Good session today with Faith. Filled out the self injury sheet. Talked about it. Took notes.
For some reason, what used to be okay to accept as truth has now become detrimental and is a lie. I don't know how that happened but it seems to have happened. This is when recovery becomes a little confusing and you have to really trust the ones God has put in your life to help you get better.
What is truth? "Taking Radical Understanding To Heart."
What is taking? Grabbing hold of a new way to think, behave and feel.
What is radical? Mind blowing teachings of God as Father and Jesus Christ that wreck my distorted core beliefs.
What is understanding? Having head knowledge of the lies I am believing.
What is to heart? Applying the true beliefs, while connected to my emotions, as the distorted beliefs fade away.
Why do I do this? To live a recovered life, to feel recovered emotions, to think recovered thoughts and to behave consistently in all relationships.
Benefits: Peace in my soul, more genuine happy, less sad, more risk taking, less scared, owning my purpose according to God's plan for my life and running toward the goal as I grab the prize.
Went to the library. Picked up Donald Miller's book. Reading it and Ephesians. Going to go meet a friend's new puppy. That's a stretch since I only know her as Mrs. Claus! Want to take a nap but know the value of getting outside myself.
Happy Thursday!
