We are all of us, brilliant at at something… Match that with the things you need, as basically as possible, and then, the magic can happen. It is not about making money… No… It is about generating a bit of pride and self-worth, at seeing something you have made, or done. To the very best of your ability… Only we can do that, each for ourselves. It is a deeply personal thing… Unique to ourselves…
Maybe write a a letter to yourself… Telling yourself that you are indeed a unique individual.
For a start, you know first hand what your own experience of life is like… Not from someone else, but from sheer eperience… Mental health difficulties cannot be described, they have to be experienced o be understood. It cannot be taught in a classroom or univrsity… Boy, are we gifted!
We understand about what help we need from others… So… In time… Recovery even… We may be the people to write the self-help books of the future… Celebs cannot do it! Ghost writers cannot do it… But perhaps WE can… Pen and paper… Notebook app on phone or computer… Save as rich text. Even Pdf. Even an old typwriter or wordprocessor typewriter. Save to USB stick, or SD card. Tiny amoounts of memory… Cheap printer… file it all in binders, so you can see it often… It is your own work/property. Really, really important and special.
You have done it yourself, for next to no financial outlay.
Celebs hae to pay people to do this for them! No pride or self worth generated…
Also, on your phone, you have a top notch digital camera… Have a go at photography… flowers in colour is a good place to start… Get yourself a cheap printer… sometimes a print shop can do this for you, and admire your pictures… A4 size. Again, in a folder. Notice how we start to feel better about ourselves, regardless of others (we don’t have to show them…).
Great oaks from from acorns grow…
This can cost virtually nothing in monetary terms… But the emotional benefits can be beyond our wildest dreams.
But first we have to begin…
