(PRWEB) April 08, 2014 -- Former addicts who have successfully made it through the recovery process and are eager to launch their better, happier and healthier new life ahead, should read the latest blog post from Per Wickstrom entitled “How to Build Confidence after Addiction Recovery.”
“As someone who struggled with addiction in my youth, I know how challenging it can be for addicts to rebuild their confidence and self-esteem after addiction recovery,” commented Per Wickstrom who blogs regularly on topics related to addiction, health, personal development, business success and more at http://www.PerWickstrom.com. “However, with the right focus, knowledge and support system, what may seem like an arduous uphill climb can be refreshingly inspiring, and instantly rewarding.”
According to Per Wickstrom, former addicts should focus on the following to build their confidence:
• Choose a career path that is rewarding and meaningful.
• Focus on goals that fit into the “SMART” framework: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timed
• Reinforce positivity by celebrating all wins – no matter how small they may seem
• Stay connected to friends, family and members of one’s support network
• Recognize negativity within oneself and in others, and focus on solutions rather than problems
• Set priorities to avoid being spread thin and becoming overwhelmed
• Practice one’s faith – whatever it may be
• Take care of one’s physical health through proper nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle habits
