What calms me down
In times where my mind is racing and I feel tempted to relapse I remember what I’m fighting for. I’m not just fighting for my future but I’m also fighting for everything I want. If you relapse then you’re just one step further from reaching your goals. When I get stressed or I’m on the verge of relapsing I look at the environment around and put myself in the moment. I take in my surroundings and slow my thoughts down, focusing on my breathing. Throughout the day I’ll listen to mu favorite music, but above all else I’ve found something that has invested me and lets me put it on in the background to listen to. I’m telling you mental health podcasts are top notch, the one that is the BEST in my opinion is The Zurkie Show. I know some people will hear podcast and groan but The Zurkie Show is more of a.. well, show 😅 He usually yaps about personal problems and common experiences in a more down to earth friendly way. He talks like a friend you’ve known your whole life and jokes with you but also gives strong advice and delivers reality checks. I don’t know if he’ll be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s definitely worth checking out! I’ll link his most recent video on spotify. He’s also on youtube and tiktok! Love yall and God bless! https://open.spotify.com/episode/5N1vqIVtbtrpuS9xWE8xu2?si=5wKvkVK3SxedRyvhfHlIVQ
