This is a common challenge, shared even by those we admire.Opting for convenient meals over nourishing our bodies with what they truly need...Choosing fleeting leisure over strengthening our physical and spiritual well-being...Surrendering to the night's embrace late, rather than gifting ourselves the restorative sleep we need...Yet, what are our enduring goals?<ul><li>Nourishing our body and spirit, perhaps finding balance in our physical form.</li><li>Cultivating strength, not just in the body but in mind and spirit.</li><li>Embracing each new day with energy and clarity, renewed by restful sleep.</li></ul>These enduring goals call for sacrifices that we often hesitate to embrace in the moment.As a certified counsellor and a fellow traveller on this path of recovery, I've navigated these crossroads of 'now versus tomorrow' countless times.
