Avoid The ACA Laundry List Trait 8 This Holiday #motivation #emotionalregulation

As an adult we have choice. I encourage you to choose a healthy way to approach the holiday season.

Practice emotional sobriety. The basis of all recovery programs lies the element of serenity. I define this as "not getting butt hurt over stupid shit". "Don't sweat the small stuff", and, "This is not my hill to die on", are two affirmations I use to help center myself.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
