The Trick is to " Keep Breathing " !

We breathe each day.
We breathe with an effortless thought about those breaths, an unconscious action to keep our bodies alive.

We only truly become conscious of these breaths when someone reminds us that we are in fact living and breathing creatures, in which we choose to generally focus on this breath, which can sometimes
lead for us to manipulate it.

We may speed it up our breath when drawn to it, or slow it down, or stop breathing all together at the fear of having a controlled presence over something coming so natural to us.
But I want to take a minute to invite you to focus on your breath, without manipulation.

Just focus on it.
Inhale , exhale, take a long deep breath in, and release it. Do you feel that?
You are giving something back. Each time you draw a breath, you give something back, feed life back into the world in the form of carbon dioxide, which trees then use to feed their need of life. Think about that for a moment. You are giving back life with your existence.

A life that only you can fill, only you can be present within. You are utterly neccesary . Never doubt your place in the world simply because you have a problem or burden that you have to live with-
You are an essential life force and matter immensely for yourself.
You are important, vital and necessary to this earth.

Stay safe, and never forget your worth.
Keep on. Breathing.

One day at a time.
-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
