning to executing.   Your schedule needs to be structured to support efficienc...
