Why am I writing this?

About:

I’m in my 30s, educated, professional, and recovering from an 8 year love affair with an alcoholic. Jesscape represents my hope that sharing my story will hold open an empathic space for others recovering from family-related addiction issues and empower me to own my story.

Please note: I am in no way a life coach, expert, or health professional. If you are in distress or curious about life improvement, I encourage you to seek out services in your community. There is no greater investment than one you make in yourself!

Yesterday was a federal holiday here in Canada 🇨🇦. Seriously hoping that this short work week doesn’t live up to my expectations of being packed and gruelling!⁣ ⁣ Law of attraction is a thing! Working on my #positivevibes, but trusting that the universe will deliver what I need - even if it does not line up with my expectations. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✍️ If you’d like to read more about my recovery journey, swing by the website (link in profile).

So much about emotional wellness is helped by practicing mindfulness or learning to be more in the present. This involves accepting things for what they are (not what we want them to be), and working at trusting the future to unfold as it should and working to let go of the past. ⁣ ⁣ Understand I write this still struggling to improve my ability at all 3! The cool thing about working at this is that it allows for imperfection. There’s no such thing as being “bad” at being mindful, part of the practice is accepting where you are and understanding that having a human mind is beautiful (even if it drives us to undesirable states). #simplenoteasy, but worth trying. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✍️ If you’d like to read more about my recovery journey, swing by the website (link in profile).
