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.

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 :-)

I have an Amazing Fiance' whom words can't describe how Fantastic he truely is. He have accepted me for me from day 1. He have helped me grow into acceptance of myself on many levels. I love him Unconditionally Everyday and I'm Extremely Grateful to be Blessed with Him, I Love You Unka :-)

My Family show me the most amazing support and I am absolutely Grateful for them as well. They stand behind me and encourage me to move forward and they know My Heart is always in a Good place and I Love each and Everyone One of them and Trust Me it's A Whole Lot of Them. I Love You All. 

My Friends are Super Awesome, I consider them to be my extended Family. I have 4 Best Friends, it was 3 but within the last year I obtained an additional 1. I Love my Besties like Sisters each one hold a special place in my Heart and They are all going Maids of Honor in my Wedding. I Love You Girls
