Accepting HELP

Hi There, I wanted to write about my video above. I speak about accepting HELP from the resources that are available to people with Mental Illness. I had know idea that there are Networks and Communities out here that help people with different illnesses lead healthy normal functioning lives. Before going through my own episodes and experiences I never really thought twice about Mental Illness. I just went through life kinda blind to the whole matter. I knew of it but never went into details of what cause mental illness of why do people go through different things when it comes to it. I was just Naive I would say. Now that I am more aware I can definitely see how serious and important Mental Health is. The last few episodes I've experienced leading me into the hospital was a real wake up call. So obtaining help was Vitally important to me and my well being. So I'm grateful for the Resources available and hope that anyone that may need help know that there are people to talk to and they aren't alone.

Episodes

I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 1. I have a video on you tube where I speak about my experience here's the link https://youtu.be/TSkpiaiG8BU. Recently I had been dealing with some episodes that landed me in the hospital twice. This caused me to have to put my entire life on hold. My Wedding, Blog, YouTube Videos, Work at the hospital. My entire life, so I needed some time to get things back on track and I'm proud to say I was able to snap back and get it together. It took some time and I like to say I'm a work in progress daily, I'm striving to always be a better version of myself. That's my Personal Goal so I was able to get back to making my Videos which I enjoy doing just as much as blogging. So I truly believe in the saying "Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your Life". So I have my most recent video explaining what I had to deal with and my outlook on it.

Truth

The art of allowing=Acceptance
My name is Channelle and I have been Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 1. This means I experience highs and lows of Depression and Excitement. This is my experience and I began this Blog as a way for me to express my feelings,  thoughts, & experience as I move through my Journey of Life. I have decided to allow myself to receive assistance and stop trying to figure things out alone. There are so many resources available and I'm going to utilize them to my advantage so that I can lead a healthy balanced Lifestyle in which I deserve 😊 That's called Love.

The Power of Love

The Power of Love is Unconditional. Love is accepting 100% no matter what. You. I believe LOVE is when one is there for you despite what one is going through. If someone is sick and need you in the time of not feeling well. The best thing one can do is simply be there by showing Support, Understanding and Patience. I have to Continue Loving Myself and allowing My True Love to come to me. The Love that will never Forsake Me, Leave Me or Treat Me less of a person for not being PERFECT. True Love Stays, it doesn't run away from what is REAL. All is well with My Soul and the people whom Truly Love and Care for me are here they always have been and always will be. They are; Nelle, Sunnie, Nelleboo, Cocoa, Partly Sunnie, Channelle, ChanLei. They will always be true and will never leave me in my time of need. I'm grateful for true colors being revealed to me of others. A life without pain is a Wolf in sheeps clothes. I Embrace me Natural Girl 101 Loving Life. 

The Good Life ******

One Day at A Time

Everyday I have to wake up and say Thank You. Thank you God for My Life,Thank you God for the Beautiful in My Life, To be Thank You it's the best form of Gratitude one can obtain. So today I simply say THANK YOU for Life it's so Beautiful if I only allow it to be :-) All is Well and I truly believe that. Lifting my head up while I move through this journey and Knowing it's okay to trip a little and maybe even fall. Good thing is I know I can get up and Keep on Going. Gotta keep going, Gotta keep moving 

Love Your Life, I Love Mine and Everything will continue to fall into place. 

God Is Love

Pure Positive Energy

Abundance is our birthright

Stress

Hello Everyone 

Happy Wednesday

I have been working on getting my Life in Order which is very important for my Mental Clarity. I am writing about Stress today because with all the changes going on around me I have been really experiencing stress. I am working on ways daily to reduce my stress levels and the areas I know are triggering it. I recently went back to work and I am in a different department. I have to learn new people, material, and of course situations. I have learned I am not one who like change so much but I do embrace it because that's just part of life. Everyday is a New day so that means it's different already.

I have learned that the best ways for me to reduce stress is Yoga, Mediation, Making Bracelets which I have on my website: http://channelleleigh.weebly.com/, pottery which I'm excited to be getting back to and finally Cosmetology. I'm currently on break from school but that one of the other things I have a strong interest in. I like to stay busy and be creative and that's why I do so many projects. I feel like I need to stay busy and productive. I slow down when I feel I need a break, I love spas, messages, natural environments that make me feel one with the Universe. When I focus on good things, energy and vibes it's like my soul gets a cleanse in that moment and It's so beautiful.

I hope you all have a Marvelous Day 

LoveLife and All that it has to Offer :-)

Transition

Hello Everyone

Today I'm writing about how I feel my life is in Major Transition. Recently I have come into a Understanding and Acceptance of My Bipolar Disorder more and more. I know this is my Reality and I have choosen to take whatever steps necessary for me to Overcome this and Not let it Overcome me. My Therapist made a Great point last week when she said to me, "You have to work Twice as Hard" and I do. I have so many moments throughout the day when I want to give up on myself. When I Utilize my Positive Affirmations to help keep me on track. These is what I consider my form of medication because it helps me better than a pill. I mentioned before having this blog and being able to write about how I'm feeling and what's going on wit me. Is one of my positive coping skills, I'm extremely grateful. 

 My YouTube Chanel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNGyzsTA4LTyLH_nQNJubNg . All these things are what helps me be able to push through each day. To promote positivity and believing it, truely becoming positive more and more each day makes things a little easier for me to handle things and when I begin to shift out of my happy place I have to regroup and center myself. Until I master my skills, I will practice them until I consider myself perfect in my own understanding.

You All Have A Wonderful Day ;-)

Positive Coping Skills

Hello Everyone 

Happy FRIDAY

I was off work for 2 months until last week and during my time off work, I sent each day  working on getting myself back together. I wasn't my normal functioning self. I began looking into Positive Meditation and Positive Affirmations. So I began practicing my Gratitude,Positive Thinking, I thoughts to myself why not give this a try and see how it work for me. And her I am back to Work, I continue my weekly Therapy Sessions, beginning to go to Support Group. I began applying Laws of Attraction to my daily life. I graduated from Partial a Psychiatric Day Program where I went Mon-Fri from 9a-3p on October 20, 2014. The activities we did where group therapy, recreational therapy and mediation sessions and coping skills. One important thing I learned was to apply Positive Coping Skills to my life to help reduce depression. 

I make Bracelets which I also consider one of my Coping Skills which are on my website under the My Store Page My Website: http://channelleleigh.weebly.com/, My YouTube Chanel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNGyzsTA4LTyLH_nQNJubNg and My Instagram: http://instagram.com/channelleleigh  and this Blog are all ways I can express myself and be an inspiration to someone else living with Bipolar Disorder or Depression. I also learned that I need a balance in order to function in everyday life. Society alone is difficult to live in but with consistently working on myself ,everyday have it's challenges but I work them out by re centering myself and making more rational decisions.

You All Have an Amazing Day :-)

Support

Hello Everyone

Happy Thursday

I want to talk about Support today, It's been on my Mind recently. Everyday I wake up I instantly began applying my Laws of Attraction with Gratitude. I speak out loud on what I'm Grateful for which is My Life, Health, Family, Friends, Job, My Creative Mind & the list can go on. Than I ask my Guardian Angels to Protect Me and My family and friends through our travels and throughout our days. Then I listen to my mediation recording, that's how my immediate morning begin each day. And when I reflect on my life, I have to give Thanks to everyone who do Support me.

With My Bipolar Disorder it's very important to me that I stay focused on my Goals and maintain a Positive mentality to avoid going into depression. One thing I know for sure is Our thoughts become things, so My Thoughts are to know and believe My Dreams Are Reality :-)

Hello Everyone

"To Have Unwavering Faith"-Lisa Nicholas

Lisa Nicholas is a motivational speaker and she was in the movie "The Secret". Along with Bob Proctor, I watched the movie twice once before I had my manic episode and again after I got home from the hospital. Watching this movie made me realize a lot of things, but most of all it made me realize I can and will have everything I want. Patience is your Faith: complete trust or confidence in someone or something. We can have anything we want, But we have to believe our faith allow things time to manifest so they can come to us. It happens everyday. We just need to be aware and allow things to happen.

 My laws of attraction are amazing because I can see something, hear something or something I was thinking about will appear. It's really cool, just like magic. My last manic episode was so amazing for me mentally, I understand now why everyone was worried. I was so High Mentally I was beyond the clouds in the sky. I was creating my own Heaven in a way it was knew for me as well. Learning to understand my life with this bipolar disorder is interesting. One thing I know for sure helps is maintaining my Faith. I always have faith that things will work out and get back on track and sure enough it may take some time but it always happen.

My Life with Bipolar Disorder can be Rewarding and Humbling I am proud of myself. I believe I am a Spiritual Being in Human Form. So if that makes me Weird or Different, I'm So Cool with that. 

Love Life Everyday, Some Days may be Better than Others, but that's okay. Plan to have a Better one tomorrow. 

Growth

Hello Everyone

I decided to write about Growth today because that is the process I'm currently in. After recently coming into Acceptance of being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and choose not to accept it. After this recent manic episode I experienced, I decided I needed to educate myself and grow an acceptance this time around. 

I believe we grow as human beings everyday, we can learn something new in this game of life in every moment, encounter and experience we have. I am growing into my acceptance of my diagnose everyday. My decision to began this blog my You Tube Chanel all derived from my latest hospital stay. I felt the desire to want to be pro active about my situation.

Growing patience, understanding, humility and most of all Growing to know Myself. Accepting who I am and Owning it. I continue to think positively and utilize my coping skills which I consider to be (My Laws of Attraction) to be inspirational to others so they too can use their voice. Every individual have Rights to be who they are and everything they want to be without being ashamed of it. 

GROW to Love, Cherish, Protect, and Be Yourself. Despite what anyone else says: You are Amazing

You are Beautiful, You are Awesome, You are Talented, You are a King, You are a Queen and know that You are Worth It, Just Do You! 

Have An Amazing Day :-)
