You Are Not Stuck













You are not stuck.


Though it may be hard to believe at some point within your journey. you are not stuck, in one place unless you allow yourself to be, you are a being of constantly changing feelings and emotions, you have the power to impact and manipulate your journey at any given point, and each step you take forward, no matter how small it may seem, is an inch of progress that you gain.


Do not allow yourself to get trapped in the mindset that you are helpless, within the point that you are, embrace each moment as a new experience, be mindful and present within each passing feeling and emotion and don't unpack your bags at every roadblock, but rather take the time you need to actively work your way through them.


Validate and own your progress, especially at the points in which you feel as though you are at a standstill, honor each tiny step you take, and recognize the movement that comes with each second that travels through your journey.


If you feel as though you are trapped in a mental quicksand, don't sit back and allow it to consume you, you are strong, you are powerful, you are ultimately in control of your journey, and you have the ability to positively impact your path at any given point, to create an effort upon your mental state, and to manipulate the movement of your progress in the direction you wish to be travelling, inch by inch at a time.


You are not helpless, nor are you alone in your lowest and most difficult points,reach out for support and care from others if you find yourself needing a source of finding yourself needing a source of motivation, recognize the source of help that are available to you, and do not feel as though you have no way of finding your footing, but rather invest yourself into the idea of progress, movement by movement , with the poeple, support, care and patience you need in your life in order to do so.

You are not stuck. 

You are constantly moving and changing , recognize an honor every step you take , be present within each moment that passes through your life, and open yourself to every bit of the experience that is constantly occuring around you, emotion by emotion, feeling by feeling, thought by thought.


One day at a time.

It took me back to a character named "Haw" from the book "Who Moved My Cheese?". Owning your own progress is a motivational concept. Well written

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...
