"Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to meet people who blow your mind with their intelligence, kindness, inner beauty and general amazingness - and Annina is one of these people. You won't be disappointed!"

Gratitude lists are awesome, but so is taking a good look back at what you've already been doing that works! Check out this list of seven questions you can ask yourself to celebrate this year's recovery wins: 1. From ten to zero, where zero represents twelve months ago, where are you in your recovery right now? 2. How come you are already at that number? 3. Which five thoughts or ideas you had or things you did were particularly helpful? 4. Suppose you were able to keep up the good work, what would other notice about you twelve months from now? 5. When you think back over the last year or so, which three situations did you handle particularly well? 6. How were you able to do so? 7. What would it take to handle more situations this well? Let me know in the comments what has worked best for you this year! :)

First marked in 1988, it takes place on Dec. 1 each year as "an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness," according to the website. Globally, there are an estimated 36.7 million people who have the virus. Since its discovery, more than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.

Think of the last time you made the right decision. How did you know? What did you notice that told you that this was it?
#Repost @jennifer_rollin ・・・ You can’t 🙅🏼‍♀️ tell who is severely struggling with an eating disorder-based on their size, weight, or what they look like. . Eating disorders are a MENTAL ILLNESS and yes they can have physical ramifications)-however you don’t have to appear emaciated or even thin-in order to be severely struggling. . If you are struggling with an unhealthy relationship to food and your body-you ARE ‘sick enough,’ and you deserve treatment and support. .

Tell me about a time when that statement was true for you in the comments! 👇 And: If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. 💗
