Retrieving Sanity

Sometimes, acceptance is hard to find, and sometimes, it's even harder whenever you don't have control over what you're trying to accept.  #acceptance #accept #youcandoit #ittakesalot #sometimes #holdon #strength #mentalmaturity #mentalawareness #energy #control #lackofcontrol #unacceptable #peace #serenity #positivity #negative #bad #good

Sometimes, we just have to "grow up" in a sense of how we handle and recognize our emotions. It's not always easy either. #growth #intellect #mature #maturity #reasoning #guilt #shame #positive #intelligence #growing #recovery #addiction #mentalhealth #looktothefuture

Simba said growth can be addictive in its own right. He didn't tell me that it could painful too. 

Sometimes, you just have to have a little Gratitude for the things in your life.

Heartbreak SUCKS!!! .... But what is Closure? How do we get it? Can we get it?

Keegan and Simba talk about the Connectivity that goes through with everyone and everything in life. What does connectivity mean to you?

Fear is a feeling that we all experience, in some way, shape, or form through our lives. We can utilize it though, but first we must understand it. 

Retrieving Sanity has been on the internet for a full year, and with that we get to relax and chat it up with Simba. We get to get down and talk about some of the things that make "Retrieving Sanity" what it is. 

Fear can be looked as  Face Everything And Rise or False Expectations Appearing Real This "Fear" is either a motivator, or a killer. We have to learn how to regulate how we let it push us. Will it push me forward? Or will it push me down?

Saturday is a supposed to be a day of rest. Sometimes, it doesn't seem like it, but relax and take a break every now and again. You need it more than you think. 

In this episode, we get to sit down and hear Oscar's personal story about his pain and how he was able to Recover. Take a listen and give the man some love!

Recovery is a vast topic, and it means more than just the healing and breaking free from the addictions that used to bind one.  Music used: "Carefree", "Fading Away", "Seasons Change", "Soul Search", and "Timelapse"  Produced by "White Hot" 

We all have trauma that we go through, and some people like to downplay theirs, or compare to others. Your pain, your trauma, your feelings are valid, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For better, or for worse, we have to really take a look at our own trauma so that way we can make room for healing in whatever way that we can. 

We all have to go trough change. Sometimes it's great, and other times, not so much. What can we do about it?

Keeping positive in life can be difficult, nay, impossible for some. The mentality that we don helps shape how we look at the world and what we can get out of it.  Keep going, one day at a time. One step at a time. You've made it this far, you can keep going!
