Recovery from a mental illness like any other illness is a process; the recovery process must be self-directed by the individual. A person defines his or her own life goals and then must design a path towards those goals.
The recovery is based on an your unique strengths and resiliencies as well as your
needs, preferences, experiences, and cultural background.
Recovery is an ongoing journey and achieving wellness and optimal mental health is the end result of the process.
Recovery is not a step by step process but is a journey of continual growth, setbacks, and learning from experience.
Preparedness when we encounter things we did not plan on or could not expect our bodies are stressed which leads the way open for a crisis. Every day stressors can bring us down at times it can seem like too much.Life stressors will happen regardless, but with good organization you can minimize the events.
Exercise and keeping active.are two of the best mental wellness tools, as well as physical tools that you can learn to use in daily life. A healthy, happy life is based on good nutrition and body maintenance.
Express yourself trying to bottle up emotions and thoughts leads to self destructive behavior. Self-expression helps to maintain a good attitude.
Laughter stimulates the brain and makes us feel better. It’s good for those around us too. Laugh Everyday!
Know your faults. Be aware of what they are and how you can work on them to change them there is no shame in being human, accept it you are not perfect!
Remember the past but do not live in the past. The past is what we learn
from. When we forget the past actions and thoughts we repeat them. Embrace the past, accept it for what it WAS, accept it, and move on.
Know who you are, who you want to be and what you want to do
Keep goals for yourself as a person, and for your life; focus hard on your goals.
Always remember your reason for working so hard. Your goals are attainable They are within your grasp reach out to Life and with a little effort Life will respond in kind.
Recovery from a mental illness not only benefits the person's life but also enriches the life of the community.
