#OneWordMotivation- Recovery
Recovery
Definition: According to Google, 'recovery' means "a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength" and "the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost".
How it relates to SHR: I think this one is pretty obvious. To overcome self-harm means to recover from self-harming behaviour. This is what this subcommunity is all about- to document our recovery- the ups, the downs and the messy parts. Recovery shows that there is life after self-harm, that we can change our lives.
Quotes: “Recovery is not a race. You don’t have to feel guilty if it takes longer than you thought it would.”
What does recovery mean to YOU?

Recovery for me is when I can move ahead in life without looking behind on what I have lost. Rather, looking forward to acknowledging what lies ahead of me ready to be mine effortlessly.
It is when my past no longer controls me. Instead, I am its master.
When your wounds no longer make you kneel on your knees, know that you have recovered! ❤
@lyricalAngel70
I absolutely LOVE how you wrote what it meant so eloquently and poetically! It reminds me of a quote "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul". Invictus by William Ernest Henley.
@rebecca947
Thank you so much for those kind words. ❤
I love reading and writing poetry. Thanks for sharing that quote. 😍
@rebecca947
Recovery to me means when I'm completely honest with myself that I don't feel scared inside anymore.
I like this quote, it helps me sometimes and often leads me into my grounding techniques:
"Confine yourself to the present" - Marcus Aurelius
@VangMason
Dont feel scared inside anymore. Such a powerful sentiment. Nice to see you again, Vang! :)
I also like a lot of Marcus Aurelius’ work- a key player in stoicism. Do you partake in that too?
@rebecca947
Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with stoicism. Tbh it's a little weird taking so freely on here
@VangMason
What do you mean by taking so freely on here? About what?
@rebecca947
Talking so freely and about what, well, literally everything I have said on this site is stuff I would not say 'in real life' or outside of this website. I don't ever discuss really anything outside of work. It sounds foreign and kind of wrong to even say 'i have feelings and emotions'
