Tip 71 Dealing with Denial
Denial is one reason why recovery doesnt work. An addict who is chemically dependent is often forced into a treatment program. They will often be in denial since it wasnt their own personal choice to enter into a recovery program. Take some time to deal with the issues of denial before treatment begins. You should also take some time to identify areas of your life that need sorting.
One aspect of recovery should be to clean your house by taking care of the things that you have that are unfinished. This means wrapping up those loose ends that youve been avoiding for whatever reason. When you have unfinished business in your life it creates a chaotic feeling of unbalance that affects all areas of your life and prevents you from being as productive as you could be. These unfinished tasks can be as straightforward as physically cleaning your house to finishing that sales report that youve been avoiding for weeks.
Once youve identified the areas of your life that need cleaning, sorting, and completion you need to find the feeling of purpose that is going to inspire you to take the time and make the effort to change. You need to know that your purpose for balancing your life and cleaning your house is to clear your mind and give you the room to concentrate on whats important in your personal and your business life. When things are in place, both physically and in your mind, youll have more success as your work towards your goals. Your purpose should be clear to make room for the important things in life as you reach your goals and so that you can achieve recovery from your addiction.
One of the key aspects of personal power is the inner confidence to know that you can do anything you want to do. You can achieve the sales that you deserve because you have all the skills and techniques that you need to be successful. When you have personal power you have the assertiveness to do whats best for you and your recovery from addiction. Its this combination of confidence and assertiveness that is going to push you towards your goals and a help you achieve them. |
