Nourish Yourself into Full Bloom
I’m a believer that the relationship that we have with ourselves is by far the most crucial in developing a sense of wellness and healthy connections with others. We understand others through gaining an understanding and awareness of ourselves; we give back to others by learning to take care of our own needs; and when we truly love ourselves, we are able to love others in a genuinely satisfying way.

A Plan to Live
Take time to evaluate your commitment to life and think about resources and supports to utilize when distressing times occur. Arm yourself with these tools (and others too) and remember to use them.

Attempt to see the beauty of life and find ways to increase your quality of life through social connections, joyful activities, etc. When times get really tough, take your mind away from death and focus on ways to live. If you believe that you have options for life, they will appear. As founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), professor and psychologist Dr. Steven C. Hayes states in his inspirational book title- “Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life.” Continue reading
