You are moving from surviving to living. Living as a healthy, vibrant and functional adult takes daily commitments, supportive relations, and accountability. Growth is not about changing who you are, but about letting go of who you are not. There are five core areas you can balance without expecting perfections, recognizing you are human, and being imperfect is okay. 
​


​
​Mindfully checking in with yourself is an important component for your continued personal growth, and we want you to keep on living as a healthy functioning adult. We've discovered that journaling your journey can give you an amazing insight to your incredible progress and time to reflect on how far you've come. 

COMING SOON: Our Daily Self-Care Guide will help put your thoughts to paper. Stay tuned!

All of us need positive affirmation throughout our lives. As children, these powerful messages helped us to know that we were worthwhile, that it was all right to want food and to be touched, and that our very existence was a precious gift. The messages that we received from our parents helped us to form decisions that determined the course of our lives.

If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we conclude that life is meaningful and that people are to be trusted. If we were raised with parents who were addictively or compulsively ill, we determine that life is threatening and chaotic—that we are not deserving of joy. These are the crucial decisions that impact our lives long after we have forgotten them.

This collection of daily meditations is dedicated to those adults who are ready to heal their childhood wounds. It is through this courageous effort that we will move from a life of pain into recovery.
​They say, ‘health is not just about what we eat. It is also about what we think, say, and do.’ Mental health forms a significant part of our overall well-being and encompasses parts of emotional health, psychological health, and social awareness. 
Positively shifting focus from illness to wellness, we can aim for a holistic improvement in our mental health. Mental health does not imply an absence of problems. It suggests the presence of robust internal resources that does not let the anomalies take a toll. While disappointments and failures are inevitable, the key to overcoming them is sharp mental faculties.
Out of the all the literary works and reviews that support positive mental health and discuss ways in which we can cultivate them, we've narrowed down some of our favorites to help you discover joy and become your true authentic self.
