For the person in recovery, difficult life issues can serve as a reservation for relapse. However, just because we are in recovery, life does not go on hold. The daily ups and downs, as well as major life stressors, will occur. We need to build stability in our lives to handle whatever may come next. This meditation focuses on being stable through life's challenges.

In recovery, changing our thinking is primary. This includes having proper perspective on our past, our present, and our future. Negative core beliefs are like a tape recorded message playing over and over in our minds, telling us we are not worthy of the promises of recovery. This meditation will assist you in changing your negative core beliefs and cultivating positive mental states.
