Ash Wednesday: A Day of Introspection

If you need help breaking bad habits, working on your relationships, or even discovering what thoughts/behaviors are hindering you in life, reach out today for help at (704) 815-6440.

Ash Wednesday is a day often not understood by anyone who does not celebrate it. It is mostly celebrated by Catholic Christians but sometimes others join in. To put it briefly, it is a day of repentance & remembrance that one day we will all die or "return to dust." In other words, it is a day of realizing our mortality and choosing to move away from behaviors or things in our lives that are not good for us.

While we are not suggesting everyone needs to head to the Catholic church today to participate, I would suggest that you practice some introspection today to consider what in your life you may need to step away from when you think about the perspective that you are not going to live forever. Maybe you need to turn away from bad habits or toxic relationships that are hurting your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual health. Most people, regardless of their religious views or beliefs, would benefit from this kind of introspection in their life, especially if it is followed by some actions. What in your life do you need to move away from to more fully enjoy life?
