Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Health Recovery Boosters is a book of inspiration and reflection designed to move readers from mental illness to mental wellness. The 68 short but powerful essays stand alone with messages of encouragement and personal accountability. Based on lessons the author learned during her journey out of mental illness, the essays encourage readers to reflect on daily choices and mental habits that affect their mental wellness. The author discovered during her own journey that what she needed was an attitude shift - a shift from illness to wellness in order to sustain her recovery. "What I have learned over the years is the power of one's beliefs. We have all heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy - if you think you can or you think you can't, you prove yourself right on either side. Why? You build your reality upon thoughts you agree are true. Also, you have it within your power to tap into two universal laws: The Laws of Intention and Attraction. Once you set your intention to mental wellness, providence takes over and you attract experiences and opportunities to live the life you created with your intentions. " - Carol A. Kivler, Author Readers are encouraged to thumb through the book until they feel the urge to stop and read. Each thought-provoking essay is accompanied by a question that encourages readers to look more deeply into patterns that may be affecting their recovery from mental illness. Space is provided to jot down important insights. Attention to wellness can make a big difference in dealing with a mental illness, and answering the questions helps transfer the commitment of wellness into one's own life. This powerful book will inspire you to hold yourself accountable for your own mental wellness. When you take the time to reflect on the essays and questions, you will be setting your wellness intentions out into the universe to manifest the life you were meant to live.

Download or read book Write Pray Recover written by Wendy I. Blanchard and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countless people today are living with, and dying from untreated mental health disorders, as well as substance use disorder (SUD) aka addiction. This author works diligently to bring about change that will save lives, and bring awareness to an integrative approach to recovery. This includes spiritual solutions as a part of self care. Wendy is eager to encourage healthy practices to promote a global culture and climate shift that focuses on wellness in recovery! Groundbreaking! Wendy works tirelessly to raise awareness and to eliminate stigma associated with these disorders and provides the resources available to help. Write Pray Recover – A Journey to Wellness Through Spiritual Solutions and Self-Care is an excellent addition to those resources. In this text, the author shares her journey of lifelong disease of SUD and mental health disorders, stemming from both early childhood trauma, and ongoing trauma as an adult. It was also due in part to the irresponsibility of doctors (and pharmacists) who treated both physical and mental health symptoms. These healthcare professionals never considered the larger problems which they were creating by over- prescribing addictive opioids, and other controlled substances, in lethal doses. Over the years of her recovery from these disorders, which nearly took her life on numerous occasions, she has embraced a healthy new mindset and lifestyle. Wendy was driven to create her own “Wellness Approach to Recovery” program when she observed early in her recovery that the traditional models did not align with what she envisioned for her “new normal.” Wendy has followed her own groundbreaking program where she uses an integrative approach and is thriving in wellness! With practical advice, paired with anecdotal evidence from the author’s own life, the “Wellness Approach to Recovery” will help readers to embrace and recognize the variety of changes they may consider in their own lives. If these solutions and self care practices resonate—things like meditation, mindfulness, a spiritual practice, etc., then you may also align with Wendy’s untapped pathway to recovery! With the necessary support, tools, and a willingness to be open to new perspectives, not only can you recover from SUD and mental health disorders, but (at long last) you can begin to heal, to truly live with purpose and joy, and to thrive on a cellular level!
