The 6 Elements of Recovery

Christina Bruni1 Comment

Years ago when I started lifting weights I chose to make fitness a priority. Value I do fitness of body mind spirit finances career and relationships. I see mental health recovery as possible when these 6 elements of the recovery lifestyle fit together in an organic way.

Cheers to living a long life of health wealth and happiness. Each of us can have an abundance of these three things when we realize that we have enough and we are enough.

My overarching goal is to give peers hope. For readers, followers, and audience members to choose hope over helplessness. There’s hope to evolve and grow to find our divine purpose.

Choosing recovery can make all the difference in how far a person can go. My aim is to share stories and teach people to be well. Even living with illness we can achieve wellbeing.

The goal is not to weigh 102 pounds or have six-pack abs. The objective is to live the life you love and love the life you live with despite and because of whatever challenge you face.

Andiamo!

The Environ-Mental

Our environment affects our mental health. Even living in an apartment that is not ideal we can improve our emotional state with a simple habit like buying fresh flowers.

I’ve taken to buying flowers on the regular to keep in a vase on the dining table. Fresh blooms give off a positive vibration. The cost to replenish a wilted bunch every week is worth it if you ask me. Often a food market will sell bunches cheaper than a florist would.

Even on a limited income I make the case for cutting down in another area to spend on flowers.

The blooms don’t have to match or go with the table decor either. Pick the flowers whose colors cheer you up that you’re drawn to. And I think it’s okay that a bouquet lasts only 4 days.

You can write down in a notebook the names of each flower and how long they stayed fresh. Should you not be able to remember this.

In the coming blog entries I will talk about the new recipes I’ve created and post photos of the food.
