Since 1991 Mothers in Crisis gave support and
provided information for preventing and intervening in drug use recovery to
women. This organization, Mothers in Crisis did a campaign for hope by
encouraging families with inspirational stories to help them heal from
addictions. Then in 2018 National Month of Hope was declared in April to
promote knowledge and an understanding of hope in a global aspect. You can
inspire others by doing acts of kindness, sharing your stories of hope, and
sending inspirational quotes to others. Even if you or someone you know is not
going through an addiction, you can still motivate someone with hopeful
messages on social media, text messages, or in your e-mails.
Although National Month of Hope began for
addiction recovery, it can also be applied in other areas of life. The first
Wednesday of April is called “National Day of Hope.” This day is to remember
the children that die from abuse and neglect. Yet, there is hope for abuse and
neglect to decrease among children. One-day child abuse and neglect will end;
In the meantime, educate yourself, prevent, and say something if you suspect or
have seen child abuse and neglect.
The National Month of Hope can also be a
splendid time for doing volunteer work. Do not forget about yourself when it
comes to hope. Hope is a strong emotion that is worthy to have in life because
it is a motivator for continuing with your projects. Also, it makes you feel
inspired with optimism for your health, relationships, friendships, and
socializing. Read quotes about hope and write them down in your journal before
going out or before going to sleep.
You can additionally have hope in your spiritual
or religious life which makes you feel more uplifted and calmer. There is
nothing wrong with having hope and believing that everything will be fixed,
repaired, or solved in the future. It makes you trust in your intuition and
trust yourself more. Without hope, it makes it difficult to be optimistic about
yourself and others. Awful events are temporary, and hope alleviates you by
making you believe in possibilities.
Moreover, be realistic when having hope. Work on
your negative thoughts and your negative attitude which is not easy for you
depending on your attachment style. It is easier to feel hopeless and anxious
about the present or your future. Make little reminders in your journal or your
notebook about your abilities, successes, and your talents. Keep motivating
yourself and others.
Furthermore, you can have hope for a better
future and a cure for diseases. You can donate to cancer research, Alzheimer's
awareness, and other charities. If you are recovering from an addiction, do not
lose hope. Purchase a hope poster or print out a hope image to frame in your
office. Look at your hope poster or hope picture when you are feeling
hopeless.
Continue feeling hope even when you feel that it
is not enough for you. Control your anxieties and your negativity with a
professional behavioral counselor or a psychologist. Be yourself and keep
feelings of hope to guide you to your destination. It is never too late to
develop hope in your lifestyle. Here are more websites with more information
