Wrap is a wellness recovery action plan developed by May
Ellen Copeland . Mary Ellen Copeland is a woman with a diagnosis of a
mental illness who has difficulty taking many medications due to
allergies. As a result, she has thought about other ways to recover
from psychological symptoms that worked for her and developed her ideas
into a program she calls WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan). She
leads workshops and trains other people to learn her methods so that
they can help themselves and teach other people. In addition to having
written several workbooks, she publishes a newsletter available for
free on line or in the mail.
In this program is the idea that you are your self and
responsible for your reactions and moments. As you are responsible, you
also control what you do by being aware of the options that exist for
you yourself. There are Six plans in this wrap idea, The plan is the
level and progression of what state you are in. As in you can do daily
action plans when doing other plans for you are often in two states but
the more obvious state is thought on. There is only one person who can
write your WRAP—YOU.
You, and only you, decide if you want to write one, how
much time it takes you to do it, when you want to do it, what you want
and don’t want in it, which parts you want to do, who you want, if
anyone, to help you with it, how you use it, who you show it to, where
you keep it, who, if anyone, has copies of your Crisis plan.

The Daily action plan is ssomething which you do daily,
everyday when you are well as it is what defines the moment of when you
aren't well. That is when you don't do the daily action plan, you could
be at another stage of crisis. Its a simple form that you can fill out
for yourself as it is a form fill it is better to do it as is and try
to follow up as well as inform people where it is to make certain on
you. The form for this is this [form].
The things you can do for this in a crisis is to call 211 for the mental cops as crisis intervention team or use wellness tools to cause you to reduce your level of crisis. Some of these wellness tools are listed below. Most criticism can cause a crisis sometimes by missing or misunderstanding a point so say to yourself, 'I am not responsible for others opinions of me.' As with criticism, consider the source as with truth or untruth. For more affirmation to say 'I can take care of me' and it is dealing with the crisis as sometimes. So some things people do with criticism is ignore it, walk away, confront them, exercise, do an affirmation or SE, give self credit, journal, puzzle, read, drink, take some drug, try suicide, (SI), or to overdose, (HF), get depressed, or eat. At some pont we do have to stop or we might go overboard. As might is ego its been proven on psychologists records. This listing of wellness tools is somewhat accurate.
Music |
that helps to sleep and relax, listening or playing. |
Journalling |
that allows you to write about stressors and relaxing thought. |
Liesure |
that is reading, coloring, art craftive, or hobbies. |

which is everyday and are things that makes us feel good while mentoring, caring and playing for animals, or do things for children. |

Exercise |
Think to create by feel to accept what your given or take or think to do to accept, two different types of exercising are those that are relaxing
the body to create with is activity by exercise not always feel what you do is aerobic as you avoid the impact exercise. Aerobic which is to get the heart pumping by long duration
movements. Then the anaaerobic which is weight lifting and lifting
things. To do three days aerobic an 2 days anaaerobic is to get healthy
exercise. Do remember there is in medicine atrophy, which if we don't
use it, the limb, unless you want to be anorexic we use things or we lose by things, the body part is use as the body part shrinks as a body condition. |

Early warning signs are internal when use and when you are seeing the problems before they are bad or when someone else sees the problems. See the problems as situations that actually possible to get out of may help you out of it. So you see a situation of something that happens if you continue what you do. Find a way to help and stop an don't do as if to keep you out of trouble. A moment is if it is. A moment of time some use to see a situation. If more people see situations then they can gain experience as to what to do. If the situatations are handled right, then you get alot out of the experience. So you might need to make a list as it might be necessary to be aware of early signs and what you do to work with it. This to do as is possible and to make awareness of what you will do.

include:

A diet is actually an intake of food, seeing the point I use ideal or avoid the mention with food. When you are done eating walk this off with the point to exercise then wait to eat if you need to walk a long time. Exercise some is activity use or activity to create less weight by activity, so when you exercise you create by exercise with 20 to 30 minute time periods unless you start with a 10 minute period so you are to build up to the time with less weight or diet time. So good diet is a
good intake of food and causes weight loss so if you think, think to work things out where a bad diet causes you
to gain weight. Then and finally a balanced diet is thought to maintain your weight
or drop the weight to a point. A point in this case is 50 calories.
To be of better eating is a necessary for good eating
and nutrition. Good nutrition keeps you stable. To keep up a routine of
eating keeps your metabolism high.If its a daily routine, then change
it slowly and wait till your body adapts to the new routine. To use
less portions like cut the restaurant dish in half and to give it to a
doggy bag to take home in. It works alot as you might see what you eat
but it won't be alot of it. As you see what you eat and in digestion
you can see that it is good as it takes less to think more.
When you eat, you tend to think of digestion and whats
on the plate is what you eat..as also to make smart switches is to go
and switch out the fatty food with the low fat food. This has a smart
switch of better effect for you. You need to eat protein and high
calories and drink 8.9 glasses of water a day for this to be truly
effective. To measure the amount you use in say a bowl of cereal and
make certain its right for you is also important. For example, to use
1/2 cup to 1 cup of milk with 1 to 2 servings of cereal. A serving in
this is a half of cup.
One must eat a smart balance, as for
protein, good fats, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, grains of rice,
bread and pasta, and carbs of corn, peas, rice, potatoes. One must stay
with nonfat foods and get at least one serving per day of protein with
sometimes milk, good fats, olive oil. Good fats are Polyunsaturated fat
and Monounsaturated fat. Bad fats are Trans fat and Saturated fat, and
its okay to stay away from dietary fiber.
This is an example of a good diet,
Drink 5 glasses of water daily, at least one, of warm water, before
eating.
1. Upon arising 30 minutes before breakfast.
2. At 10 AM
3. 30 minutes before lunch
4. At 3 PM
5. 30 minutes before supper
2 Teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar Daily

2. It acts as a diuretic
3. It balances the PH of the Urine so you wont retain fluid or bacteria.
(Can be taken with juice, water, or over your salad or vegetables.)

Food for once thought: Obesity is the forerunner to
many diseases. What goes on in your head almost always decides what
goes on into your stomach--you must 'think thin' to get thin! If your
navel is more than three inches above your waist then you might get
diebetes and diseases easier. The good diet allows you to be able, and
to think as if to remember easier.
There are two types of forms that exist for women and
some men, it is of a apple shape or a pear shape. Now apple shapes have
a easier time to lose weight as the apple shape is in the stomach area.
Then the pear shape is in the waistline and is harder to lose weight
with.
Now after a good diet, its to know that it takes 3500
calories or 35 points less to lose 1 lb with exercise or gain 1 lb
without exercise. You can't add weight to lose a lb where you exercise.
So to gauge a good weight for you, as some go by the height and
calories.
For women; 1100 - 1600 or 22 - 32 points per day, for males; they can
eat more. As not eating enough food makes your body to go into starving
mode.
As the bmi (body mass index says from here:

Overweight |
30.0 and Above |
Obese |
For example, here are the weight ranges, the corresponding BMI ranges, and the weight status categories for a sample height.
Height |

To increase metabolism and lose weight easier, Eat first meal of day to jumpstart your metabolism. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day to increase metabolism more. The body will react to a daily routine in eating with exercising itself, and if its in the morning it will start digesting again early on and have a raise in activity.
The crisis plan is as when you do it when you can't
take care of the self, and is followed by the post crisis plan when you
are feeling better. It can be well to be an easy thing or not well and
hard to fill out but it is actually some parts that are filled out when
you are well. To become well, is to think of an idea that may be like
you when you are well and then see yourself doing something not
similiar if negative or similiar if positive. Then write it out as you
make it seem as if your well. Make it realistic and beneficial as it
can help others. The crisis plan form is this [form]
and the post crisis plan form is this [form].
Its to be of use when you are well but written out for use.
This is from the website
of (c) http://www.mentalhealthrecovery.com/recovery_crisisplanning.php
for wrap "I feel very strongly that anyone who has ever had mental
health difficulties needs to develop for themselves, while they are
well, a crisis plan such as the one that follows. This plan allows us
to maintain some degree of control over our lives even when it feels
like everything is out of control.
Developing such a plan takes time - don't expect to do
it in one sitting. Work on it with family members or friends, your
counselor, case manager- whoever feels comfortable to you.
The hardest part for me was uncovering those signs that
indicate I need others to take over for me. It brought up memories of
very hard times in the past. I did it very slowly with lots of support."
This be it to be in it, to be of better sleep is as of a necessary thing for a good awareness. This is to be a cold room but in a hot bed as to rest easier, some think use hot milk to do it and it effects the same. So to exercise is to stay awake, an thus take a bath or do something boring to get to sleep earlier. Don't eat 2 hours before going to sleep or drink something 4 hours before going to bed or you will stay up. This is the time of which you can go an sleep easier. Then theres focuses in therapy. To go through your imagination is to recreate a memory and then try to manipulate it. As per-se it is the effect that is to see it and know it as a memory, and to think to do things in your mind to see if it could go better. To make it do things it normally didn't. This also tires you, so you can do it better to sleep. Try not to stimulate yourself by watching tv or reading a book in bed as it can keep you awake, this is described by the rules listed. Read in a chair instead. Soft drinks' caffene is a possible way to put some asleep and or to cause some to stay awake. Its good to go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time, where the target sleep time is 6 to 10 hours as that is good.

There are two types of self-esteem, internal and
external. Internal is like the reflective of the actions you do, the a
moments that you take to get an achievement like the skills and idea.
There are two different types of internal self-esteem, the type that
are skills and these are like action, money management and belief, then
thiers the actions of which make things up and count as independence
experience. External self-esteem is a easy thing to get taken away as
its self made or gained by action for objects as if a result of
internal self-esteem. Sometimes you can gain things from result as if
not from internal self-esteem. Sometimes like friends or relatives or
jobs. If its taken away then you have an internal self-esteem that
makes it okay and no crisis or you don't have internal self-esteem and
you lose it by going suicidal or in an effort to create disbelieving
things. A set to stone idea unless disbelieved in.
