This Week...
Integrity and walking the talk are two attractive qualities we develop in recovery. Forgiveness for ourselves and others can help provide new perspectives and allow for new attitudes. The past doesn't define who we are anymore and moving forward on a compassionate path can afford us true peace of mind today.

Each week we invite you to Step into Recovery with The Hub, your resource for Connection, Education, Wellness & Fun.

Peace of Mind
Understanding fundamental truths about our thought processes is invaluable to creating peace of mind and maintaining it. Looking within and overcoming procrastination and self-doubt through radical self-compassion are two of the things Amanda Crowell shines a light on to enhance our sense of well-being. Amanda's popular TedX Talk has over 600,000 views; needless to say she's an in-demand speaker and writer. We've been honored to host her multiple times at Mountainside Chelsea so keep an eye out for future collaborations this summer.
Your Self-Care Kit
In recovery, we are mindful about what not to put into our bodies (i.e. drugs and booze) and start thinking about what our bodies need (i.e. food and exercise). Ayurveda provides the foundation for creating balance and peace of mind within ourselves through recognizing the connection between mind, body, senses and spirit. Whether you want to start out exploring self-care the Ayurvedic way or dig deeper with Ayurvedic techniques for balancing your life, our neighbors to the North, Kripalu, have a variety of offerings to help you embark on your journey.
Your Weekly Soundtrack
People find peace of mind in a variety of ways. This playlist aims to honor that and invites you to find yours. The importance of integrity, the hope of a new day, and the value of forgiveness are all explored in these songs. Consider it a model-day mixtape made just for you. We hope you dig it!
The Cooking Corner
Hi! I'm Caitlin, Director of Community Relations at Mountainside. As someone always on the move I often find myself getting home at night and needing to unwind... and that’s not always easy. While working in the fast-paced world of hospitality, I was introduced to Ojas Milk and its relaxing qualities. You can adjust the flavors by changing the ratios of the spices to your tastes and what’s right for you. Adding this to your nighttime rituals will surely make for a relaxing evening and peace of mind.
As the Page Turns
June 7th, author Nicole Caldwell joins Mountainside's Recovery Advocate, Martin Munroe, to discuss "Better: The Art of Sustainable Living." We'll be discussing the intersection of sustainability and art, and showing how our greatest artistic achievement can be reinventing our lives. This unusual guide blends theory with practical hands-on DIY ideas to incite your own creative adventure.
Stonehenge
The process of recovery leads us to question long-held, often incorrect beliefs we have about ourselves. Archaeology mirrors this process with its frequent new discoveries and changing perspectives. Nowhere is this more evident than Stonehenge, who's narrative evolves and changes with every new discovery.
