I Cry Out to Heaven to Get Me Through Hell

"Walk On" by Kellie Coffey

It came out of nowhere
Dropped like a stone 
Careless betrayal
I could not believe it 
I feel abandoned
Where did it all go wrong? 
Truth hit my blind-spot
I could not see it
I cry out to heaven to get me through hell 
In the meantime I just keep tellin' myself 
Walk on 
Walk on 
Don't let this sad set-back break me 
Walk on
Walk on 
See where this detour will take me 
Well I've been beaten down on the ground 
But i'll pick myself up and dust-off 
And walk on 
Sun sets behind me and all that's ahead 
Is a long stretch of road 
God knows where it's going 
Cryin' comes easy out here in the dark 
'Cause the hardest part is the fear of not knowin' 
I ain't got nothin' left that I could lose 
The only thing that i know I can do 
Walk on 
Walk on 
Don't let this sad set-back break me 
Walk on
Walk on 
See where this detour will take me 
Well I've been beaten down on the ground 
But I'll pick myself up and dust-off 
And walk on

Mindfullness

"We change in an environment of compassion and acceptance

 and the biggest environment we live is our own brain" 

-Unknown

Tools I use for mindfulness:

#1. Meditation

At the beginning of my recovery a therapist recommended this app.

It helped me tremendously to learn how to identify what I was feeling. I also used this website. 

#2. Self Compassion Letters

#3. Breathing techniques

Breathe in for four seconds and then breathe out for four seconds.

Breathe in for eight seconds hold for four seconds and then breath out for eight seconds.

#4. Yoga

It's powerful. No need to say more.
