You’re supposed to use photos in blogs so that Google ranks you higher.
I say: as hard as it can be: get out of your apartment or your house.
There’s really no benefit in ruminating on what’s not working or on being jealous of others who seem to have it all. Most people bluff rather than admit that they’re not doing well. No one is going to tell you that they feel like they’ve fallen down.
Just think this: life isn’t easy for any of us not even people who seem to have it all.
If you’re idolizing Kim Kardashian that just might be the dilemma: you have too much time on your hands and aren’t doing things of your own to bolster your self-esteem.
Living life–in recovery from whatever you’re in recovery from–involves taking risks. You will not always be in the mood to go out the front door.
Yet this is exactly how a woman I know met her future husband–they were innocently set up after a friend needled her into going to a pub.
A guy at the pub had his friend come over to meet her. They started talking and the rest was history. She had originally resisted going out and was pulled dragging her high heels into the pub.
I’m revising and editing my second book that I want to publish within two years. In it I’ll talk about how to thrive in your life in recovery.
Really–should we be aspiring to to emulate the Kardashians? Should we be buying their products and making them rich?
The CUNY Graduate Center journalism Masters’ program has an admissions test. You’re supposed to define what the people listed on the exam are famous for. I kid you not one of the people listed was Kim Kardashian.
I don’t admire anyone who is famous for being rich and beautiful.
Not even as a form of mindless escape watching a TV show. The sad reality is that more people adore Kim Kardashian than Michelle Obama. I greatly respect and admire all that Michelle Obama has done.
Has Kim Kardashian done anything to help save the planet or try to cure childhood obesity? I rest my case. Now turn off the TV and go to the pub.
You don’t have to drink alcohol when you go out either. Just go out and have a good time.
I tore out of an Oprah magazine a page with a photo of a huge yellow flower with the words Have Fun in black on the top of the page.
That is what we should all do:
Have fun.
