Instagram post 2178598289417482337_7355221419 If you're looking for one new ritual to begin in 2020 that might change your life in a huge way, we suggest starting the practice of a HAPPINESS JAR! It's the easiest thing: just write down the happiest moment of your day and put it in a jar each night. You will be amazed by what you learn about where the small moments of happiness are to be found in your life. You will also be surprised to discover that moments of happiness can be found even in times of sorrow. And, you will be amazed at how insignificant these tiny moments seem… until they start adding up! Give yourself this gift. It's a wonderful way to bear witness to the almost invisible thread of grace that weaves through your daily life. Why not start today?

Instagram post 2177842099297261048_7355221419 Despite the fact more than 20 million Americans are currently struggling with substance abuse problems, just a fraction of this group (less than 10 percent) will receive the proper care for their addictions. One of the biggest obstacles preventing individuals from seeking treatment is an inability to find affordable care. Here at ECHO Recovery, our priority is to help as many individuals find addiction treatment and support as possible. In line with this mission, we are currently receiving donations that will be used to support individuals in recovery. Learn more on our website and consider donating to our foundation. We can't do it alone. (link in bio)

Instagram post 2170476972466230577_7355221419 We all have the power to spice up our lives and change our routine in order to start working towards new habits. Want to make a change in your life? Whatever it may be, just start with a daily goal. You’re not going to do anything all at once. Even the moon waxes in phases. Just decide what it is you want to work on. Set a goal. And, get up every day and do at least one thing to work towards that goal. Not every day will feel like a major milestone, but if you keep chipping away at it some each day, before you know it, you’ve gotten to the center of it. You know what I mean? Keep going!

Instagram post 2161189106065939431_7355221419 Beautiful work by @collagearts101 "for a wonderfully kind woman" *A note on this piece: I struggled a lot with perfectionism when working on this piece because I felt like it wouldn't ever going to be good enough to call 'finished'. I had my peers in the center help with holding me accountable in setting a time limit for when I would be done working on it and when I would finally gift it to it's new owner. I still don't feel like it's done but I am thankful to my support for helping me move on with my art life instead of fixating! 3.14.19 #collageexpo #collageart #collage #collageartistoninstagram #collagingcolors #collageartwork #mentalhealthawareness #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorder #artistprobs #artinrecovery #artforrecovery #arttherapy #analogcollage #mentalhealthart #artformentalhealth #brainart #artistoninsta #anorexiarecovery #forafighter #anorexianervosarecovery #mentalhealthart
