Recovery is uncomfortable....

Yes, Recovery is hard and uncomfortable.... But you should do it anyway, I promise its worth it!

Waking up in a great mood

After a great nights sleep I have woken up feeling happy, positive and ready to start a new week at work. The following music video sums up how I am feeling really well and I hope that it helpsyou to feel the same way. Have a fantastic day! :) x

 

A great recovery song

Fight Song by Rachael Platten

Verse 1]
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

[Pre-Chorus]
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?

[Chorus]
This time this is my fight song
Take-back-my-life song
Prove-I'm-alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me

[Verse 2]
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep they say I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
And I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
And I still believe yeah I still believe

[Pre-Chorus]
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?

[Chorus]
This time this is my fight song
Take-back-my-life song
Prove-I'm-alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me

[Verse 1]
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

[Chorus/Outro]
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

The following five songs alll mean something special to me;

1: Mean by Taylor Swift
This song was one of my fvourite songs when I was in my half recovered stage as it reminded me of my anorexia and it gave me hope that oneday I would overcome my eating disorder. If you listen to the words they are actually quite relevant...

2: Summer of 69 by Brian Adams
This song is  classic and I has always been a favourite of my whole families. I remember listening to this song at every family gathering or party and singing along with my loved ones. It is a bit like a family anthem for us.

3: The way it is by Lee Kernaghan

5: Still the one by Shania Twain
Ever since I was a little girl, this is  the song that I hae always wanted to play at my wedding. I think it is a really beautiful song and I think that the words really desribe true love well and have influenced my ideas and beliefs about what true love actually means.

My recovery song

Most people have songs that they associate with various experiences throughout their lives and for me, the song that I relate to my recovery is Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. If you read through the lyrics below I am sure you will be able to see why this song is so special to me as it sums up recovery so well. I hope the video works but if it doesn't here are the lyrics as well. :)

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Faraway
And breakaway

Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Faraway
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolvin' doors
Maybe I don't know where they take me
But gotta keep movin' on
Movin' on
Fly away
Breakaway

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
