Daily affirmations are not my thing. No amount of rephrasing words can change the trauma I have survived. Pretty words can't change that I have severe mental illness.

However, I am taking baby steps towards recovery. For example, I have been walking 5-10 thousand steps almost every day. When it's a struggle to get out of bed, walking feels like a small victory. I am also working on self help books each day. Again, it's doing a little something to feel better.

I know I have such a long way to go, but I am proud of the small steps I'm taking. I hope I can continue to go into the right direction and avoid relapse.
