Stop and Breathe !



Stop and breath.

Take a step back. What do you need right now?
A nap?
A break?
Some water?
A shower?

Take a breath, refocus yourself, assess your priorities and remember to keep breathing and do what is best for you in the moment.
Do what will benefit your mental and physical health best in the moment.

Maybe it's doing yoga, going for a walk, stretching out on the couch with a book or meditating, but whatever it is, make sure it is there, with good intentions to get yourself centered and grounded and in a good mind space, and don't forget to take some deep breaths, make wise mind decisions and allow yourself to take care of yourself and your needs in the moment.


Take a breather right now. 
Think about what your needs are currently; are you feeling mentally or physically fatigued?

Allow yourself to take a break and refocus, don't beat yourself up for having needs that every normal human has, and vie yourself what your body and mind both crave in order to put yourself in a good mind space and to make sure your body is healthy, nourished and cared for.


So, take a step back, take a deep breath and refocus. 
Don't turn to alternative forms of harming yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed, but rather use your overwhelmed sense to take care of yourself on an even greater level to make sure you are both physically and mentally taken care of the best of your abilities so that you may go happy about your day in a more happy and healthy mind space.


-Blessings and Love.

Happiness is Here and Now !

A few ways to practice mindfulness- Choose one of your five senses and focus on it wholly. Perhaps you are slowing down to really taste your food,  observing the smell of many flowers in your garden, or watching the sunrise/set without allowing your mind to wander. Close your eyes (or fix your gaze on an non moving object) and bring your focus to your breath. Inhale and Exhale . Focus on the sensations in your body, and allow wandering thoughts to visit and pass on as you bring your focus back to your breath. If you find it helpful, you can also add a mantra to your breath, such as "Breathe in peace, Exhale chaos." or " breathe in 'I acknowledge' (whatever emotion is at the forefront of your mind), exhale 'I care for' (whatever emotion is on the forefront of your mind.) Run your hands under cold water or hold ice cubes until they melt and focus on the sensation of how it makes your hands feel. One should mindfully participate in an

Its Okay to cry , the sky does it too !

Its okay to feel sadness and remorse towards the time you've lost to your mental disorder,  and it's okay to be afraid of the fact that you lost time. Yet, one thing rings true : No matter what time you feel you've lost to your mental illness, it was time you spent gaining strength, courage, and wisdom for the road ahead and though you are allowed to feel sadness and mourn that time that mental illness may have taken from your life, also be grateful for that time, in knowing it has brought you to the exact point you need to be at today. You may have missed out on or been overwhelmed by, to feel angry over the cancelled plans and the interruptions of treatment and therapy, to feel remorse towards what your mental disorder has taken from you. AND, you are also allowed to be proud of what the time gave you. You are also allowed to, at the same time as mourning, recognize that your mental illness was just as much as a blessing as it was a curse, as it gave you qualities and

If You Are A Little Better Than You Were Yesterday Then That's Enough

Today if you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that's enough. Never believe that you must solve all of your problems at once, that you must be completely recover in a short time or that you are wrong of flawed for continuing to struggle- take small steps each day in the right direction, for the active effort of moving in the right direction is enough to create a gradual impact, one step at a time. Don't hold yourself to the standard that you must take giant steps in order to be successful, take your journey step by step, from going to the grocery by yourself to driving a car after not getting behind the wheel for a couple of years, or even calling a friend you have'nt talked to in a while, it is often the little steps that add up to a great amount in the end, and that ultimately have the most impact upon your journey in the right direction. Don't believe that you have failed or done something wrong if your journey is taking time. Every journey moves a
