FR Step 10

We’re driving along successfully and all of a sudden we realize we’ve missed an exit, we’re now off course.  However a quick assessment determines we can get off at the next exit and get back on course fairly easily.  In this case we continue our journey without stopping but making a minor course correction.

Our simple plan for simply living is very similar to this, we continue along day-after-day and when we get slightly off course we make a quick correction and continue.  These simple corrections don’t need to derail our journey, there is no need to start back at the beginning or throw in the towel.  These are the common, everyday corrections that we will need to be observant of and make corrections for as the process of living healthier becomes part of our daily routines.

There are times, when you may find yourself completely off-course and it will be necessary to pull over, figure out where you are, make a plan to continue your journey, then get back at it.  It is at these times in our simple plan for simply living that we use the FR Step 10: We continue to make personal inventory and admit when we are wrong.

FR Step 10 allows us to reconnect with our journey, get back on track and move forward.  It allows us to find our way, release what isn’t ours to carry, and be honest and true to ourselves.

If you find yourself slightly off track go ahead and make those immediate corrections and continue moving forward.  However if you find yourself lost, totally off-track, go ahead and pull over, stop the car, suspend your journey but don’t quit!  Use your resources:  FR Support, sponsors, friends, coaches, or even therapy to get a clear map to your journey, then pull your vehicle back on the road and get moving toward a happier healthier you; reset and move forward!
