May 21, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Saturday, May 21, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

From early infancy onward we all incorporate into our lives the message we receive concerning our self-worth, or lack of self-worth, and this sense of value is to be found beneath our actions and feelings as a tangled network of self-perception. — Christina Baldwin

Lifting our self-esteem is not a particularly easy task for most of us. It’s probable that again and again our confidence wavered before we sought help from the program. It’s also probable that our confidence still wanes on occasion. The old fears don’t disappear without effort.

But each day we can do some one thing that will help us to feel better about ourselves. All it takes is one small act or decision, each day. The program can give us the strength we need each day to move forward one step.

Today, I will do one thing I’ve been putting off. A whole collection of “one days” will lay the groundwork for the person I’m building within.
