One of the most challenging parts of recovering and healing is going through triggers and accepting they may happen. Triggers, especially in the beginning, can pop up out of nowhere, and we need to have some tools in our toolkit to manage them.

One of those great tools comes from DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy) called ACCEPTS

A recovery, mindset, and healing toolkit is perfect for those challenging, anxiety-producing moments when you feel like things are getting out of your control. It’s a place to mentally and physically store the tools you’ve picked up along the way. It consists of three areas: a mindfulness exercise, creating a go-bag, and having an awareness of your body. I’ll go over each one in detail.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a project or task? Maybe you’ve decided you want to stop an unhealthy behavior like drinking too much, overeating, or using drugs. Perhaps you want to move towards a healthy goal, like starting a new career, writing a book, or having a more positive mindset. No matter what you’re trying to do, setting reasonable, achievable goals from the beginning can help you reach your destination.
