Holistic way of treating mental illness

Hello, again!!  It has been a long while since we've gathered together to talk.  I'm so sorry about that.  But things will change such as set up a schedule.  Every Sunday there will be a post talking about health, creativity, law of attraction, the beauty of my home town, etc.

Well, with that said, let's get into this week's post: a holistic way of treating mental illness.  If you have a mental illness where you have to take medication you might not be able to get off them.  It might not be safe enough.  But you can create a life style to add to the medicinal regimen to have a healthy way of being.  *This can be for everyone*.

I have tried pretty much tried every one on this list.  So here we go:

1.  Don't forget your fruit and veggies.  They are full of antioxidants (cancer fighting), fiber (you need a clean out), vitamin C.

2.  Get up in the morning and have a couple glasses of cold water with lemon juice.  This will wake you up and help you flush out any toxins.  Plus, don't forget to drink 8 glasses of water a day.  This will give you energy and keep you full.

3.  Keep moving.  Go for a walk.  Go for a hike.  Go to the gym.

4.  Do something creative.  Write anything where your imagination is used.  Using your imagination can be therapeutic.

5.  Get your emotions out.  Use a journal and get what your hate and what you love one as many pages as you want.  Doing this will help you listen and read what is you.  I say this way is better because, excuse my French, but therapists suck.

6.  One thing that I find really works is meditation.  I have an app on my phone called, Insight Timer, and I choose the background music and the sound that tells me the 10:00 minutes is up.  Plus, you can choose the amount of time you want to spend with your inner self.  I also have an oil diffuser where you can have what ever scent you want.  Last night I chose orange blossom.  It smelt radiant.

I hope these suggestions were helpful.  I find that spending time with oneself has a positive impact on how your health turns out in the long run.

Well, tata!  See you next Sunday!
