Law of Growth: 12 Spiritual Laws for Addiction Recovery

Over the next several weeks we’ll be posting about the 12 Spiritual Laws that our residents learn to understand and practice throughout their 90 day stay at the Mark Houston Recovery Center.

Spiritual Law #11: The Law of Growth

What we think upon grows…

It has been said that our thought-life contributes to that which manifests in our lives. Having been in alcohol recovery and worked with countless people during the recovery process, we have found this to be undeniably true.

Thoughts become “things” and manifest if coupled with intent and desire. We must learn to pay attention to our thought-life as if it were just as real as our physical life.

Turn away from negative self talk

When we begin to work with a language of positive words, thoughts, and emotions, we begin to see these thoughts manifesting as reality in our lives.

If my thoughts are kind and loving, I experience kindness and love in life, both of myself and from other people. If my thoughts are decisive and insightful, I become more decisive and insightful.

When we embrace this law of the universe and it becomes a daily practice, it is amazing how quickly a person’s life can change – either for the better or for the worse, depending on the nature of the thoughts.

Try thinking positively and watch the results grow into reality of your own design. Happy thinking…
