Why is it so hard to be proud of the positive changes you make when you’re diagnosed with a mental illness?

A big reason why its hard is because of how society views mental illness influences our self-worth and instead of feeling proud of our progress. We feel things such as these emotions.

<ul><li>Hopelessness </li><li>Frustration </li><li>Impatience </li><li>Guilt </li><li>Fear </li> </ul>

In reality, those small victories are a prime example of perseverance, resilience and progress, not failure. Feelings like the ones above prevent us from realizing our small wins are just as important as our big wins.

Overcoming these negative feelings isn’t easy, but there is hope with a tool psychology calls reframing.

Reframing can turn suffering in silence into self-disclosure in relation to being open about our mental health.

Reframing helps you see being open about your struggles and medical condition as a sign of strength and courage.

Instead of viewing it as a weakness or character flaw. Through reinforcing the belief there is nothing wrong with being honest about mental health.

In fact, self-disclosure helps to build our confidence and empowers us to advocate for ourselves by giving us a voice in our recovery.

Reframing turns self-loathing into self-compassion regarding how we view our progress and struggles.

Stigma makes us think our accomplishments or progress are untrue beliefs such as they’re irrelevant.

It took me a long time to realize I should base my success, not on the progress of other people but I my own personal gains I made in my recovery.

While remembering whether we take giant leaps or baby steps forward you should feel proud of your progress. The reason is baby steps and giant leaps have one thing in common they’re both steps in the right direction.

Plus baby steps may not seem like much but eventually they turn into enormous successes. This mindset helps you be more patient with yourself, and helps you develop self-compassion as a coping skill.

Through taking a healthier and more compassionate approach to how you communicate with your inner critic. Self-compassion reminds us we may not exactly be where we want to be in life, and that’s fine.

When we reframe our beliefs surrounding self-care from selfish to selfless.

When you live with a mental illness self-care isn’t optional in your recovery journey. Self-care is a vital part of your recovery journey, and things like therapy and meditation are a vital component of our self-care routine.

For this reason you should be mindful of your unhealthy self-talk and beliefs surrounding self-care. Then replacing your unhelpful self-talk and beliefs with healthier alternatives such as self-care is selfless, not selfish.

When we reframe how we view self-care from selfish to selfless we’re taking the proper steps to start living a healthy, well-balanced life.

Through empowering ourselves to believe there’s no reason to feel ashamed for focusing on our mental health. Healthy self-care practices show you want to feel better and want to play an active role in your recovery.

Lastly, reframing doesn’t mean you won’t get frustrated, disappointed or have challenges or no longer have a mental illness.

However it will help you adapt a more resilient approach to building a stronger treatment plan. It does this not by making our lives perfect but by reinforcing the following traits.
