Basics
The basics
are what you do every day in order to stay sober, centered and balanced. They are the
tools you rely on to keep sharp while you are on your spiritual journey. These
are the very basic action-based requirements for developing positive change and spiritual fitness.
You can check your amount of willingness to change by measuring whether or not
you are accomplishing the basics.
- Prayer and meditation; morning and night; see Morning/Evening Prayer and Meditation post
- Contact someone within your 12-step support network.
- Read two pages of 12-step literature that supports your change. For example: daily readings, daily reflections, 12-step texts.
- Attend a 12-step support group meeting every week or the amount of times needed.
- Walk or exercise 5 to 10 minutes per day.
- Affirmations and gratitude.
