Читать книгу The ABCs of Recovery from Mental Illness - Carol A. Kivler - Страница 5

Your belief system and self-talk are imperative to your well-being no matter what mental illness you may be dealing with. You may not be able to will away your illness; however, you do have the capability to remain productive. During various stages of your illness productivity appears differently. When you’re first out of the hospital, preparing a well-balanced meal, taking a walk, or caring for a pet, would be considered productive. As you continue your journey to wellness attending a day program, returning to work, or caring for your children are examples of the next level of engagement.
