Surprising Benefits of Failure: Why Losing Can Lead to Winning

The Paradox of Loss: How Losing Can Help You Find Success

Why Losing Can Be the Key to Winning: The Surprising Power of Failure

Losing is never easy, and it can be especially difficult to see the silver lining when we suffer a setback or failure. However, it’s important to remember that failure is a natural and inevitable part of life, and it can actually have some surprising benefits.

One of the most valuable benefits of failure is that it can help us learn and grow. When we fail, we are forced to confront our weaknesses and areas for improvement, and this can be a powerful motivator for personal growth. By learning from our mistakes, we can develop new skills and strategies that can help us succeed in the future.

In addition to providing opportunities for personal growth, failure can also help us build resilience and determination. When we face challenges and setbacks, it can be easy to become discouraged and give up. However, by pushing through and continuing to strive for our goals despite failures, we can develop the mental toughness and persistence that are essential for success.

Fail 4 Success

Another benefit of failure is that it can help us become more creative and innovative. When we’re faced with a problem or challenge that we can’t solve using our usual approaches, we’re forced to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. This can lead to the development of creative solutions that we might not have considered otherwise.

Why Losing Can Be the Key to Winning

Losing is never easy, and it’s natural to want to avoid it at all costs. However, it’s important to remember that failure is an inevitable part of life, and it can actually be a key to eventual success.

One of the primary ways in which losing can be the key to winning is through the opportunity it provides for personal growth. When we fail, we are forced to confront our weaknesses and areas for improvement, and this can be a powerful motivator for change. By learning from our mistakes and adapting our approach, we can develop new skills and strategies that can help us succeed in the future.

In addition to personal growth, failure can also help us build resilience and determination. When we face challenges and setbacks, it can be easy to become discouraged and give up. However, by pushing through and continuing to strive for our goals despite failures, we can develop the mental toughness and persistence that are essential for success.

Another way in which losing can be the key to winning is through the potential it has to spark creativity and innovation. When we’re faced with a problem or challenge that we can’t solve using our usual approaches, we’re forced to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. This can lead to the development of creative solutions that we might not have considered otherwise.

Finally, failure can also help us develop a more realistic and healthy perspective on life. When we’re constantly achieving our goals and experiencing success, it can be easy to become complacent or overconfident. However, by experiencing failures and setbacks, we can learn to appreciate our successes more and become more humble and grounded.

In conclusion, while losing is never pleasant, it can be the key to eventual success. By learning from our mistakes, building resilience and determination, becoming more creative and innovative, and developing a healthier perspective on life, we can turn our failures into opportunities for growth and success.

The Silver Lining of Loss: How to Turn Your Failures into Wins

Sobriety Diary Over 55 Years Old

Observing the good and bad of sobriety

Over 55 Sobriety Journey 

I’ve tried to tread this path before. Not entirely seriously or with deliberate endeavour. However, I know it is the best thing for me. I just haven’t had the single-minded objectiveness till now. To help me complete the journey, and to look back at where I’ve come from, I thought I would journal my trip that has no final destination in my lifetime. With the exception of death, I can’t say I have completed the sobriety journey, but where else on my journey to alcohol-free death will my sobriety journey take me for the rest of my life?

FIRST 2 WEEKS OF SOBRIETY

I’ve been here before. The longest to date without drinking is around five months. That, so far, is a echoed in my first two weeks of my sobriety journey. Essentially for the first two weeks or so I just have to get through it any way I can. If that means eating more sweets than is healthy – I’ll do it. If it means i have to just slob out – I’ll do it. If it means I have to withdraw from doing things I normally enjoy – I’ll do it. There is no right or wrong except making an excuse to have just one drink thinking it’s a small cheat. That is cheating myself big time. Living an unhealthy lifestyle for a couple of weeks is not ideal but I don’t try to be perfect. My longer game benefits from stopping drinking will make up for a couple of weeks of downtime. The first moment I wake up feeling amazing instead of dull lacklustre or empty is the best feeling in the world bar none – and I mean none! The free high you experience that morning, I must try to remember and be grateful for. Gratitude is the key to happiness. 

Switch from beige life to a life full of all colours turned full on to the max!

Sobriety Diary

The first couple of weeks is always a de-pickling of the brain for me! I have had lots of periods which I have refrained from drinking alcohol. The first couple of weeks has always involved a physical change in the brain and a short period of mental numbness. Physical change claim, I am not a doctor, may or may not be true. There certainly seems to be what I call brain shrinkage. My brain seems to physically gurgle as it unsticks itself from my skull! This is why my medically untrained mind guesses that it is my brain shrinking due to the lack of alcohol? FYI, I do not intend to explore the physics or science behind my sobriety journey. It is my experience of the journey that I am journaling, not the medical facts of my sobriety journey.

I am only still sober one hour at a time. Maintaining sobriety is sometimes about not having a drink in the next 5 minutes never mind the next hour, day or month.

Sobriety Diary

I wouldn’t say I have failed before. I have never promised myself I would never have another drink before. I have had an aspiration before to not drink ever again. However having an aspiration is different from an objective. This sobriety journey is now a key goal in my life. Previously, the periods of not drinking have always come to an end before I died. This time, my goal is to die before I have another drink!

Sobriety is not my only goal. It will be a key part of totally changing my life. I need the clarity of thought that comes with sobriety to be of sharp mind when making dynamic lifestyle decisions. From my previous episodes of giving up drinking, I know that not drinking sharpens the mind. That benefit as always in the past been surrendered when I returned to drinking again. Even although previously sobriety was not the objective, I knew in my own mind that drinking again was a mistake if I wanted to live the best life I can live. So the return to drinking was always with immediate joy and delight from the alcohol high hit, shortly followed by different levels of regret, disappointment in myself and even sometimes shame. I’ve always known in the past what my best life involved and that doesn’t include drinking alcohol. In the past I have made different excuses to drink again, but this time I will have no excuses. This sobriety journey is a definite life goal. This time if I drink I will have failed.

This sobriety journey will encompass a total change of life. If there is such a thing as a wrong decision, then my clarity of thought that definitely comes with every period of alcohol abstinence, will be crucial to my new radical lifestyle changes. My first 2 weeks of being alcohol-free has come to an end with the usual glorious couple of mornings when I wake up incredibly happy. An overwhelming feeling of happiness burns inside my belly. It is not a smug joy. It is not a self-satisfied or selfish joy. It’s simply my mind discovering that my body has completed its first stage of repairing my brain. My brain is signalling it has recovered from the toxic abuse I have put it through most of my life. My brain is saying thank you. At last it can work again unhindered by the chemicals from alcohol inhibiting my minds ability to think properly. 

When I awake in the morning I am immediately aware of how happy I am. It is important for me not to get up. This moment is to be savoured. It will be the best moment of my day. I must spend a few minutes being even more aware mindful and grateful for this feeling of joy and delight to be alive today. I breathe more deeply slowly and deliberately through my nose only whilst observing all my senses more acutely to heighten the high I am now experiencing. I am now aware my nose is unblocked even though I did not know my nose was blocked over the last weeks months and perhaps years. More air is rushing to my lungs and my brain is lapping up the new boost of oxygen. Gradually sometimes immediately I am aware of new ideas of what to do today tomorrow and the rest of my life. Ideas I may  not know I was even thinking about before or ideas of how to solve problems I was struggling with yesterday. I know I need to dictate these ideas or writing them down type them into my phone so I do not forget these gems that have come into my life today. Without trying without asking without even needing, the universe has found the next steps to a better life specific to my life. I think the absence of alcohol over the last couple of weeks has deepened my sleep pattern. My brain has had a chance to rejuvenate, repair itself and understand what happened yesterday the day before or last year. My brain better understands what I want in life, and has mapped out what I need to do today tomorrow and the rest of my life but has only given me a few of the next steps I need to take. I am not greedy so I do not try to force these next baby steps into a full lifestyle plan and take them for what they are without trying to complete a jigsaw of my life. I need to be grateful for the little steps given during the night. Tomorrow I may be fortunate enough to receive more insight into how to change my life for the better, but for the moment I am just ecstatic that I have been placed with acute happiness. Not only have I woken up happier, I know what to do today to have a great day.

Sobriety Diary

Reaching this stage should be enough for me to never drink alcohol again. The payoff of not drinking is huge mentally and physically, but I know the demons within me are just resting. They are waiting for the right time to obscure the benefits of not drinking. If I am to complete my sobriety journey I will have to be more alert to the moments that will trip me up and end my sobriety journey. In the past I have not always failed to navigate the demons that dragged me back into a mediocre life. On at least one occasion I set out on the not drinking path without a a clear destination. Along the way, I picked a clear destination in terms of months ahead where I would drink – a planned holiday. I didn’t want to go on holiday and not drink. This helped to keep me on the path of not drinking but ultimately was a self defeating goal to set for myself. Mission completed with me drinking again! This time it’s different. My mission will only be completed if I never drink again. Why don’t you come along for the ride.

THIRD WEEK

Every day of not drinking in the third week has been better than any day of drinking.

The third week this time around is different from the third week on previous sobriety projects. On previous projects to remain sober, the third week was a lot harder. On reflection it is easier this time because my sobriety journey this time is to never drink again, as opposed to not drink for as long as possible, or not drink for a defined period.

If you are remaining sober for as long as possible, you are not sure when it is okay to have a drink or not. In the past I have given myself a pass or time-out. If you are aiming to never drink again, then obviously there is no day upon which it is okay to have a drink. Strangely, this time around it is easier to not drink in the third week now I have set the goal of never drinking again. Giving myself the clear unambiguous goal of forever stopping drinking has made it crystal clear what is and what is not acceptable. Knowing what failure looks like this time is obvious so as totally eliminated the option of having a cheeky drink and restarting the clock on my next sobriety timer project. The “I’ll do better next time” mentality.

What is consistent in the third week is the amount of extra energy I have. Boundless extra energy is one of the major gifts of sobriety. I can and do do so much more than any week I have had even a single drink. My focus on my life without a drink in it enables me to be hyper productive. Being more productive does not make me more successful this week but hopefully I will be more successful in life in future as well as sober. What success in life looks like is for me to determine – no one else. Success this far at not drinking is both a blessing and a potential trap. It can, if you allow it, present an opportunity to have a drink to celebrate! I’ve earned it! However, this time I have combined my sobriety journey with other major life change projects. These other projects soak up the extra time and energy I have from not drinking and make giving up drinking even more rewarding for me. The extra energy will not be wasted this time.

I think it is a good idea to have a clear plan of what I am going to do with the rest of my life. I can then invest the extra energy derived from not drinking to achieve more in my life than just sobriety. Even if my plan is a little more vague and uncertain than many would have, I at least have a vague idea of what a better life looks like for me. My life, like most perhaps, does not enable me to just do what I want. I have to have alternative routes loosely imagined or envisioned so that if life does not give me the opportunity I think is best for me or anticipated by me I can at least use plan B,C or D to find my way to my end destination or at least a new destination that is as equally satisfying and rewarding.

If I was just being sober for a set period, then it is best for me to have a full day. By this I mean I need distractions. Activities – distractions – help me to avoid creating opportunities for drinking and could include walking, cycling or doing a hobby. Whatever takes my mind and free time off drinking. However, as my plan is to be sober for the rest of my life, I feel I really need to capitalise on the gift of extra energy to really embroider upon the obvious health benefits of being sober. In my case, I am investing the extra energy into a more serious approach to my business ideas including the creation of more income.

This week I have made the mistake of not going to bed earlier. By earlier I mean 9 to 10pm in the evening. It has resulted in me still waking early in the morning absolutely refreshed, but flagging in mid to late afternoon. In my semi-retirement, I am lucky that I have the option of having a nap. but this for me can be lethal in terms of disrupting my enjoyment of life. I find it better to push through and not nap if I can, but sometimes a nap is the best option as it can give a little boost.

This does depend on whether you are a night person or a morning person. Going to bed between 9 and 10pm is the optimal time for me but I do recommend going to bed at same time every single night and your body should adjust to wake you up at same time every morning without an alarm clock. The benefit of this is that your body is more balanced if you have consistent lifestyle pattern, in my experience.

A peculiar thing I have found from my bouts of not drinking is that the odd days can be harder than the evens! 1,3,5 etc have been harder than 2,4, 6 etc days. I have absolutely no explanation for this. It is however worth noting that some days are harder than others for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I think it wise simply to accept this rather than search for reasons or lessons.

Aiming for sobriety

In addition, life can get in the way of best laid plans. A birthday, works event or some other social occasion create opportunities to make excuses to have a drink. Navigating past these pitfalls is perhaps the hardest part of a change to sobriety. I need to have a plan for such threats of failure. Soft drinks or alcohol-free drinks work for some but not giving a damn what others think of you is the best plan. This involves me not drinking anything at all. After the first couple of drinks rounds have passed I realise I can not only cope but enjoy alcohol-free socialising. After the adrenaline on arrival subsides I love the dawning of the fact that I really don’t need to drink alcohol to enjoy myself. There does come a time after half a dozen drinks that you become detached from from your drunk companions. They are on a different mission from me. I can’t go with them. I have to pick a time to leave early. The feeling of leaving early becomes a relief or even elation not sadness. I don’t have FOMO any more. Remembering how good I am going to feel tomorrow is reward for leaving early.

FOURTH WEEK

My fourth week was a strange week. An unasked review of my life. Happy to live in present, I found my mind wandering off on its own to the past.

I had not set out on my sobriety journey to discover were things had gone wrong in my life. Where I was four weeks ago in my life was quietly happy with the exception of my drinking habit. I knew back then drinking did not provide a nett benefit to my enjoyment of my life. Strange therefore that my mind repeatedly wandered off into the past to look at my life differently via new unglazed goggles.

Turns out my successes in the past may not have been successes and my failures have been my successes. Furthermore, I think now that drinking has never made my highs better and always played some role in my lows. I used alcohol to try to feel part of the perceived in-crowd or part of the team or even just part of the perceived best things in the world. I think I wanted to merge-in instead of trying to be extraordinary.

Alcohol didn’t help me merge-in. It made me zone-out. The numbness to life under the effects of alcohol wasn’t a good thing. At times I needed to feel numb, not to feel more alive. I know now that living life alcohol-free makes me feel so much more alive. In the bad old days, most of my life, I mistakenly thought alcohol was good for me when in fact it was never good for me at any time. Happy and sad times were always negatively impacted or made worse with alcohol.

Now both my happy and and sad times are so much better experienced sober. Being sober does not make my life less troublesome. It does enable me to manage the good and bad better. Being sober does not make my life better. Being sober makes your appreciation of living better and gratitude for what I do have in my life more real. Being sober makes me happier, even if my life could be perceived as less attractive or unsuccessful.

The success of my life is measured better by me doing the analysis of me rather than concerning myself with other people’s assessment of my life. Having a clearer sober mind facilitates better more honest quicker trustworthy calculations by me. Being sober may not make me more successful in my lifetime, but it will enable me to love what does transpire in my life more.

Sobriety does not make me less ambitious. Sobriety makes me more confident and focused on my ability to make the right choices for the right reasons and that will make my assessment of my life better.

Another curious physical change I find during sobriety is what I call the physical drying-up sensation and unblocking of my nose and sinuses. I can breathe through my nose and sinuses. I can breathe through my nose more freely. Not sure what the medical reasoning may be for this, but each and every time I have stopped drinking for a period, this physical experience occurs!

FIRST TWO MONTHS SOBRIETY

The biggest gains physically and mentally come in the first month to 6 weeks. That’s when the biggest differences can be felt. Definitely, the decision to give up drinking forever makes it easier to give up drinking. A clear unequivocal commitment with no get-out clause helps me to set my mind on what is right and wrong.

The second month is easier than the first month. There is more at stake, more to waste, if I give up in the second month, by my desire to drink in the second month us is less.

There is a feeling of further clarity of thinking unencumbered by drink in the second month, it’s just not as obvious an improvement witnessed in the first month.

All-in-all this should monthly stoppers some encouragement. Those flirting with giving up for good. If you can do one month you can easily do two, etc. Furthermore, returning to drinking after a month off with a view of having another month off sometime in future is harder than giving up for good. The first month off seems to be the hardest.

Drink-free is more rewarding. More satisfying. My mind is more capable to appreciating my life. More grateful for what I have in my life. It can make the bad more raw, but it makes the good better. Not drinking gives me a more genuine experience of life. Sure alcohol can anesthetise the bad but it also anesthetise the good experiences.

Living a more real life without alcohol is my life now. Maybe it could be yours too. It’s not as hard to give up drinking if your mind is clear why you want to give up drinking.

From Addiction to Abstinence

Quitting alcohol can be a challenging but life-changing decision. Whether you’re struggling with addiction or simply looking to lead a healthier lifestyle, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you on your journey from addiction to abstinence.

Recognise the Problem: The first step in quitting alcohol is acknowledging that you have a problem. Be honest with yourself and evaluate the impact of alcohol on your life, including your health, relationships, work, and overall well-being. Accepting that you have a problem is an important starting point for change.

Set Clear Goals: Once you’ve recognised the problem, set clear and achievable goals for quitting alcohol. It’s important to define your reasons for quitting and what you hope to achieve by abstaining from alcohol. Whether it’s improved health, better relationships, or a more fulfilling life, having clear goals can provide you with motivation and direction.

Seek Support: Quitting alcohol can be challenging, and it’s important to have a support system in place. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist who can provide emotional support and help you stay accountable. Consider joining a support group, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which provides a community of individuals who are also on the journey to sobriety.

Develop Coping Strategies: Alcohol often serves as a coping mechanism for dealing with stress, anxiety, or other emotions. When quitting alcohol, it’s important to develop healthy coping strategies to replace alcohol as a means of dealing with difficult emotions. This can include practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in physical exercise, journaling, or seeking professional help if needed.

Remove Triggers: Identify and remove triggers that tempt you to drink. This can include avoiding places, people, or situations that trigger cravings for alcohol. Make changes in your routine or lifestyle to minimise exposure to triggers, and create a supportive environment that promotes abstinence.

Create a Plan: Develop a plan for how to handle cravings or temptations. Have a list of alternative activities or distractions that you can turn to when cravings arise. Identify healthy outlets for stress or negative emotions, such as going for a walk, talking to a friend, or practicing mindfulness.

Take Care of Your Physical Health: Quitting alcohol can have physical effects on your body. Take care of your physical health by eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise. Seek medical attention if you experience withdrawal symptoms, and be mindful of any underlying health conditions that may have been exacerbated by alcohol use.

Practice Self-Care: Sobriety is a journey of self-care. Take time to prioritise your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy, practice self-compassion, and prioritise self-care as an essential part of your recovery journey.

Stay Accountable: Hold yourself accountable for your decision to quit alcohol. Keep track of your progress, celebrate your achievements, and learn from any setbacks. Surround yourself with supportive people who can help you stay accountable to your goals.

Create a New Life: Quitting alcohol is not just about giving up a habit, but also about creating a new, fulfilling life without alcohol. Explore new hobbies, discover healthy ways to have fun, and focus on building a meaningful and fulfilling life that aligns with your values.
Remember, quitting alcohol is a personal journey, and it’s important to be patient with yourself. Recovery is not always easy, and setbacks may happen along the way. But with determination, support, and a comprehensive plan, it is possible to overcome addiction and achieve a healthy, fulfilling life of abstinence. Seek professional help if needed, and remember that you are not alone. Recovery is possible, and you deserve a happy, healthy, and sober life.

Practice Relapse Prevention: Relapse is a common part of the recovery process, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your journey to abstinence. Learn to recognise triggers and warning signs of relapse, and have a plan in place for how to handle them. This can include reaching out to your support system, engaging in healthy coping strategies, and reminding yourself of your reasons for quitting alcohol.

Address Underlying Issues: Many individuals turn to alcohol as a way to cope with underlying emotional or mental health issues. As part of your journey to abstinence, it’s important to address these underlying issues through therapy, counseling, or other appropriate interventions. Understanding and addressing the root causes of your alcohol use can greatly enhance your chances of long-term abstinence.

Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness is a powerful tool that can help you stay present in the moment and manage cravings or triggers. Incorporate mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness exercises, into your daily routine to help you stay grounded and focused on your recovery journey.

Build a Supportive Social Network: Surround yourself with supportive individuals who understand and respect your decision to quit alcohol. Build a social network that encourages and supports your sobriety. This can include attending support group meetings, connecting with sober friends, or engaging in activities that do not revolve around alcohol.

Take it One Day at a Time: Recovery is a process that requires patience and persistence. Focus on taking it one day at a time, and celebrate each day of sobriety as a significant accomplishment. Avoid overwhelming yourself with thoughts of the future, and instead, stay focused on the present moment and the progress you are making.

Practice Self-Reflection: Take time to reflect on your journey, your emotions, and your progress. Journaling, therapy, or self-reflection exercises can help you gain insight into your triggers, emotions, and patterns of behaviour. Understanding yourself better can empower you to make positive changes and stay committed to your goal of abstinence.

Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate your milestones along the way. Whether it’s a week, a month, a year, or more of sobriety, acknowledge and celebrate your achievements. Treat yourself to something special, share your success with your support system, and take pride in your progress.

Stay Committed to Self-Care: Self-care is crucial in recovery. Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health by getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Prioritise self-care as a non-negotiable part of your daily routine to support your overall well-being and resilience in your recovery journey.

Stay Positive and Patient: Recovery from alcohol addiction is a challenging process that requires time and effort. It’s important to stay positive and patient with yourself as you navigate the ups and downs of the journey. Be kind to yourself, practice self-compassion, and remember that change takes time.

Stay Committed to Your Goals: Finally, stay committed to your goals of abstinence from alcohol. Remind yourself of your reasons for quitting, and stay focused on the positive changes that sobriety can bring to your life. Surround yourself with reminders of your commitment, such as affirmations, notes, or symbols, and stay determined in your pursuit of a healthy, alcohol-free life.
Quitting alcohol and maintaining abstinence is a challenging but rewarding journey. It requires dedication, self-reflection, and support from others. Remember to be kind to yourself, seek help when needed, and stay committed to your goals. With determination, support, and a comprehensive plan in place, you can successfully overcome alcohol addiction and achieve a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life of abstinence

Seek Professional Help: If you find yourself struggling with quitting alcohol or maintaining abstinence despite your best efforts, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Addiction counsellors, therapists, or medical professionals can provide additional support, guidance, and resources to aid you in your recovery journey. They can also help you address any underlying mental health issues that may be contributing to your alcohol use.

Create a Relapse Prevention Plan: A relapse prevention plan is a crucial tool in maintaining abstinence. Work with your counselor or therapist to create a personalised plan that includes strategies to identify and manage triggers, coping skills to deal with cravings, and a plan of action if a relapse occurs. Having a plan in place can help you stay proactive in preventing relapse and staying on track with your recovery goals.

Build a Healthy Lifestyle: Engage in healthy lifestyle choices that support your recovery. This can include regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and adequate sleep. Taking care of your physical health can help you feel better overall and reduce the risk of relapse.

Develop Healthy Coping Skills: Alcohol may have been your previous coping mechanism, but it’s important to develop healthy coping skills that can help you manage stress, emotions, and triggers in a positive way. This can include mindfulness, deep breathing, exercise, hobbies, or talking to a trusted friend or family member.

Learn from Relapses: Relapses can happen in the recovery process, but it’s essential to view them as learning opportunities rather than failures. If you do experience a relapse, take the time to reflect on the triggers and circumstances that led to it, and use it as an opportunity to reassess and strengthen your recovery plan.

Practice Assertiveness: Learning to say no and set boundaries is crucial in maintaining abstinence. Practice assertiveness skills to communicate your needs, assert your boundaries, and avoid situations that may trigger your alcohol use. Surround yourself with individuals who respect and support your decision to abstain from alcohol.

Find Healthy Ways to Have Fun: Alcohol may have been associated with socialising and having fun in the past, but it’s important to find healthy ways to enjoy yourself without alcohol. Discover new hobbies, engage in activities that bring you joy, and build a fulfilling and enjoyable life without the need for alcohol.

Stay Mindful of High-Risk Situations: Be aware of high-risk situations that may trigger your alcohol use, such as parties, social events, or stressful situations. Have a plan in place to manage these situations, such as bringing a sober friend with you, having an exit strategy, or using healthy coping skills to manage cravings.

Practice Self-Compassion: Recovery is a challenging process, and it’s important to be kind to yourself along the way. Practice self-compassion, forgive yourself for past mistakes, and be patient with yourself as you navigate the ups and downs of recovery. Treat yourself with the same love and care you would offer to a friend in a similar situation.

Stay Committed to Your Sobriety: Finally, stay committed to your sobriety and make it a priority in your life. Surround yourself with a supportive network, continue to engage in healthy coping strategies, and seek help when needed. Remember that recovery is a lifelong journey, and staying committed to your sobriety is essential for maintaining abstinence from alcohol.
Quitting alcohol and maintaining abstinence is a courageous and transformative journey.

How do I retire comfortably?

You need to know what you want to do in your retirement first then you can calculate if you can do this comfortably

You need to be aiming for 20000 pounds after tax if you are single and more than 30000 pounds after tax for couple. Take a look at inflation in the UK just now. Many are forecasting UK inflation to be multiples more of what we have been used to. This means your retirement fund needs to be increasing at closer to 10 percent than 5 percent for foreseeable future. This means an increase in the size of your retirement fund of in excess of 20000 per year to remain comfortable. The UK state is only gonna give you around 8500 per annum at best and thats only when you are 67 or older, not if you want to retire early.

People in the UK, on average, tend to retire with thousands of pounds less than what you need to retire comfortably in UK. Many escape to warmer climates where it used to be or still is cheaper cost of living. That may bring different lifestyle sacrifices other than monetary like moving away from friends and family.

How much do I need to retire UK?

How much do YOU need to retire comfortably in the UK? A luxury retirement income UK is out of reach for most people. Retiring in luxury when you haven’t been living luxuriously is probably unrealistic unless the reason tou haven’t been living luxuriously pre-retirement is because you started saving for your retirement early in your life, earned a decent amount over your working life and invested most of your earned income in a good type of investment.

When you are very young you are not really interested on such things. However as you grow older some contemplation on such issues can improve the quality of your life in UK:

  1. Focus on your now. Be in the present. Your past you can’t change and will only bring you anxiety trying to live there. Your future will never ever come and will only bring you fear to live there and most of your fears will not come true thus ruining your present worrying about the future.
  2. What is the worst that can happen? You are good enough. You just need to know what is enough for you.
  3. Stop chasing your future by knowing what you want in your life and then bringing it into your life, confidently know you are worth it and knowing it will come when the time is right. Allow yourself the luxury of contentment and gratitude for what you have already.
  4. Eat and drink well. Identify what your body and mind needs and feed yourself properly.
  5. Move about more! You do not need to train for a Channel swim, the London Marathon or immerse yourself in pain. Just move about more every single day.
  6. Sleep and rest. Chris Hoy won gold partly because he rested has hard as he worked!
  7. Love yourself more! Cut yourself some slack. You live in a difficult world with people who are difficult and who want to make your life complicated. Life is complex not complicated. We know what we need to do to be healthy wealthy and happy. You just need to do it instead of procrastinating or waiting for someone to help you. No one is coming. Practice self-care and good things will happen to you.

Your worth loving.

What makes you happy?

Are you happy with your life? Learning how to enjoy every moment of life is surprisingly difficult. There are plenty of things to enjoy in life in UK. Your mind is free to think what it wants. How you think changes your reality. How you talk to others changes what your life is and what you will experience in life in UK.

  • Be grateful for what you have in your life already. If you are working towards the moment you will be happy, it may never come and you will probably not enjoy the moment if it does come.
  • Recognise good moments. If you are too busy to enjoy your life more than why are you being so busy? What’s the point of being so busy you can’t enjoy the life?
  • Love yourself first. That means putting yourself first. Oxygen masks on plane drop in an emergency so you can save yourself first before trying to save anyone else.
  • Look after your mind and body. This includes a key part of any healthy lifestyle – make sure you rest and recuperate. Pushing through pain barriers is good in the right circumstances. Until those moments come rest!
  • Acknowledge what you accomplish every day and celebrate any success regardless of how easy it may be perceived by others. Comparing your successes to others is pointless. You need to try to be better than yourself yesterday not anybody else to improve your lifestyle.
  • Back yourself. Investing in you not your relative friend or employer. How you survive and develop your life will make you happier healthier and wealthier.
  • Know which relationships support your lifestyle choices. Most people do not care what you do. Many of those who do care want you to fail. Only a few relationships want for you what you want.

It is impossible and perhaps not even desirable to be happy every moment of every day. Identifying things that make you unhappy is part of changing your life for the better.

Allow yourself to be the best you can be. That does not mean everyone can do what they want in life. Recognise accept and embrace your limitations. Work out how to be healthier wealthier and happier despite your limitations, and perhaps because of your limitations to be a true best version of yourself.

You may say you don’t have the luxury of free time to work at yourself. You have responsibilities and are accountable for more than yourself. We say priorities! Look closely at your life now. Are you prioritising your life choices in a way that supports your realistic achievement of desire to be happier. Most people will find on closer inspection that they are doing somethings they do not need to do or need to reorganise their priorities to have more time for themselves. If you can’t make changes to your priorities today plan for a specific day you will change your priorities. If you say its impossible to change your priorities ever you are not being honest with yourself. Not being honest with yourself and others means you cannot be the best version of you ever. Is that your choice? Create the life you want for yourself cause nobody else can.

What do you not want in your life?

Unlocking the Secrets to a More Fulfilling Life in the UK: Expert Tips and Strategies

Looking at common questions that many people ask themselves as they navigate through life. In this article, we’ll explore what it means to avoid certain things in life and what can happen when we keep doing the same things.

What do you not want in your life?

There are many things that people may not want in their lives, and these can vary from person to person. Some common things that people may want to avoid include:

  1. Toxic Relationships: Negative and abusive relationships can have a detrimental effect on your emotional and physical well-being. It’s important to recognize when a relationship is toxic and take steps to remove yourself from the situation.
  2. Negative self-talk: A critical inner voice can create self-doubt and hold you back from reaching your full potential. It’s important to practice self-compassion and positive self-talk.
  3. Procrastination: Putting things off can lead to missed opportunities and increased stress. It’s important to take action and develop healthy habits to increase productivity.
  4. Financial instability: Money concerns can cause stress and anxiety, affecting mental and physical health. It’s important to create a budget, save for emergencies, and seek professional help when needed.
  5. Lack of purpose: Feeling unfulfilled and lacking direction can lead to a sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction. It’s important to reflect on what’s important to you and set meaningful goals.

Where will your life take you if you keep doing the same things?

If you keep doing the same things, your life will likely continue on a similar trajectory. While there may be some comfort in routine and familiarity, it can also lead to stagnation and missed opportunities. It’s important to evaluate your actions and consider whether they align with your goals and values.

Doing the same things can lead to complacency and a lack of growth. It’s important to challenge yourself, try new things, and step outside of your comfort zone. This can lead to personal growth, increased confidence, and a sense of accomplishment.

In conclusion, it’s important to reflect on what you want in life and what you want to avoid. It’s also important to evaluate your actions and consider whether they align with your goals and values. By taking steps to create a life that’s aligned with your aspirations, you can increase your chances of fulfillment and happiness. Additionally, by trying new things and stepping outside of your comfort zone, you can continue to grow and develop as a person.

The secret of happiness is having lower expectations of yourself and of others

How to lower expectations of yourself and others with CheeringupInfo

Is it good to lower expectations

Being happy does not depend on how well things are going but does depend on how well things are going compared to what you were expecting. If you or someone else delivers more than expected you will be happier than you expected. You will be unhappy if your expectations of life are not met. If your expectations are exceeded you are normally happier than you thought you would be.

If you set realistic goals and achieve them you will be happy. If you expect things in your life that you will never in a million years achieve you will never be happy. If you aim too low you will be happy with your achievements, but could you be underselling yourself. However the key to happiness is low expectations if your goal is to be happy with your life.

Be clear in your life goals and invest in your life

Be clear in your life goals and invest in your life with Cheeringup.Info

Knowing when you have enough is part of setting expectations. Many people who relentlessly push themselves to higher and higher achievements may achieve more but they may never be happy cause each new level is not enough. They expect to achieve more and more but the day they have enough will never come and therefore they will never be happy.

Happy Life Strategies

How to Be Happy with Your Life: 10 Essential Strategies for Lasting Happiness

Happiness is a universal pursuit, and everyone deserves to experience joy and contentment in their lives. While external circumstances and events can impact our happiness temporarily, true and lasting happiness comes from within. In this article, we will explore ten essential strategies that can help you cultivate happiness and be truly content with your life. By adopting these practices, you can develop a positive mindset, build meaningful relationships, nurture your well-being, and find purpose and fulfillment in your everyday existence.

Embrace Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful tool for cultivating happiness. Take time each day to appreciate the things you have, both big and small. Keeping a gratitude journal or simply reflecting on the positive aspects of your life can shift your focus from what is lacking to what you have, fostering a sense of contentment and happiness.

Cultivate Optimism
Optimism is the belief that good things can and will happen. Train your mind to look for the silver lining in challenging situations. Rather than dwelling on setbacks or failures, view them as opportunities for growth and learning. By cultivating optimism, you can maintain a positive outlook on life and increase your overall happiness.

Nurture Relationships
Human connections are vital for happiness. Invest time and effort in building and maintaining meaningful relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who uplift and inspire you. Engage in activities that foster connections, such as spending quality time together, engaging in open and honest communication, and showing empathy and compassion.

Practice Self-Care
Self-care is crucial for overall well-being and happiness. Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Prioritise activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul, such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and engaging in hobbies you enjoy. Practice self-compassion and allow yourself time for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Set Meaningful Goals
Having goals that align with your values and aspirations can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Set realistic and achievable goals that excite and motivate you. Break them down into smaller steps, and celebrate each milestone you reach along the way. Pursuing meaningful goals can give your life direction and enhance your happiness.

Find Meaning and Purpose
Discovering meaning and purpose in life can significantly contribute to long-lasting happiness. Reflect on your passions, values, and talents, and explore how you can use them to make a positive impact in the world. Engage in activities that align with your core values and provide a sense of fulfillment, whether it’s volunteering, helping others, or pursuing a career that makes a difference.

Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness involves being fully present in the moment and non-judgmentally aware of your thoughts and emotions. By practicing mindfulness, you can cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and reduce stress and anxiety. Engage in mindfulness activities such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simply immersing yourself fully in whatever you’re doing at the moment.

Develop Resilience
Life is full of challenges and setbacks, but building resilience can help you bounce back stronger. Embrace adversity as an opportunity for growth and learn from your failures. Cultivate a positive mindset, focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems, and seek support from loved ones during difficult times. Resilience enables you to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease and maintain happiness despite challenges.

Practice Generosity and Kindness
Acts of kindness and generosity have a profound impact on our happiness.

Practice Generosity and Kindness
Acts of kindness and generosity have a profound impact on our happiness. When we extend a helping hand or perform acts of kindness towards others, we experience a sense of fulfillment and connection. Look for opportunities to be generous, whether it’s through volunteering, offering a listening ear to a friend in need, or performing random acts of kindness for strangers. Small gestures can make a big difference in someone’s day and bring joy to your own life as well.

Embrace the Power of Forgiveness
Holding onto grudges and resentment can weigh us down and hinder our happiness. Learn to forgive others, not for their sake, but for your own peace of mind. Forgiveness is a liberating act that allows you to let go of negative emotions and move forward with a lighter heart. It doesn’t mean condoning or forgetting the hurtful actions, but rather releasing the emotional burden they impose on you. By practicing forgiveness, you free yourself from the chains of negativity and create space for happiness and healing.

Happiness is not a destination; it is a journey that requires conscious effort and practice. By implementing these ten essential strategies in your life, you can cultivate a genuine sense of happiness and fulfillment. Embrace gratitude, nurture relationships, practice self-care, set meaningful goals, and find purpose and meaning in your life. Develop resilience, practice mindfulness, and engage in acts of kindness and forgiveness. Remember that happiness is a state of mind that can be nurtured and cultivated, even amidst life’s challenges. So, take the first step today and commit to embracing these strategies. With time and perseverance, you can create a life filled with genuine happiness, contentment, and a deep sense of fulfillment. You deserve it!

Low expectations in relationships

Love and Romance

If you expect more from others and they do not deliver you will be unhappy with your relationship. Sure compromise and change can happen but if someone is unable or unwilling to change to meet your expectations you will be unhappy. If you can accept the person the way they are then you will be happy. The price of happiness in a relationship maybe not expecting people to change.

Life will never be easy

Ups and downs will still frequent your life. Knowing you are enough to cope will help you to enjoy the ride or at least make life easier and better.

Try not to live in the past. You can’t change it. Being angry about real or perceived actions against you will not hurt your transgressors. It will only hurt you.

Try not to live in the future. What you may fear may not happen. If you worry about your future and the feared event does not happen then you have wasted the present time worrying unnecessarily.

If you make the present time as happy as you can then you will find more peace contentment and happiness over your whole life. You will be able to look back and say you have lived your best life.

Making sense of your life

Very few if any people have total control of their life. The richest people financially find that life and events get in the way of their perceived control. Most people have very little control of life events. However everyone has control over how the think about life events. Believing in yourself enables you to accept the things you can’t control and focus your limited daily energy on the things you can control. You can choose how you feel about your life. Feeling bad about the bad things in your life will only make the bad things seem worse. Accepting that shit happens is not being heartless cruel or throwing in the towel. It is better to invest your skills energy and resilience in the things you can change not the things you can’t.
